thagle Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 So what does this mean?Aside from Lolla last year, they havent played a show in Chicago in over a year and based on the schedule it looks like it wont be at least until september But the Lolla weekend is open, does this mean a repeat appearance (doubt they'd do it twice in a row) or does it mean a multinight fall run?

Preferred B Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 With Wilco being based in Chicago, in my opinion, it's not really possible to look at a schedule in March and say that there's no chance of any shows until September. Of course, if they just wanted to keep playing Wisconsin shows I'd be down with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 In the last year, Chicago has gotten (off the top of my head) five Wilco shows, a set at Lollapalooza, at least four shows from Jeff, at least two shows by Nels, a few Autumn Defense shows, and at least one show by Glenn. And that's just in the city--the band, Jeff, Nels, and Glenn all had shows within a relatively easy driving distance. Yeah, that's a real lack. What I think some Chicago fans forget is that they've got fans all over the place, and they really do try to get to places where they haven't been recently, or to places that don't get a lot of shows. And unless you know something the rest of us don't, how do you know they're not planning a summer show? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 and why are you complaining? chicago has gotten the majority of the shows in the past. suck it up and let some one else see wilco in their home town. plus milwaukee is pretty much a suburb of chicago anyway. drive the 90 mins and see them up there.

thagle Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 wow arent the out of town people touchy on this boardsure we're somewhat spoiled living in chicago when it comes to wilcoso was san fran when it came to the dead....big deal since the residency they've played one show (lolla) I was simply asking if they had plans to play anything else before september since nothing is listed I dont care if the Autum Defense Liberation or Pat or Glen have solo shows here, sorry while many may clamor over those shows, I do notI was simply asking a question about wilco playing in chicago its not my fault that they and I live in the best city in the United States Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think it was the broad stroke of your subject header that brought most of the negativity to the thread. People generally do not sympathize with that. Though, I think your header wasn't a good representative of your original post. Like you said, you were just asking.
