choo-choo-charlie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I think it would be a great show!...Tweedy and McGuinn haven't shared the stage in quite some time... Man, Jay played some tasty guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I don't like having these numbers tossed around, and I have to say it seems like a kind of dodgy thing for a promoter to be talking about on a fan site. I posted in this thread due to the location, but I actually somewhat agree with you. We don't need to know such things. We just need to know where and when the show is, and how much the tickets are going to cost. I mean no offense to Mr, Skywalker, but it does seem sort of an odd thing to post on here.

choo-choo-charlie Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 for me, his playing makes the performance. All of the licks & fills in this tune are perfect. Perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bouldermary Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 that sounds like a dream show to me, but way too far away. how about some place out west. i'd be there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Shackleford Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I just saw that Wolf Trap will be having McGuinn at the Barns next April (they announce their season pretty far in advance, I guess). I wouldn't mind if Tweedy swung by this way around then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Skywalker, I live in Tampa but if you book this show for a Saturday or during winter break (we teach), then my wife and I will attend. Studies show that dates that work for us work the best for all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skywalker2754 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Myself not being so much a "promoter" persay but more of a fan in attempts of trying to put on a great show in an area that lacks such great bands like Wilco playing in the area often. I just thought I would ask personal advice from fellow fans from the board of what seemse feasible. Pretty much i only stated the figure of the booking rate because it was asked and to put the show in perspective of how many people would need to attend in order to breakeven and not lose money on the show. Sorry if it offended anyone! It is public information for anyone to find http://www.concertideas.com/#/search/jeff%20tweedy I just wanted advice, because as a fan it is a decent amount of money to put on the line for a dream show I would love to see happen.
