dvigs24 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Any chance tonight's show gets postponed and/or cancelled? Forecast is calling for pretty heavy rain right through the time of the show. I've had strep throat all week, missed 3 days of work, and am having a tough time justifying standing in the rain tonight (especially after Solid Sound, even though that was certainly worth it). I'm terribly upset about having to miss this show...especially since I've had most of the new album running through my mind these past few weeks... What does everybody think?

Wilco Honey Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It goes on rain or shine. It will not be cancelled unless there is lightning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rebajam420 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 so we think they will actually come on earlier than last night? (which was 7:50 i belive) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 so we think they will actually come on earlier than last night? (which was 7:50 i belive) See my comment above. They just posted tonight's times on Twitter and Facebook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kwhitehead Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Earlier set time maybe means you folks will get a longer set tonight to make up for the conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 It's not looking good, friends.http://www.weather.c...our/graph/10009 I'm gonna bail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dvigs24 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 It's killing me right now, but I'm bailing on this show. First time since high school that I've had tickets to a show and am not going (and that was because my Dad wouldn't let me go see The Black Crowes on a Sunday night after having seen Tom Petty the night before...school night - he paid my $10 for the ticket and my 3 friends went without me). Have fun everybody - do your best to stay dry and be safe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 For those of you who want to follow the show while staying dry, i'll again be live-tweeting the underwater show tonight from @subtle_sounds. Part of me is looking forward to another Rain-infused Wilco show, a la the first night of Solid Sound this year which was a heck of a lot of fun. It could get pretty miserable out there though...

Sun Caught Fire Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 sorry folks are bailing on the show. solid sound might have been wet but the music was great. i think the boys will put on an extra long solid set tonight given the sorry state of the weather. got my poncho and looking forward to it as i expect close to 10 songs to be played tonight not played last night. love the back to back shows in the same venue for that reason. at least they have fake grass carpet so should not be a mud fest.

It seems like I would have a Great Spot (based on above) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAK -- thanks for tweeting updates during the show. I'm also in the boat of having tickets for this but deciding to dodge it . . . Traveling from central CT, and the idea of being a soaking mess on the Metro North train ride home at one in the morning sealed the deal. Maybe if I was 22 . . . dad rock indeed.

u2roolz Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks to JAK2112's Twitter feed we can now know that they opened the set with One Sunday Morning at about 7:02p.m.The picture on his other tweet doesn't show too much rain coming down. EDIT: The Yankees/Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium has been postponed, so it must still be raining pretty good in that general area. So much for watching the game and taking tweet breaks. Edit: Maybe I'll just use this space to post the setlist in real time from his tweets, instead of adding 20 plus posts on here.So.....

It's kind of cool cleaning my room and making a playlist to go along with tonight's setlist. I guess I'm still in withdrawal. Completely loving the setlist tonight. Poor Places into Bull Black Nova must have been amazing. Also, that's the 1st time in awhile that Heavy Metal Drummer made an appearance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sam L. Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Excellent show. Much different crowd than last nite--which I think musically was a bit better.No complaints--can't wait for Wilco or Tweedy solo back in NYC.And the rain really wasn't that bad. Great idea to start a bit earlier.

parisisstale Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 the rain was nil for most of the set....only downsidee were the $&@"holes w/ the umbrellas up....buy some raingear people I can't imagine being a fan of this band at the top of their game & missing this show cuz of a little rain, but maybe I'm the crazy one....just sad my mini-3-day run is FINA highlights: poor places, funky funky pot kettle black, Cali stars, super sing-a-log passenger side & again ALL the new tunes.... Not a fan of standing o on the album but live it's a hoot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great idea to start a bit earlier. Sam L. Absolutely. The crowd on the first night sucked. There were a lot of assholes talking way too much during the quieter songs.

Dmada Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I was at the show last night as well.I arrived at 7:30 and missed the first three songs since I don't facebook or tweetI too was bummed that they ended early. But when they played it was good. The sound was turned down, but it wasn't bad at all. Short, decent show. Oh and it poured. Perhaps they had couldn't use part of the sound system due to the rain. Some of the lights were definitely not being used.Its the venue-shows just don't seem to go off well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
