Muzzle of Dan Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 This just made my day! I am definitely looking to do both San Diego and LA... maybe Santa Barbara... I'm hoping they will add some more LA dates after everything sells out really quick.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I enjoy occasionally reading people's comments on Facebook when Wilco posts something there. Today, Wilco addressed the complainers and question-asking folks with a comment about "if you go to wilcoworld.net and look at the shows page, you'll find information about things already on the schedule or things that just happened." Like the people complaining about no shows on the east coast or southeast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like the people complaining about no shows on the east coast or southeast. I think it's really amusing to look at the FB comments as well. Whenever "Wilco" posts anything, immediately there's like 100 comments by various people basically begging the band to come to their town/city/country (even when they just have). But hooray for all you West Coast folks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottwok Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Totally stoked... Gammage in Tempe is a great venue... Hope they add more LA shows... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I am trying really hard to figure out where Davis is without looking at Google maps. I can't be the only one who came up blank on this town or city? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scribex6 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Davis is near Sacramento and is a large college town where the University of California, Davis is located. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madrone Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 STOKED! I wonder if they'll add another Warfield show on that day off before the Fox. 2x Warfield --> Fox will be sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hmmmmm.... LA or SD? I like the drive to SD better, but I am skeptical about the venue. Hollywood sounds more fun... Hmmmm... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 the san jose and santa barbara venues look cool as hell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Holdin on to black metal Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Fox Oakland is awesome. Warfield SF is good too. Never been to San Jose Civic... heard it's pretty good. Mondavi in Davis is a beautiful building, but a pretty conservative theater... i.e. no food or drinks pass the lobby i.e. bring a flask Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daranih Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sad panda to only 1 western canadiana show. Road trip anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madrone Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The Fox in Oakland is stunning. It just underwent a $90 million dollar renovation, and it now looks and sounds amazing. I've seen about a dozen shows there since the remodel and it's far and away my favorite theater-sized venue in North America. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amlabella Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I go to UC Davis and have never seen Wilco live, so I'm all over that February 1st show! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ironicninja Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've never seen a band hit San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose on the same leg of a tour! I'm gonna try to go to all three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I'm actually a UC Davis alum, and I've never been to that theater which I probably funded somehow. Seriously considering it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same here - Go Ags! Unfortunately I live in southern Ca now, so no Davis trip for me... but I'll hopefully be able to catch the LA & SD shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 January: 28 San Jose Civic Aud., 29 SF Warfield, 31 Oakland Fox. February: 3 Eugene Hult Ctr., 5 Vancouver BC Orpheum, 6 Spokane INB Perf. Arts, 7 Seattle Paramount, 8 Portland Schnitzer, First things first, thanks for coming back to the Paramount in Seattle again (a new Paramount roadcase show was just posted from last years). But, look at this schedule! 3 Bay Area shows in four days. All they have to do is drive north a bit, then cross the bridge for Oakland. Sounds pretty relaxed (same base camp possible). Now look at a map. From Eugene, up to Vancouver (ok, 2 days for that, but 400+ miles), but then all the way (400 miles) south and east to Spokane the next night , back 280 miles to Seattle the next night, and down 180 miles to Portland the next night? That is a grueling schedule for the road crew, even if the band does fly, which I take it they don't most of the time. How the hell do they get any sleep (the stage crew). That is a brutal schedule Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How the hell do they get any sleep (the stage crew). That is a brutal schedule The routing might not always make the most sense, but I don't think it really matters that much to the band/crew. They each have a bus and a driver and they all sleep overnight as they're headed to the next stop. So while the schedule is grueling in some ways, I don't really think getting sleep is the worst of it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah, and those buses look nice and roomy. I would imagine it's not all the comforts of home, but not quite like a struggling local band in bunk beds or reclining seats. Just out of curiosity, has anyone on here ever seen the inside of either the band's or the crew's buses? Care to tell us how they're outfitted? I think about Jeff's comment on Ashes or maybe Sunken Treasure where he talks about how the bus smells like hell because of all the Amy's frozen burritos they've been eating. It's a good thing they all seem to be such good friends, and maybe their diets are improving! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looks like Wilco tweeted yesterday that the support act on the West Coast run will be White Denim. I'm not overly familiar with their music, but I'm pretty sure Jeff namechecked their record (or one of their records) in a recent interview. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
