Madcap Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 How does this work? Do people just show up and if there's room they let you in? How early do you think I'd need to get there to see Jeff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I didn't go last year, but in all other years nobody was shut out during the Tweedy performance. Getting there at doors opening time has always gotten everybody in as far as I know. I will say that the lineup looks better than ever this year though so maybe that will change things. Jeff is also playing a bit later than the last few years if my memory is correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy in SFCA Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have Tues and Wed off and enough frequent flier miles for a free ticket. I'm seriously considering going to this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I have no idea what WBEZ 91.5 is or what time this show is broadcast, but some of you may be able to make more of this by following the link ... During his remarks at Sunday's memorial for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, President Obama called for change. We begin a series of conversations about what change might look like. Plus, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy talks about his upcoming marathon fundraiser. http://storify.com/WBEZ/afternoon-shift-212-time-for-change?awesm=sfy.co_cC1G&utm_medium=sfy.co-twitter&utm_campaign=&utm_content=storify-pingback&utm_source=direct-sfy.co Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 WBEZ is Chicago's NPR station. Airs today between 2 - 4 PM CST Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Jeff played an acoustic "You Are Not Alone" talked about how the event came about 10+ years ago, The Blisters, the concept of the event, song requests, the auctions. Kinda snoozy. Since the tour finished up, Jeff said he's mostly been working on Mavis' second record which will be finished next month. Doors open 5:45PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Jeff played an acoustic "You Are Not Alone" Just curious--did Jeff or the interviewer make any reference to the school shootings when he sang You Are Not Alone? That song came up on my iPod over the weekend and it hit me as particularly poignant and consoling. Sorry to bring up a horrible topic, but given the timing of the interview, I wondered if they might have made some connection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cold as Gasoline Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Not much. First song auctioned off for $500ish. "You're Not Alone". Jeff says he'll wear a sombrero for an extra $50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Wow, wish i could live chat this with someone. A guy just bought a song for $1000 on the condition that Jeff go out on the street and sing for all the fans waiting in line who can't get in. So nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
