I'm going to Mansfield.

 

You should read the threads for the past 8 shows. Mr Heartbreak & friends have been doing a great job of posting info.

I have two tix in the pit for this show and now it's looking like I can't make it, does anyone know if/how you can transfer these or if worst case scenario I can just cancel them?

I believe Ticketmaster/Live Nation have a transfer option. They basically void the tickets you have and generate PDFs.

 

I might be interested in taking them off your hands-- I didn't buy them during the on sale as I couldn't justify the cost. I'm sort of kicking myself now.

I thought maybe someone had traveled to the future.

These are PIT tickets, no PDFs, I need to show up with proof of ID and get escorted to the door or something :^(

You might try calling the venue itself and see if you can speak with the manager. I did that for the Va. Beach venue and the manager was extremely helpful--she's my new BFF.

The Weather was Good!.The fun  in the lot was great lot's of Acoustic Guitars and impromptu singalongs.

JT teased those that did not make to SSF, and later joined Bob for the first time on Tangled up in Blue.

I've tried to organize meetups too, and the only time it's been halfway successful is when it's right at the venue. The reason, I think, is that for a majority of diehard fans at a GA show, there's a determination to get as close to the front as possible. So the priority is lining up early and the bar socializing takes a backseat. At a reserved seat show, though, I enjoy getting together at a bar beforehand.

Wilco's set.

Wilco's set.

 

What's that last song? Tomorrow?

[choo-choo-charlie]

Most likely their "Tomorrow Never Knows" cover.

[Magnetized]

Was it Tomorrow Never Knows?

[Cold as Gasoline]

Twitter and the Dylan forum say "Tomorrow Never Knows" with Jim James.

 

Jon Putnam ‏@putnam391h

Tomorrow never knows holy fuck @wilco with Jim James #AmericanaramA

[twoshedsjackson]

Yes , it was Tomorrow Never Knows, and it was insanely good.

What a great show. We were on the rail in front of Nels. I'll write more in the morning.

[jsarnerphoto]

Sorry, snapped it as the lights turned out for Dylan. But, yes- blazing rendition of "Tomorrow Never Knows." I may have drifted off into one of my funks for a few minutes and missed it, but I'm just looking at the list now and I believe Jesus, Etc. was cut. Please chime in if I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

 

Oh and Dylan's Desolation Row was Phenomenal!!

Weir taught it to them I suppose, and it must have stuck.

[H.Stone]

"Less Than..." is the grabber in that list.

Thanks for posting that photo - I was struggling to remember the order. Yes, Jesus, etc. got cut, but that rendition of Tomorrow Never Knows was worth it. Wow.

 

Despite the awful heat, we had a great time. Got up there early and met some really nice people who were there largely to see Dylan. They'd never seen Wilco, but they certainly picked a great night to do so. We were told that only about 5,000 tickets had been sold, and the huge number of empty seats made it easy to believe.

 

Anyway, after waiting for a little while, a venue employee emerged and warned us that a violent thunderstorm was minutes away. He was not kidding. We all took shelter next to the front doors while the storm passed. It broke the heat for about an hour, then it got gross again.

We eventually got in and headed down to the pit. Easily the best view I've ever had at a Wilco show. We were on the rail at Newport last year too, but there was a much bigger space between the barrier and stage, and the stage itself was very high. Not here. The stage was shoulder level and I could have reached over and touched it.

 

I'd never heard Ryan Bingham, but he was good. Kinda southern/country rock. He played to a mostly empty house as fans trickled in.

 

My Morning Jacket...My first time seeing them. They started off ok, then went on an incredibly long, boring slow jam thing in the middle of their set (with the thin, still trickling audience it was hard not to make a Spinal Tap "free-form jazz exploration in front of a festival crowd" parallel). Just as I was starting to write them off and think "at least I still have the albums" they suddenly bounced back and killed for the last few songs. Weird set.

 

Wilco was great as ever. It was a great set list. Remember The Mountain Bed, Muzzle of Bees and Less Than You Think were particularly beautiful. Via Chicago was a highlight too, and it was fun to see the confusion on the faces of Wilco virgins during the chaos. The band seemed happy. There wasn't much in the way of banter, but Jeff was all smiles.

 

We left after Wilco. We've both seen Bob before (at the same bad show years before we met!) and been unimpressed, but mostly we just needed to get home to kids & dogs. I'm pretty bummed that I missed Desolation Row, though.

I am a huge Wilco fan, been to 2 solid sounds, a few other shows etc and loved all of them.  I love pretty much all their music too.  On the flip side I don't know any My Morning Jacket at all, but I thought that their set was so much better than the Wilco set.  It just had so much more energy!  I was actually getting kind of bored with the Wilco set, and thats definitely never happened to me before.  I thought the jam in the middle of MMJ's set was awesome! At least around me the crowd was really loving it!  Anyway I enjoyed the Wilco set (especially Less Than You Think, impossible germany and I got You), just thought the MMJ was way better.
