linclink Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Wow, sounds like they are performing the whole double album, all 20 songs..."...to perform 20 new Jeff Tweedy-penned tunes.". Wonder if that's right?My hope is that there will be more than one NYC show. I'm probably at least going to get tickets for this on Friday & see how it goes, hoping for a second show to make the journey worth it. "Part of 2014 Next Wave Festival and Nonesuch Records at BAM Jeff Tweedy, founder of the pioneering Chicago rock band Wilco, makes his BAM debut as part of Nonesuch Records at BAM. Celebrating the release of the new album Sukierae—under the moniker Tweedy, a collaboration between Jeff and his 18-year-old son Spencer—the father-son duo is joined by Jim Elkington on guitar, Darin Gray on bass, and Liam Cunningham on keyboards and guitars to perform 20 new Jeff Tweedy-penned tunes. Jeff also performs a solo acoustic set featuring songs from the Wilco and Uncle Tupelo catalogs." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was just a poorly worded press release. Especailly if Jeff is also doing a solo set, he would be one tuckered out boy after that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hilliard Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 just a heads up if you live near BAM I just walked in and bought 2nd row tickets its a block from my brownstone thought it was worth a shot and came up big and I am a non bam member Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Got front row of the balcony on the on sale . Anyone ever been to the venue before? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Kind of frustrating, the "Buy" button didn't appear for several minutes. When it finally did, the floor seats were nothing special, so I went with Mezzanine. Row E, close to center. Never been to this venue, but the pictures look nice.

linclink Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I went to BAM for two nights in a row of John Cale doing "Paris 1919" & then another set of various songs. It's a great venue with terrific sound.This was totally frustrating I was juggling acupuncture patients & a call from a relative about a death in the family, but made sure I was ready to go at 10:00 & there were no tickets available.I had to keep juggling & checking back & did get two decent ones- in the Orchestra, off to the side, but towards the center, somewhere in the first 10 rows or so...but I lost two even better ones from my cart somehow. Really crappy work from whoever runs this for BAM.Now I'm going, but I'm really, Really, REALLY hoping that there is a second NYC gig, or a second gig somewhere in the vicinity to help me justify the road trip. Happily I can always schedule work that I do in a Shamanic tradition in that downstate area around that time if need be to.If there isn't a second gig in the region, & I can't schedule that work around that time as well, then I will probably have to sell these tickets.
