tstrapac Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 In my opinion, the balcony is the best place to be unless you are right down front. Then again, I don't like to stand after staying in line. During the Winter Residency shows I sat in the balcony. Even if several rows back, sit off to the left or right and you can get an aisle seat for comfort and a better view. There is a sweet spot in the aisle seats on either side of the balcony where you will be able to see without anyone blocking your view. Acoustics are very good too. I'm sure there are other places like near the sound board for acoustics. From my experience, either right up front on the floor or near front of balcony. It's fairly easy to get a good balcony seat without getting in line extremely early as the rush is mostly for the floor. Thanks for the info. Any ballpark on time to get in line to be right up front on the floor? How about getting a good spot in the balcony? I'm flying out alone tomorrow morning and would love to be able to meet some folks for dinner or in line, so I'm not rolling solo. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mus2009 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I'm driving in for Saturday's show solo & plan on getting in line about 6-6:30. Try to pick up a toy/book for the kids, if possible!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hinko Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It's hard to say what time to get in line, depends on day, weather etc. there are some that get in line at 1:00 or before but there's generally a small group for a long time. A few more will line up between 2-4 and gets a bit steadier after 4. On work days, line starts filling in 4:30-5:30. Remember doors are at 6:30. If you want to get in front, I would get there by 4:00 and you still might not be front row. What stinks is even with a good position, security can screw you up. I think they split men and women in 2 separate lines and if someone is slow to get checked you can watch a bunch of people go by, especially if there is someone with audio recording gear. Anyway, you might want to get there earlier than you think. Oh yeah, good call on the toys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 So, what do people do with coats and other big winter-wear when down on the floor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 So, what do people do with coats and other big winter-wear when down on the floor? They do have a coat check - it's down in the basement, I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 ^^ Yes. The coat check is across from the men's room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sincere apologizes for the false hope and disappointment - after all, i read it n the internet, so it must be true....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 with 4 down and 2 to go, has anyone done a "what's left" list? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm also curious about that. Seems like very little when I read through the sets... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bcdoc Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I am doing my damnedest to get Fake Plastic Trees for the 12th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deceasedlavy Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Oof. The what's-left list is not too enticing. I could only swing one show and gambled on tomorrow. Looking like a fail on my part. Just as long as it's not an all acoustic show I'm sure I won't be disappointed though. An all-covers show might be cool... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm sure there will be a few repeats here and there. And a show that included Casino Queen, Pick Up the Change, Far Far Away and Hoodoo Voodoo sounds pretty good to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Jeff announced during night three that there were going to overlaps and that unlike the last Chicago Riv residency it is NOT everything they have ever recorded. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mus2009 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'd bet on a fair amount of those being performed, but the real question - Sunloathe, come on guys, play it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
