JAK2112 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Anybody think there's a chance of Wilco doing a late show Friday or Saturday in Chicago around Pitchfork this weekend? It'd definitely be cool, and considering they're doing one around Outside Lands in a few weeks, i don't think it'd be out of the question for them to treat their hometown fans to a special show.

nalafej Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I would say no chance. Would be cool if they did stuff like that though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Well, since the Tweedy band is playing at Forecastle Festival in Louisville on Saturday, I'd say chances are pretty slim... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 There were still tickets for Pitchfork last I heard, but they could be gone by now. Isn't THAT a Chicago show. (Come see me in the record tent if you come to the show.) LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Madcap Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Aside from the Pavement set in 2010 I haven't gone since 2006 and 2007 since the lineups haven't been that appealing and it was always seemed to be on the hottest weekend of the year. Of course I'm going friday and saturday this weekend and it's going to be a bazillion degrees out. I just hope that no music gets cancelled because of storms or something.

nalafej Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Wilco' set will be streaming on YouTube (along with other artists)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sure, I'll take the bait for $2000, Alex. I need to earn my pretentious hipster cred, so I will see them Friday even though I have been seeing them live about close to once a year, which comes nowhere near Bböp's attendance record. But, whatever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Do we know what time they play? I gotta watch the stream now, because they might debut some of these new tunes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Come see me in the record tent if you come to the show.) LouieB Yes, i meant a late night show afterwards (akin to what they're doing at the Independent after Outside Lands). I will be at Pitchfork though, hoping to hear some Star Wars debuts now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Jeff said at his MCA Pitchfork talk tonight that they're gonna play Star Wars tomorrow. Not sure if that means the whole record or just a few songs, but of course they're gonna play some of it because why put the record out now if not to play at least some of it on a big platform?

A number of TWL songs were first played at their home away from home in the Berkshires in 2011, so why not SW at a festival in Chicago in 2015? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rhino4evr Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's cool that there are premiering them at pitchfork...but if I had just spent $1000s of dollars to go see them in Solid Sound I may be just a tad butthurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 There's a local 1800 seat venue in town and I write them every week to book wilco. I hope they do it this time. It'd be nice not to have to drive 2 hours or more to see Wilco one time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
