chuckrh Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Rock & good news! On a lark I went on Ticketbastard to see what was left for the 2nd Seattle show. I'm going solo to that one. I put in for 1 ADA seat & much to my surprise 1 ticket came up for the front row! So, I'm sitting front row both nights of the Seattle stand. Center 1st night, a little off to side 2nd night. My wallet is hurting but I'm excited! BTW: there are still balcony tickets available for the 2nd show. Woo hoo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bböp Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Some pretty cool support acts just announced for the West Coast run. Joan Shelley, Kevin Morby, Phil and Dave Alvin, old friends Scott Amendola (in Amendola vs. Blades) and Jeff Parker! Wonder what's up with support for the Chicago show...hmm.

bböp Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Well, since no one bit on my SF/LA openers post, I guess I'll try another California-related item that I haven't seen posted yet about Wilco returning to the Bay Area to headline the Sound Summit Festival on Mount Tamalpais with Los Lobos and Bill Frisell's Guitar In The Space Age on Sept. 17 (after the LA shows). http://www.jambase.com/article/wilco-headline-sound-summit-2016-mount-tam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mt. Tam is one of my favorite places in the world, but I've never seen a show at Mountain Theater. And September is such a great time to be up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chuckrh Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I hope it has something to do with shows that are going on at Wrigley that weekend...Eddie is notorious for popping up at other people's shows. It was kind of a running joke with my friend & I for awhile. It seemed every show we went to, Eddie showed up. Broke the the streak when PJ was on tour. At Paul McCartney we got Krist Novoselic instead & no one at the Who. We'll see what happens this summer... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And September is such a great time to be up there.Me, too. Mount Tam is one of my favorite places. And after hiking over an empty wooded Mountain Theater numerous times years ago, it's pretty amazing to think Wilco will be playing here. Such a wonderful location.

Kicking Television Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Last Saturday i saw Wilco in Madrid (Spain). Was my 6th Wilco concert and i think the best. Jeff was happy, the band was on fire and Nels was AMAZING. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/wilco/2016/real-jardin-botanico-alfonso-xiii-madrid-spain-3bfffc1c.html In november, i´ll see them again in Berlin. (Germany......impossible?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 hey, where the hell is that record they've got all finished and ready to release upon the world? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 hey, where the hell is that record they've got all finished and ready to release upon the world? If it's real, I'm willing to bet they'll do a surprise release again. It was this time of year last year when Star Wars surprised us all so... maybe any day now??

lost highway Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Assuming that it's 100% finished (if not we'll really have to hold our horses) we have to assume that they have some reason for delaying its release. As much as I'm dying to crack open another new Wilco record, I'm thinking they're going to hold onto it until they complete these tours in order to give Star Wars its due. That might mean we're waiting until this winter. But then again, who knows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm hoping the next big news Wilco drops on us will be the SS'17 announcement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 They played Seattle soon after Star Wars dropped last summer & did the whole thing to start the show. I'm thinking & hoping they have a new one ready before the west coast dates. They seem to be in smaller venues. Maybe a quieter record coming? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Maybe a quieter record coming? Their few published comments about it seem to suggest that it is exactly that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 And even then wouldn't it be the shortest time between Wilco records ever? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Star Wars and the new record should have a heavy presence at Solid Sound 2017, since not a single song has been played at Joe's Field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Got that presale password too late yesterday to get any tickets for Thurs in LA, but I got a pair in the balcony off to the side in the general onsale this AM. So we are going to Wed and Thur, got decent center floor seats 13 rows back for Wed from the Wilco presale. Looking forward to hitting Cole's French Dip and The Varnish again! kidsmoke, are you in? Is your son coming again? Like knotgreen, I still want to know if they are gonna do Star Wars every night in LA and SF. I sure hope they don't, but they did it at all the two-night stands earlier this year and last year, I think. Not knowing that Is what kept us for going for all three LA shows. If they do Star Wars every night I definitely do not want to hear it three nights in a row. Two nights in a row is pushing it, but I could deal with that if I had to. Matt, I don't know how I missed this earlier, but yes, I'm in! I don't know if Brennan has any time these days for concert outings...he's getting his computer repair business up and running and expanding, so that's eating up all his time right now. But I think I'll talk him into one of the 3 nights. He won't be too hard to persuade, especially if I dangle Cole's and the Varnish. I want to see the Varnish myself, and it would be terrific to see you again! Let's talk when the date gets closer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 hey, where the hell is that record they've got all finished and ready to release upon the world?hang on... I swear it was on here the other day, but no clue where it went! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
