nalafej Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Sounds like this could be a barn burner. And less sloppy than their first show back after a few weeks off... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 That was my thought when I saw they switched the dates. It'll be a regular show just like the other 3, just a little tighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 If I can buy more than one, I’ll try to grab one for you...Grabbed one for ya, knotgreen! There was no limit to how many you could buy (at $30 a pop). They were also selling discounted deluxe editions for $300. Wonder how many of those are still sitting around... Anyway, for anyone interested, it seems like there will be plenty of the Chicago edition OTJs to go around. But then again, I did get there early — fwiw, they opened the shop a little early — and business seemed to be picking up by the time I left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 What kind of stuff were they selling? Anything interesting besides the vinyl? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 What kind of stuff were they selling? Anything interesting besides the vinyl?It was kinda similar to the Oxford Pennant pop-up at Solid Sound, if you went to that. They had plenty of pennants and banners (including a Winterlude specific one), as well as T-shirts (different designs from the band is selling, I believe...more pennant-y) as well as a small corner of Jeff’s guitars (nothing super pricey...almost everything under $1,000). Also, the boxes of the OTJ vinyl, a small stack of old Chicago show posters plus a special Winterlude poster (11x17, I think), a couple of neon Wilco signs and pins and patches and stuff. There was also an embroidery station. Basically a Wilco souvenir shop. Gotta give them credit on the branding... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bcdoc Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I snagged a T-shirt and the Civic Opera poster from 2011. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 “Grand Finale”Good lord, what a show! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Great run, I enjoyed it more than the 2017 Winterlude, probably because OTJ is a significantly better album than Schmilco in my opinion, plus Robyn Hitchcock and SVE were two of the best openers i've seen. On to Mexico! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
