TCP Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Kacy and Clayton opening for Wilco in Winnipeg, since there's no Saskatchewan shows that sort of almost makes it a home town show for them... nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Will you wear a San Franciscan tuxedo in their honor? (I’ll be here all night...) That probably means something different than it would have meant a few years ago. Now I think it's cargo shorts and a hoodie, so... maybe!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCP Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I wonder why they just dropped two ONE Fillmore performances out of nowhere like that? I would have thought they would have announced this with the rest of the March shows a few months ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought they would have announced this with the rest of the March shows a few months ago. Two? What do you know that we don't? I suspect they either held onto this to make an announcement that would prompt sales at other gigs, OR had to sell out the Oakland shows before announcing, OR had an open day reserved for media appearances that didn't come through and booked it up. Either way, hell of a venue. Is it the venue they've played the most gigs at? Probably either that or Riviera in Chicago? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I wonder why they just dropped two Fillmore performances out of nowhere like that? I would have thought they would have announced this with the rest of the March shows a few months ago.Two? Just the one, I think, right? Stop messing with me. They already screwed up my dinner plans once that week! (Yes, this is where I’m at vis à vis Wilco in 2020...don’t @ me.) But yes, the Fillmore is pretty great and I’m pretty sure second to the Riv in terms of full-band performances and creeping up. This will be, I think, the 17th Wilco show at the Fillmore, compared with something like 24 for the Riv. (Interestingly, I don’t think Jeff has ever performed solo or with anyone other than Wilco at the Riv unless it was a cameo or at a benefit or something like that, while he has done more than a handful of solo and Tweedy band gigs at the Fillmore.)

TCP Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Ooops. Mixing up with the two Oakland shows, which in my rudimentary geographical understanding of the US... it is essentially the same thing as San Fran (right?) not to mention the two Vic shows which just got announced as well. I guess in my head, I just assumed these were two shows. Plus I should never be posting just before bed, BAD idea. I am, as always, NOT in the know on anything. Here is a genuine Canadian apology: sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff was great. Patti was other-worldly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patti was other-worldly.Ok, I figured he must’ve played there at least once. That one’s not in any databases (at least not the setlist), though I at least see the entry for the show in setlist.fm. It was Nov. 22, 1998. Thanks for the clarification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Please describe the SF tuxedo? This depends on the decade! Ooops.

I guess in my head, I just assumed these were two shows. Plus I should never be posting just before bed, BAD idea. I am, as always, NOT in the know on anything. Here is a genuine Canadian apology: sorry. As someone who lives in SF and works in Oakland, they're far enough apart to make my commute a major pain. (I was spoiled for years working in SF, while most of my co-workers commuted in from the east bay, so now I'm getting a taste of my own medicine!) And the Fillmore is an easy bus ride from home, while the Oakland shows... are about six blocks from my office, so the commute to those is still a major pain! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Madcap Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Wonder when they'll announce some US summer dates, assuming they do. A saturday night at Pritzker in Chicago would be glorious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
