kidsmoke Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Yeah, at the memorably named "Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre at SDSU"! If the students haven't got a nickname yet for this place, they need to get right on that! Anyway, I'll be there and I'd love to meet up with any VCers in attendance. My seat isn't terrific...in Section B, row J, #22...but I don't even care. I get Wilco and this joy is enough! I just checked...the last time I saw Wilco at Cal Coast CU Open Air Theatre was August 27, 2007. Susie and the kids (Sammy, 7 and Spencer, 11) were in the row just ahead of us with Uncle Danny. It's a nice venue. I have warm, fuzzy memories of Jeff pointing Susie out as he intro'd & dedicated ITMWLY. And as he chided her to clap along, her muttering cheerfully, "Oh I'm not clapping along." She was busy; Sammy had fallen asleep in her lap. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Not me, but my oldest son will be there (my daughter was at the show Wednesday at Red Rocks). If you see him - he's a big, friendly guy - tell him I said "hey!" Have a great time! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I'll be there. Section AAA, Row 6-- all the way Patside. As of yesterday, someone had the seats right next to mine up for resale at $745.00 plus fees, each. (My ticket cost $92.75.) If anything, they should be discounting the tickets for having to sit next to me... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Looks like at least half of the tickets in the A-F sections are still unsold as of 2 p.m. day of show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shug Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I grew up here, saw a lot of shows there but none in over 30 years! It will be cool and weird to return! David Gilmour in ‘83 Stevie Ray Vaughan with Bonnie Raitt opening in ‘86 Ratt, Fastway, Zebra in ‘83 hahaha! The Animals in early eighties too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Tonight's setlist...Late Greats was omitted, probably due to the 11p.m. curfew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 They were done at 10:45 p.m., so they could have played "The Late Greats" if the curfew was 11 p.m. I just walked in the door at 1:10 a.m. after a 138-mile drive. Four hours to get to San Diego; just over two hours to get back. Typical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
