calvino Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Chicago, you're formally invited to Wilco-ween! An end of tour celebration in honor of Wilco's 13th album Cousin. Pretty cool Tix link Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chez Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I got two. Not sure how. I usually have no luck with stuff like this. I'll probably get run over by a pie truck the day of the show. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastsbelly Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Took some time, and showed "Sold Out" at least once, but managed to get in! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Nothin -- got to enter two tickets, then when I hit enter - I got the not available message Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Somehow got in for 1 right away. My daughter's birthday is that day though which complicates things a bit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ctfshjohn Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 will this be a " regular " show, or a short one that they play just the new album ? or maybe a regular show with some covers thrown in for Halloween " musical costume "? thoughts ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regular in length. Heavy on Cousin and rock songs in content. Chicago is so lucky to have Wilco call it home. Carol's & YHF shows last year and Metro & No Repeats Riviera shows this year... 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Am curious to see if they announce an opener like the rest of the tour or not. Would be cool to get a short set of Liam Kazar, Ohmme or another "Wilco-adjacent" band before the main course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Madcap Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Was it ever revealed why they changed their name? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a long story but the short one is that we had to and we see it as part of our life as a band to evolve every couple of years-- kind of like a Pokémon. We're going to announce our new band name next week but we wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your incredible and continued support these past 8 years. We love being Ohmme, we love making music, we love meeting you all out on the road and we look forward to continuing doing so. Ohmme is always going to be a part of our story and in our hearts. Please keep wearing the t-shirts, pulling the vinyl off the shelf, and loudly spelling our (former and current) band name(s) for your friends at our shows or while you're (hopefully) blasting the records at home. We love you all and are excited to share our next chapter with you. For now we're going to take a trip down memory lane and enjoy all things Ohmme. Please share with us and we would so appreciate your helping us spreading the word about our new name when the time comes. Love, Sima & Macie” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Honestly, more bands need to start evolving like Pokemon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Before I realized they change their name I found an electronic artist on Spotify called Ohmme. I feel like I saw somewhere there was legal action involved. Neither name does much to capture the imagination. I do very much enjoy their music though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 FYI: This show will be streamed. https://www.nugs.net/live-download-of-wilco-metro-chicago-il-10-30-2023-mp3-flac-or-online-music-streaming/34697-WEBCAST.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilco_rps Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Dumb question - with this will call setup, will there be a secondary market outside of the Metro? Will people pickup hard copy tickets at will call which could be sold outside the venue? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're looking for a ticket, you could either hang out by the venue asking around for someone whose Plus-One bailed on them, or you could go to the box-office window to see if any tickets get released day of show. That often happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goalinlifewastobeanecho Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Going to the Metro show on Monday but was wondering if anyone has a +1 for the XRT pop up show starting at 4. Tried both days, listened to a real radio, and still struck out. I’ll be at Metro early Monday anyways so why not try to see two Wilco sets in the same day! I’ll buy you a beer if that entices the offer! Let me know and thanks so much in advance!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heart full of holes Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Anyone watching the live stream? It's pretty great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 4 hours ago, Heart full of holes said: Anyone watching the live stream? It's pretty great. Just finished watching. Had to watch the World Series first. It was so much better-directed than the livestream of the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 20th-anniversary show. Jeff's voice is still sounding pretty rough, as he acknowledged. I cracked up when he flubbed the lyric when the vocals came back in at the end of "Bird/Base." It sounded like he sang, "When the sun began to weave..." Thanks to the livestream, I was finally able to figure out what John had taped to his monitor: a lyrical cheat sheet for his harmonies in "Meant to Be." I had noticed this piece of paper at the shows in Southern California earlier this month, but I couldn't see what it said. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
