nalafej Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Two South East USA dates on the calendar already! Any predictions on what we'll see the rest of the year? More festivals (which ones would we want - I'd love to see them play Newport Folk?)? What are the best venues that they've never played but realistically could this year? So many more questions: What songs from Cruel Country/Cousin will never see the light of day again and which classics will be dusted off? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
!goose! Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 They played way too few off of cousin at the nyc shows in June. They could have done a star wars type tour with that record. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I was watching football from Hawaii yesterday & had a thought. U of H has a new very nice small stadium. Maybe instead of Mexico the band should consider playing in Hawaii. Lots of flights & hotels of all prices available. + I think Hawaii is herb friendly. Nudge nudge wink wink say no more! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They could have done a star wars type tour with that record. We in the West were really lucky ("we were lucky...") that they played a lot of shows here when Cousin came out, and the shows heavily featured the new songs. I saw "Evicted" nine times, and I even got to see them play the "rarities" multiple times (although I missed the lone performance of "Ten Dead" and they still haven't played "A Bowl and a Pudding"). It was really great. The only problem was that only about five percent of the audience was familiar with the new songs, so people would sit down en masse any time they started playing a new song at a seated venue. Anyway, we've been spoiled out here so I'm not expecting a ton of Wilco shows in California in 2025, although I do expect we'll get another Largo run from Jeff. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Winterlude announcement tease is a nice little sign of things to come in 2025. I'll be interested to see what venue they choose... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I'm guessing/hoping Chicago Theatre in December. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
summerdai Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Austin, Tulsa and St Paul for Winterlude in December. Didn't see that coming 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

!goose! Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 "An evening with Wilco" for Austin, Tulsa and St Paul. Wonder if we will see those 3 hour 40 minute sets again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I recall that the band used the "Evening With" designation for those marathon shows they did 10 ish years ago. Have they used it since? I wonder if that's what we're in for, or if it's to signify that there won't be an opener. Or perhaps none of the above! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
summerdai Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Multiple nights, 2 hr ish shows. I see no reason to expect anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Except the data point that they’ve billed shows “An Evening With” and have, indeed, done something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
summerdai Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Well it is an evening with them. I could be wrong, but personally I wouldn't read too much into that. Anyway, am not going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 They've already said there won't be an opener. "An evening with" usually (always?) indicates that the band is the only music performance. I don't think it necessarily means the set will therefor be longer. But I suppose it's a possibility. Anyways, I got tickets for all 3 nights in St Paul, see you folks there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian F. Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I assume it will be like the Port Chester shows: three nights, no repeats, but two-hour sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I decided I could but did not want to go that high. I don't feel the spark of excitement about the thought of going to see them live that I used to (though still listen a lot etc. and liked Cousin very much) - shows just seem too sedate for me now and if I see someone live I don't just want it to be like listening to the records but standing up the whole time. The only acts off the top of my head that I want to see are CMAT / Yard Act / Mary Wallopers (or Macca in a small venue of course but that's not going to happen and at his age he probably wouldn't match my expectations anyway so I would not want that disappointment to sour my love of him/Beatles). It is nice that they got to the Albert Hall though. I've only been there once - to see Emmylou in the 90's. Suppose I'd always want to see Emmylou live too a few more times to get up to double digits. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Aren't you going to go see Oasis, Old Chap? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually find Noel quite entertaining for his honesty when interviewed etc. and sort of like him (not Liam though), but as far as the music is concerned I found Oasis really painfully derivative (the obvious influence) and apart from a handful of tracks can't listen to their banal cut and paste lyrics. Plus, their tickets are even more expensive and I never go to stadium shows - there is a certain thrill to being in a big crowd but I have got that from Wales sports events over the years. Music in big arenas is a non-starter for me - you're just watching the screens not the ants on stage in the far distance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Yea - I was just joking you. I would not want to go to that either. They do have some great songs though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
