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? 1 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 Tuesday at 12:25 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:25 PM 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

!goose! Posted yesterday at 10:54 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:54 AM "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 yesterday at 03:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:09 PM 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 yesterday at 03:18 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:18 PM 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 yesterday at 03:26 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:26 PM 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 yesterday at 03:44 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:44 PM 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 yesterday at 09:22 PM Share Posted yesterday at 09:22 PM 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
