I'm thinking about coming about from Seattle for this. Does anyone know the password for Friday's pre-sale? Thanks!

I'm sorry to say this, but the present-day Wilco has failed to release albums of the same caliber as Summerteeth, Being There, and so on. The radiohead phase stuff turned me off, and I've yet to really get back into their music. With that being said, I am thinking about giving their live shows another chance.

It's still irritating that SP has done a show everywhere but Chicago. I think they've even been to Peoria and Chambana but not Chicago. That's just a kick in the teeth but then again so is this reunion and the last record.

given how terrible his last record was, even the most devoted SP fans would be hard pressed to care were he to "grace" us with his presence.

$35 plus service fees...i'm sure it'll end up being at least $45 a ticket, maybe more. but that's still worth it I think.

jg, it was a slightly tongue-in-cheek remark, although I think a $35 price to see a high-profile band like Wilco is cheap these days ... which is depressing to me and my wallet. Needless to say, they could probably charge twice that amount and still sell out the venue.

it's about f'ing time they came here and did more than one show. since the album came out how many times have they played here? Once?! Better than the Pumpkins I guess. Did Billy Corgan forget he was from Chicago? They have yet to play here since their new album came out, although that could be a blessing in disguise.

$35 is a good price nowadays I guess. But I would drop at least one of those "lows"...
