It would be pretty lame to do two nights and have two identical setlists.
Just Announced

I will go both nights, late ticket buyers be damned. (I will probably try and buy mine too late now.)
your heart yearneth for me?
I figured on getting tickets at the Ted Leo show this Saturday.

I think I'm gonna plan on definitely going Wed., leaving Tues up in the air a bit. But I'll get tix for Wed soon – think the 19th WSC show is too late?
No, it will sell but only in the week(or two) before the show. People dont seem to be so in the habit of buying advance tickets for blackcat. Thats why when a show does sell out there are often several tens of bemused looking people outside.
I hate buying tix in advance at Black Cat, though I always do it. It just feels like you're putting them out (that manager guy's *never* rude, just sometimes discombobulated…)

Two 30 minute albums, and they are headlining. Not much material to choose from, and in the two times I've seen them, they haven't done a single cover.
Almost certainly they'll play the same group of songs each night; perhaps they will screw around with the order.
Nonetheless, it strikes me as a bit obsessive to see the same band two nights in a row at the same venue.

The shows will be identical, and no doubt both will sell out. Limit yourself to one, so another soul can go to the other. It's the right thing to do, being the holidays and all.
Give us another two or three years, and we'll be there too. Won't be naming the kid Maxwell though.

Then I read your last sentence and realized my mistake.
Not a concert announcement, but a birth announcement:
Rhett's wife Erica will no longer be able to be a cover model for Fit Preganncy Magazine, as she gave birth on Sunday.
Maxwell Miller weighed 9 pounds and is 22 inches long.
Hope the kids name is not indicative of a turn toward soul music for the next Old 97's album.
Nevermind… :o

when the shins only had one 30 minute album, how did they manage to do shows of more than 30 minutes of are they like the strokes?
Yes, I sort of re-thought what I said after I posted.
In the cases of bands like GBV, with huge back catalogs, no doubt you can possibly get two totally different shows in succession.
Doesn't seem like it could possibly be that way with the Shins.
Then again, it's probably a case of me being an old man, but I don't like seeing shows on successive nights, even if it's two very different BANDS. One or two shows a month satiates my "needs", more than that diminishes the excitement for me.

shins and les savy fav both announced the same week…why does the black cat insist on taking all of my money? anyone think ted leo will sell out?
Originally posted by god's shoeshine:Yes, me.

They don't. They're both priced at a wonderfully reasonable $12 per show. It's the 9:30 Club that insists on taking all your money.

don't get me wrong. nuttin but love for the 'cat, but when you throw $30 worth of beer on top of that (for lsf at least) its all my money. shit, looks like i will have to go into the big bad city some night this week for ted tix
you really think ted leo's gonna sell out the cat? if i were a bettin man i'd bet not.
drink at home before you walk or metro there. if you don't live within walking/metro distance and are driving you shouldn't be drinking $30 in beer anyway.

Not really, the face value of most tics for 930 shows are reasonable…it's just that the 930 is like most every other venue in the U,S of A, and don't give a rats arse about the fact that ticketbasard and tickets.scam royally shaft us with a big old rotary rose bush. If all these venues got together they could do something about it, because after all it is money out of their own coffers because we all spend less at the shows.
