Wilco 2/26 and 2/27 9:30

Now now, I'm only one person. You'll have a piece of me pre-Ween or post-Ween…

Got 2 for each night…I might have 1 extra to sell for 1 night, if so it'll be on here for face of course

I got shut out for both nights during the pre-sale and both nights again today. Very frustrating not being able to see my favorite band in DC. If anyone has a single ticket for either night that they can't use please let me know.

It sounds to me like everyone who was on at precisely 10 got what they needed. I got 1 wednesday.

Actually I was on at 9:58 both mornings and was completely shut out.

Any chance of seeing a preview of the poster? Or perhaps the ones they refused?

So what was everyone's technique they used to score tickets? I was shutout but my wife got tix. Hit refresh? Hit the continue button? Whatever I was doing was obviously wrong if everyone else seemed to get tickets.

Got one ticket for both nights!

Doesn't Wilco do a fairly standard set? I think those who bought for both nights are going to end up getting less of an experience.

I was seeking three for one night. I couldn't get them for the first couple of minutes, then changed my order to one, and got it. Then on the same order, I went back and chose to buy for another show, but chose two more tickets for the same night.

Does anybody have experience with tickets for two different shows (in my case not really, but it might be looked at that way) on the same order? Will they all come in one envelope in the mail?

I figured with these shows coming shortly after their 5 night stand in Chicago where they pledged to go into the depths of their back catalog they would be more apt to have some setlist variety over the two nights.

Normally I'd agree. But between how killer their Merriweather show was, and the fact that Tweedy just had the new line-up learn the older songs for that 5-night run in Chicago, I'm optimistic for a killer set list each night with a bunch of older songs.

The tickets will come in the same envelope, if they were indeed part of the same order. I think you save a couple dollars in mailing costs if you order them together too.

I went to see Wilco on both nights when they played the 9:30 Club a couple years ago, and I was very glad I did. There was plenty of variation in the set lists as I recall.

Last time they played back-to-back nights at the 9:30, both sets were 27 songs. 15 songs were played on both nights.

Wow, I see Casino Queen was played alot on the last half of 07…

Given that they have already done a Sky Blue Sky tour and they are coming off those shows in Chicago where they play their whole catalog, I think there is a good chance they'll play a lot of stuff they haven't played in a while.

Pro: Sky Blue Sky's mediocrity will drive away the fair weather fans.

Con: The hardcore fans have to listen to live songs from Sky Blue Sky.

It's really a Catch-22. Sky Blue Sky was the first record I've ever wanted to return after listening to it.

And here I was thinking it was Wilco's best, and the best album of 2007, period. And Wilco and I go all the way back to me seeing them at the F Street 9:30 Club. Silly me.

Why didn't you care for it?

I didn't like it at first but it grew on me.

Despite what it might look like, I'm not trying to crap on Wilco. (I apologize if it seemed like that.) I own everything they've released, and I went to one of those sold-out October shows. I used to be a big fan.

It just struck me as so bland, so lacking in any spark or fire. Like a musical representation of that washed-out grayscale cover.

There was a time I would've been first in line. As it is, I didn't know about this tour, this show, or this sale. Kinda sad.

Not sure why I felt the need to share my Wilco disillusionment. ;) I hope everyone (who got tickets) has a great time at the show.

Since when is bland necessarily a bad thing? I mean both vanilla and chocolate ice cream are pretty bland. But when done right, they fucking rock.

I think that's probably your life philosophy.
