I definitely wouldn't bring a kid if "show asshole" was part of the deal.

Well it was a seated show but if people want to stand what are you going to do?

Sorry for your woes

If you have a bad foot and can’t stand you have an ADA need…next time say something on way in or even better call ahead so that arrangements can be made

If you took all the show related complaints that have ever been made and put them on a Bingo card, my Bingo card was pretty full yesterday and last night.

But too much whining is never a good look, so I'll keep it too a minimum and instead focus on making an apology. I apologize to the kind, gentle animal that I compared a certain beast to last night. At least I'm a vegetarian.

Furthermore, I'd also like to apologize to all of the female dogs I insulted (in my mind) every time the Academy Award winning cinematographer directly in front of me held her camera over her head to film songs, obstructing my view from my standing room only chair that I was wedged into and couldn't maneuver around like I could if I were at a *real* standing club show.

And finally, I'd like to apologize to all of the penises in the world who I insulted (again, in my mind) every time (at least every other song) the (award winning at least in his mama's eyes) Richard two rows in front of me raised his  camera aloft, also blocking my view. I hope Jeff Tweedy's "ugly" but loveable mug didn't break your camera!

In summary, I love cows, female dogs, and penises. My apologies to them for my negativity.

As far as the show goes, I apologize for my pre-show arguing to the naysayers who complain about Wilco playing the same old deep-cuts-free setlist and topping it off with a smattering of boring new songs…you naysayers are so wise, and I was so naively dumb to hope for much otherwise. Sorry!!!

Hutch (I think I saw you out of the corner of my eye as we made our post-show, beating the Nats' traffic, getting home so we could all get up at 6am escape…sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi, next time I swear!) was spot on when he said they sounded great…it's like the Wilco machine has practiced these songs to a tight knit science (miss you, sloppy Jay Bennett). When Jeff said "We're not going to do much chit chat, we've got a lot of songs to get through." my heart sunk because the chit chat is really the only spontaneity in their show, especially when "a lot of songs to get through" is the alternative. Hey, at least they didn't do "Heavy Metal Drummer."

On a positive note, my other half enjoyed the show (and didn't fall asleep, which is harder when you're standing in front of your chair instead of sitting in it!) And I made it to the car to hear the Nats win the pennant. So it was not a total loss!

It really just depends on the party.

75. I enjoyed Wilco at the Anthem.
Bought a seat in Row X yesterday.
Walked in as Soccer Mommy was starting. No one was sitting at the end of the 3rd row, so I sat there and saw their whole set. They are a fun band in a tough spot opening for Wilco in a 1/4 full large hall.
Between sets I checked into my seat in the middle of Row X which seemed okay. I then acquired a vegan hot dog (no chili) and while I was eating it I randomly met up with some folks that go to a lot of Wilco shows and Baltimore house shows. They had upgraded their seats to front row.
Once Wilco started, I went back to my Soccer Mommy seat in 3rd row at the end Stage Right.
No one ever came to claim it.
Was next to a lady in a full mirrorball reflective dress who seemed cool and very drunk.
At that spot I could stand adjacent to my seat and not block anyone's view other than other standing folks who slowly accumulated behind me in that area, and the mirrored gal danced next to me and occasionally we high-fived.
Mid Wilco set I moved up to Row B closer to center stage which had been empty for the whole show and sat for some of the slower songs. Then near the end of the main set I stood at the stage with the folks I knew and enjoyed Nels shredding a few feet away.  Lingered a few minutes after the show, then quickly got back to the car.
As I drove away on he highway, I listened the Nats punch their ticket and saw the fireworks over the stadium.
Great show, great night. I have some cool close up video (but didn't block anyone's view in obtaining it).
Bought the poster.
I feel for Spaceman, I too would have been miserable wedged into the middle of Row X.
This should have been a standing room show.

I should have been with Challenged!

Anyone know why it was a seated show? My guess is the band wanted it that way cause of the slow new album but I don’t know

I had seats on 2nd floor but didn’t even check them out…hung out by bar stage right on floor…fine view but I guess I could have done better….I had not seen then in seven years so set list was perfect particularly the Being There encore

Weird night though with Nats playing…scoring 7 in first helped…caught last three outs at Brighton next door…so happy

Loved hearing "Don't Forget the Flowers".  New stuff sounded great - "We Were Lucky" will probably become a staple. HMD's absence was a surprise.  The encore rocked, but I was expecting "I'm a Wheel" to end it.  All in all a great show.  Front row Tier A is a good perch - as usual could do without all the talking during the quieter tunes.  And being billed by Rooam for somebody else's order.

Best/Worst crowd banter during the quiet songs was the dudes behind me one of whom had never heard a single song from Wilco before saying "how did I miss this for so long,  this is like the Grateful Dead," and his buddy was like, "no….this is way better than that nonsense…."

Great Bon Iver show last night.  Bruce Hornsby showed up for a couple numbers including a Bonnie Raitt tune. Baltimore's own Jenn Wasner seemed to be loving her role in the band.  The usual Vernon-adoring crowd.  Cue the haters…

How was the light show? Remember a video getting posted a while back covering the incredible stage design they were taking on the road. His last show at the Anthem was him alone on stage in front of a black backdrop.
