i'm liking this way more than Sky Blue Sky already.  as always, it'll be interesting to see how they play the new songs live.  july 8 just seems so far away...

between wilco (the stream), lost season finale, caps game 7, and landing tickets to both the shins and the hold steady, this has been a pretty damn good day.

New one is pretty good, but not nearly as good as Sky Blue Sky.

It's about as good as the new Son Volt album...

I heard the single today and I thought it was terrible. 

"I'm Done with this" (or whatever the lyrics were)

yes I am...

Really?  You didn't?

Wilco on their own would be a big enough draw to eventually sell it out, but throw Conor Oberst in there as opener, and that's a whole different crowd that will show interest in this show.

New DVD, album, album leak, Jay Bennett lawsuit=Wilco in the news a lot recently.

I guess potentially by the day of the show, but nearly two months in advance, a place that holds 6k people, didn't think it would happen. Plus, Wilco isn't the same in a huge venue like that.

Meh, I'm actually surprised it took this long to sell out.  Like I said, Wilco's gotten a lot of publicity lately, musical and otherwise, so it makes sense.  And Conor isn't playing a headlining show in the area, so I'd bet there'll be more than a few people there to see him more than Wilco.

I don't think the venue is too big for them sound-wise.  They'll just tailor the setlist to fit the venue, like they tend to do.

I'm wondering though if we'll get the full set list..I mean 28 songs should take over 2 hours

I mean must show end by 11 or last metro shuttle is by 11 even if show doesn't end???? Unclear on that....

I don't know if Wolf Trap has a curfew, but the time of the last Metro train wouldn't be affected by a concert.  It'll just leave whenever it's supposed to leave, whether the concert's done or not.

11 seems a bit early to be a curfew for Wolf Trap.  But I've only been there a few times.  Does it have one?

I'll call wolftrap tomorrow but this could be a show where taking the metro bus means losing the end of the show.. If Conor Oberst goes on at 8 I don't see Wilco going on until 9 and if they run through 28 songs I just don't see it being done in time for people to get on Metrobus shuttle which is saying 11 at the latest on website..
