That's really a pity. I think that they are one of the best american bands of the moment.

I'm going with a few friends. I saw them years ago while Jay Bennet was still in the group - it will be interesting to see Nels Cline playing now (saw him with the Geraldine Fibbers years ago too).

Well, I'm new to TT (although lurking about for some time now) and going to the Concert, but alone

Maybe this will be a good chance to get to meet a few of you rather funny people ?

I'm meant to be going: ordered my tickets from eventim.de well over a week ago and the haven't bloody arrived, grr!!! Have tried to get in contact with them a number of times but they haven't got back, grr!! So I'll be turning up with my friends with no bloody tickets, they best be reserved on the door as I've paid for them grr!!!
but I saw them in March at Rock City & they're probably the best band I've seen to date...even if I do get pissed about with tickets...

I'll be there too!! I've had the pleasure of seeing Jeff Tweedy solo several time in Chicago. great, great suff!! (there are some bootleg mp3's out there of some of these shows, search for "Jeff Tweedy Lounge Ax" on your favorite file sharing tool)
I'm going to be sooo homesick after this show...

Fantastic show.
Did anyone catch the name of the new song?
Names being batted around include "Walken" but that's all I've heard so far.

Yeah, it was a great show. Quite different from their earlier albums - I heard a bit of prog rock & even a bit of a zepplin sound. The version of Via Chicago they played was amazing.

Yeah it was good, shame they didn't play "Something in the Air" for an encore...so I managed to get in ok in the end, without the tickets...they saw that I had paid and the booking confirmation etc. and took pity on us...which was nice...
