    Sitting is for Bill Joel concerts. Get the hell up.
    I'm all in on standing. This happens any time Wilco plays a seated venue. Half the crowd stands from the moment they take the stage, and people sitting down scream and yell. 
    I once saw Jeff Tweedy hilariously tell people they can’t ask others to sit down at a rock show 
    Jeff has a lot of fun with the whole sitting-versus-standing debate. He will usually be funny about it by pretending to be agnostic on the issue, but the subtext is definitely that he likes when people stand. "Don't postpone happiness" sums up his attitude about it.
    Ok, now tell me about a band I've seen 70x's in my own backyard...you know nothing about Jeff or Wilco!
    My friend, I was seeing Wilco likely before you even knew they existed, unless you were the one other fan at some of the shows I saw thirty years ago. Jeff has a record in his jukebox that I gave to him. A month ago, when Jeff forgot the words to "I'll Fight," he looked to me to prompt him for the rest of the song. Jeff and I go WAY back.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    This will be my last comment on this...I had spinal fusion surgery this last December, prior to that I had been living in ridiculous pain for 17 years. Last September PJ played one of their best shows ever at the UC and I was there w/ my son who watched me struggle the whole night! I stood the whole main set and sat until the encore started. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I could do that at 58 certainly whole sections sitting comparatively is a problem. Lastly, If you were there and think it was the best show and the best crowd then I am sincerely happy for you!😎
    Ha! As soon as I read this I started laughing because I knew Vito could not make that his last comment!
    The dude has an ego the size of Lake Superior!
    How bizarre is the need to show everyone constantly that you are more knowledgeable than anyone else even if you weren’t in attendance?

    Vito your opinion is just that, nothing more. Not important at all. Just a single opinion from some overly argumentative, self absorbed, rude PJ fan.
    The board would be better off for everyone if you would just state your opinion and move on without trying to prove your opinion is above others and arguing with others who don’t agree. 

    As far as the topic, I’d prefer people standing but not everyone can do it all show. Have some compassion for others, it’s not all about you. I wasn’t there night 1 but night 2 I was standing all show in 226. Most of the arena was standing for the whole show but there were people around me that would sit once in a while. The guy next to me was around 60 and said he had a bad back and was standing for about half the songs. SoCal shows don’t always have great audiences but I thought the energy was awesome night 2!

    In all of my concert experiences, nothing beats a Philly crowd.  LA1 came close to that energy level, but LA2 fell short and it seemed like LA2 had many more casuals, at least where I was mid-floor.  At LA2, many people I spoke to hadn't heard the new album at all, and so that explains the statues during Waiting for Stevie.

    I'm extra motivated now to make the trip to Philly for those shows.  The genuine excitement from the crowd really amps the band up, and I love seeing the band get excited from our energy and they always deliver back an epic performance.  I highly recommend checking out a Philly show if you have the chance, as the crowd energy makes for a unique experience.  Just wish other crowds in other cities could muster up some more energy and excitement.
    I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh I'm spinning

    THIS! 

    Although where I was located (Mike’s side N1 and Eddie N2) there was no shortage of energy. And I rarely turned to see what everyone else behind me was doing. Definitely would love to check out a Philly show, though. Their crowds in general, sports, etc tend to lean on the raucous side which is always a plus.

    I guess no one wants to talk about the bootleg? 
    Everyone jumped on the slightly annoying screamer in Portland, but no one cares about the super annoying Evolution screamer on this bootleg? 
    Generally turned out to be one of the weaker bootlegs (weird setlist flow, the legendary mood drop after Wreckage into Got some), despite the fans sounding great (not as loud as the fans in Vegas or Vancouver however).

    I bought the bootleg, but haven't had a chance to listen yet.
    I was at the show, and thought it was great. We'll see if that holds after a few listens. But I don't see it diminishing the experience I had.

    Just picked it up, I was also there and was in rare form all night up in the 200s. Only through Come Back so far and the outro on it was top notch. Haven't heard the screamer yet :)

    Upper Hand is tremendous live. Waiting For Stevie has more teeth live and I loved the subtle Outshined bit at the end. The screamer is more funny to me than anything, just picturing that guy blacked out  =)
