AD Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 WowzersWilco to Play "The Complete Wilco" in ChicagoWith all the solo love Jeff Tweedy's been giving his hometown recently, Wilco's recently announced 2008 U.S. tour looked a little strange without a single date in Chicago. The band has remedied that situation, however, with a five-show residency at Chicago's Rivera Theatre, which will kick off the tour in mid-February.According to a press release, the residency is "five shows exploring the band's complete recorded works," and Tweedy had this to say about it: "Over the five nights we will attempt the 'complete Wilco' and try to clear out the dusty corners of the catalog that we haven't attended to in a while."What better way for Wilco to celebrate Sky Blue Sky's Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album (the band's fourth Grammy nod)?Complete dates:01-26 Chicago, IL - Vic Theatre (Jeff Tweedy solo)02-15 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre02-16 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre02-18 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre02-19 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre02-20 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre02-22 Cleveland, OH - Lakewood Civic Auditorium02-23 Philadelphia, PA - Tower Theatre02-24 New Haven, CT - Schubert Theater03-02 Nashville, TN - Ryman Auditorium03-03 Mobile, AL - Mobile Civic Center03-04 New Orleans, LA - Tipitina's03-05 New Orleans, LA - Tipitina's03-07 Houston, TX - Verizon Theater03-08 Tulsa, OK - Cain's Ballroom03-09 Des Moines, IA - Val Air Ballroom03-18 Sydney, Australia - Enmore Theatre03-19 Brisbane, Australia - The Tivoli03-20 Byron Bay, Australia - East Coast Blues Festival03-22 Auckland, New Zealand - New Zealand Festival03-23 Wellington, New Zealand - Front Room03-26 Melbourne, Australia - Palace Theatre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
