Hey folks,
Due to an unexpected family obligation, I will not be able to travel to the Chicago area and attend a couple of shows by Steven Wilson. He is the former front-man and writer behind Porcupine Tree, also a primary member of No-Man and Blackfield, and has many side projects including Bass Communion and I.E.M. He is now recording and touring under his own name (with full band), and his latest album, To The Bone, while his most accessible/poppy material yet, is still very prog-rock-ish. And they play a lot of back catalog stuff too for the concert.
I have two tickets for each night of the Chicago shows at the Vic Theatre, 1 and 2 May 2018. Seats are floors, center section, row P one night and row M the other, IIRC.
I don't think I'll be able to sell them all that successfully - tix are still available (much further back) for both shows, AFAIK.
I have offered them to family that live in the area (we were going to visit them as part of the trip), but they are not interested.
So, I am offering up my e-tickets for these shows to the forum. I don't expect anything in return, and I don't expect you to pay it forward - just hopefully enjoy the show, maybe buy a t-shirt or CD/Blu-ray (his music is awesome in surround sound!).
First two people that can pretty well guarantee they will make either of the shows will get a pair of tickets each. Please specify which date if you are constrained - I will then give the other set to the next person.
Please PM me and then respond here to let others know of the interest. Once I let you know you are in, we can trade email addys, etc.
If only one person shows interest by this time tomorrow, you may get both pairs...
More background, for those interested:
SW has also re-mixed for stereo and surround many classic rock and prog rock albums, including a large part of the King Crimson, Jethro Tull, XTC, and Gentle Giant catalogs, plus a Rush album and tons and tons more.
He's the reason I got into PRS - he played an emerald green CU22 on tour in 2001 or so, and although it took about 12 years, I eventually got my own PRS (emerald green CU24, 10-top, birds).
Of course, now I have a few (cough cough) more PRSi in the collection.
