There are some very coveted tickets in town tonight, and if you're lucky enough to have snagged Wilco tickets, you're certainly in for a treat at Copley Symphony Hall. The band's eighth LP, The Whole Love, was released in 2011 and was hovering around the top of plenty of year-end Best of 2011 lists. It's been at least a few years since the full band has performed in San Diego, which explains how tickets were swallowed up so quickly when the show was announced. If you don't have tickets, you can always try the box office the day of the show to see if any "production holds" were released. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes you can get lucky.
