July 25 Chicago - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are part of the Free Concert Monday series at Millennium Park on July 25th in case anyone wants to meet up and get Chicago to do it.

I'll be going to meet a friend for her birthday picnic, but I'd love to meet my first real-life FOT. Any other takers? Maybe Ted will visit our blanket?

Any FOT's going to Ted's show on Tuesday at the Fireside? I just snagged a ticket yesterday before they sold out for good.

I tried getting a ticket when I heard there were more available, I was unsuccessful.  I'll probably be going to the free show though.

I will be at the show... I will be handing out fliers for my band's show on 7/29 afterwards.  Look for me on the western exit ramp...
Here's the facebook event for my show. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=133949173352506

IT'd be great to have some FOT come out for the gig.  I'll be handing out fliers after the Fireside Bowl gig and wicker park fest.

For those who got Fireside Bowl Tickets, congrats. I am meeting up with some people I met at Pitchfork on Sunday. Will be on the lookout for FOTs.

I'll be at Millenium Park tonight with my WFMU shirt on and my kids (ages 5 & 3) will be there too.

I'd never heard them play most of the songs on Tyranny so the show was a lot of fun.

Bummed that i missed the Tyranny10 show last night but I'm hopeful that tonight's show will erase that bad taste out of my mouth.

I'm a long-time Ted Leo fan (used to see Chisel at Brownies and The Cooler way back when) but I am not entirely familiar with the Tyranny of Distance album. Can someone tell me what the name of the cover song was that he played? And is that cover song found on the album? I'm stumped. Thanks!

My guess is that TLRx played Split Enz's "Six Months in a Leaky Boat," which is where the album title comes from.  Perhaps someone who actually attended this show can confirm my guess!

A solo Ted cover of the song is on the Tell Balgeary, Balgury Is Dead EP.

The cover from the Fireside show last night?

Are you talking about the solo cover he did fairly early in to the set where he was just sort of dicking around? If so, that was Billy Bragg’s “Between The Wars.”

But if you're talking about during the encore sandwiched between "Timorous Me" and "Little Dawn" it was "Angelfuck" by the Misfits.

This show left me without hearing. It was so loud. These old ears can't take that volume...
