Better than a box set: Wilco to do it live

Wilco will play a five-night residency at the Riviera Theatre in February in which it promises to play every song the band has recorded.
Wilco's career covers six studio albums, including last year's "Sky Blue Sky," and two "Mermaid Avenue" collaborations with Billy Bragg on the lyrics of Woody Guthrie.
"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," singer Jeff Tweedy said Monday in a statement. The shows will be Feb. 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20. Each set will be different.
Tickets ($35 plus service fees) go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday through Ticketmaster.

SOOOOO
$35+approx $5 service fees= $40 x 5 nights= $200, a little more than a festival pass.
plus I can stay with my aunt and uncle for free.
and I'd only miss two days of class.
Is it bad that I'm slowly rationalizing this?
