Belgium ! yeeehaaa !

The band playing at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels = my backyard .

Wilco must love my tiny country : 3 gigs in 2007, 2 in 2009 (so far ).

Sam

Hi,

As my girlfriend can't get leave from work, I'm left with an extra ticket for the London show.

I posted a message to the "Got Extras" part of the forum.

Contact me if you're still interested.

1 extra ticket for the London show.

The Troxy, London, UK (Standing) Tue 25th Aug 2009.

£31.25 (face value including fees) + shipping to your place.

Try playing that A* as x02410. I think it sounds a little more accurate to what Jeff is playing.

That sound's accurate.

Check out that video :

...after Jeff's comments in the latest issue of Uncut...

What comments ?

Are you effing serious dude?

Phew...for a moment I thought that some might take this seriously

It's now been two weeks and nobody's yet posted Jeff's Dylan cover he played at his son's Bar Mitzvah.

C'mon tapers !

...at least you don't feel like walking into a gigantic open air museum.

That reminds me of that story my sister in law told me recently after she's been in Brugge :

Two American tourists visiting Brugge asked her about the city closing time...like it were some kind of fake Disney entertainment park ... !

Samuel

They anncounced that like a month ago.

Correct, but the festival is 4 days and they did not disclose the exact date until today.

And Wilcoworld still haven't this show listed as of yet.

Wilco will be playing at the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium on 20 Aug 2009.

Not sure this is of high interest to many of you here, oh well .

I'll be there anyway .

Sam

Got a pair of tickets too

Nice opportunity for me to cross the channel.

Wilco will be playing at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium next June .

They do not mention on which day yet, the festival takes place on 20, 21, 22 August '09.

It's not on the band's website yet. Hope it'll be official soon.

Samuel

Does anyone know whether the dvd is region 0 or else ?

I'd like to pre-order it but I have to make sure it'll play on my European region 2 DVD player;

Samuel

sometimes i cant even listen to studio versions of some songs because the live ones are so much better.

You're absolutely right.

One example, My Morning Jacket's Okonokos....can't listen to the studio versions after listening to this masterpiece.

Doing That

Just when I thought I'd wean off music for 3 weeks in Nepal....

(Picture taken in Kathmandu last November)

I'm not sure it has been posted before or that it's kind of relevant here...anyway :

....for some reason I am able to open all the files off owl and bear without having a bit torrent...

Of course you don't need bit torrent to dowload files from the Owl/Bear, they're just regular music files like any other

you can download from any website, like mp3 (though in this case they're in flac format).

Bit torrent principle is live file sharing among peers. No peer, no download. Lots of peers, fast download (theoretically).

On the Owl/Bear anyone can download any file any time, they're just there, help yourself

I know it might not be 100% clear, so you can read more on : http://wtata.com/faq/

Samuel

Analogman, your patience and dedication regarding the dowload/torrent/flac questions are truly amazing .

Keep it up.

Sam

In case it's not been posted before I found that the whole video rip of Wilco show is available at the Brooklyn Vegan blog :

Enjoy.

S.

I have never seen this show listed anywhere - must not have been taped.

It has been recorded, for sure. And by one of the board's finest taper (hello...MKHstudio !).

We attended both Gent and Amsterdam shows with him, Miss L., Bebop and my girlfriend.

I confirm the gear and the rig next to Stan's sbd.

(We also had a pint of dutch lager all together with Stan in the city center after the gig .)

Now, I don't know what happened to the recording, but I'm not willing to hassle Warner about it.

I guess he'll release it whenever he feels like it.

Samuel

Why meddle with perfection? If there are extra tracks from the sessions, give them away or stick them on iTunes...

Alex

Yeah, I know.

Hope they just concentrate on the sound remastering (who cares about the package and we all have the studio leftovers).

I'm just curious to compare with the original version tough.

Just read this on http://www.albumvote.co.uk/news/article.aspx?headline=324

Warner Brothers are to release a re-mastered version of Metallica's classic 1985 album 'Master of Puppets'. Hitting the shops on June 30, the packages will contain a standard LP release and a double deluxe edition. Another album getting a quick makeover is Wilco's 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' which will be out with the extra trimmings on June 23.

Pretty good Metallica news I must say

Samuel

he says this every time.

Plenty of bands say that every time. And to my experience that's not a good sign.

Damn ! I started this thread about 6 days ago and it's now 20 pages

Though I'm not even bothered to read any post.

Anyone willing to summarize the whole thread ?

(Joking)
