Since I already started uploading this before I saw the OP already had live versions:

It seems as though you have to register with yousendit now - it's pretty easy, and I still greatly prefer it to sendspace.

Thanks a lot! That's what I was looking for. Much appreciated. Also, very cool, the "Let's Fight" was from the Florence, MA show that my girlfriend and I were at. Jeff tells the crowd that Pat Sansone refers to the drum fill at the beginning of "Misunderstood" as "Pat Boone, Debby Boone, Pat Boone, Debby Boone." How cool is that? Ask and you shall recieve. I love to hear Jeff talking from shows I attended and relive the laughs.

Can someone please post a list of links to the new tunes i.e. "Is that the Thanks I Get?," "On and On," "What Light," "Impossible Germany," "Let's Fight," and "Walken." If not please let me know how to find mp3 versions of them. I only have live versions and am staring to jones for some new material. Thanks all.

Or coming to Columbus?

Glen and Nels will be in Columbus on 9/22. I hope after the 10/20 Latrobe, PA show they come back to the Northeast where they'll be welcomed with open arms. When autumn comes I don't want to sit in my chair and stare at the TV square 'cuz that would just suck. Anyone going to Jeff's solo show in NC tonight enjoy!!

I vote that they finish the record instead of touring. I'd rather see a new tour in support of a record instead of this 890 year AGIB tour.

Has it been 890 years already?

Dammit Kidsmoke. We all want to send you messages. This is number 100 for me. What's my new title gonna be?

Being from CT I have to say that I am not in tune with politics anymore. Lamont ran such a negative campaign and Senator Joe didn't fight hard enough to protect his own integrity. Oh well.

The board may or may not have been down today....depends on your outlook. Are you a glass is half full kind of guy?

These guys sure are:

They were really cool to see in Florence. What a great surprise.

"Runaway Train" is really a kickass tune!

The CSN part sucks. The Y part is cool. Washed up rock stars are funny.

Jerry was a wonderful man. I vividly remember hearing "He's Gone" and "Black Muddy River" and crying for a few days. It was a time when so many heads came together to honor a legend.

I've been playing guitar for 15 years. I can play "California Stars." I recently learned "Spiders" and just sit there and jam for 10 minutes.

Because CDDB is full of inaccuracies.

What the hell is "CDDB?"

Does anyone know why Jeff put this 15 second track of nothing before "Candyfloss" on this record?

OK. I just finished the book and found it, as I said, "OK." I think Kot should have waited a few more years to write this biography. That being said, let's put this thread to sleep.

I was at the Florence, MA show and that guitar looked sweet from where I stood too. A real beauty. Nice shot of Jeff wearing the headband. It was so hot. He didn't abandon his classic sportsjacket, even when it was in the mid 90s and humid. What a trooper. Kickass show too!

I just picked this up yesterday and got half way through it last night. Definitely some interesting background, and I enjoyed some uncle tupelo knowledge I didn't have beforehand, but, er...

 

did anyone else get the feeling that this book was in dire need of an editor? It just seems like on one page you get the most minute detail on what bar some distantly-related band used to play at, and then the next page we're leaping through a season or two of the band's (or band members') development... I don't know, just has a strange feel to it, as though perhaps the book should be about twice as long as it is and better put together.

 

kind of like this post really.

I would sum it up by saying that it's an interesting read for any Wilco fan that wants some good background information. It will not win the Pulitzer and does not flow very well. It clearly needs some editing. I concur that more info about the current lineup would be great, however, in 2004 I don't think all that much info was available as to how the two new chaps would fit into Wilco's fabric.

I have the track 13, you guys don't?

 

ignorant newbie non-completists

 

sheesh

Arrogant veteran snobs

geez

I'm not about to get into a big thing here. For me its about the music, not the bullshit, especially on the eve of seeing the band in Florence tomorrow night. I feel sorry for you because you couldn't give it more than a paragraph before judging it. Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite book?

I only read the first paragraph and thought it was too overly dramatic.

Because of the incredible sarcasm displayed by some of the people that post here, I think you must be kidding. If not, I feel very sorry for you. Anyone with a brain stem would tell you to give a book more than a flippin' paragraph before you judge it. It was a bit dramatic but that is no reason to totally discredit it. What a moron!

wow...how unfortunate.

 

and the setlist is rather boring, except for the new material...

Isn't this roughly the same setlist we see at most shows? Such critics!

I was lucky enough to see Brian conduct his band during the first American tour of Pet Sounds. My father took me (he's the biggest Brian Wilson fan on earth) and the band did the album in order. It was incredible! Underrated, I think not. This is one of the greatest albums of all time.

I'm Just curious what those of you who read this book think about it. I personally feel that it sheds a lot of light on some misunderstood aspects of Jeff's life both on and off the stage/in and out of the studio. A must read for any Wilco fanatic. Jay Farrar is a dickhead!
