i'd love to have an .mp3 to break out whenever i want to listen to the original version of this tune and i don't have any pre-2004 boots. thanks in advance. -justin

the Charlotte show is a little bit too far away for me to drive...hopefully they'll add a VA date. -justin

i don't have my cd with me and downloaded it too. are the tracks times different (so i can tell the difference when re-downloading?) -justin

brilliant! -justin

kill myself. -justin

the deluxe edition better fucking be in stores as i'm not bothering with all this pre-order crap. we'll know for sure if both editions show up on amazon.com i guess. -justin

anyone know if the NorVa show (in Norfolk, VA) from 9/17/2004 circulates? it was my first show, but i've been told it may not have been taped or doesn't circulate... -justin

sure the match packs are from the Wilco gas station chain? there's a picture in The Wilco Book of a lighter from the gas station chain sitting on some of their equipment. -justin

close. random word generator on the computer. damn, you're good! -justin

you guys talking about refrigerator magnets needs to think learn about impressionistic lyric-writing. the words are there more for the way they sound and the brief images you get subconsciously than any literal meaning. that being said, he's definitely done this before, "Via Chicago" and "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" being two notable examples. -justin

>although not vocal, i think the best moment on the album is nels entrance on you are my face. incredible. that's Tweedy's guitar on that one though. -justin

totally agree with the "You Are My Face" verse. also: "the streetlights' glow/comes and goes/the sun comes back/as we all can plainly see" from "Side With The Seeds" "i'm this apple/this ha-a-a-penning stone" from "Be Patient With Me" "like giaaannnt beast with many souls" from "Shake It Off" any time he says the word "honestly" in "Leave Me (Like You Found Me)" -justin

also, i bet that Sky Blue Sky loft bonus download is definitely part of what is on the DVD. -justin

hell yeah...i love deluxe editions. honestly, while they are doing this, they should have just made the disc DVD-Audio too for those with set-ups like that. anyway, i'm assuming this edition will be in stores too, so i won't be pre-ordering. -justin

i'm fond of the two Chapel Hill shows from March 2006 and the two Chicago shows from November of the same year. -justin

Bob Dylan - "Love & Theft" Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde or The Bootleg Series, Volume 4: Live 1966 Wilco - Sky Blue Sky The Beatles - Revolver Neil Young - After The Gold Rush -justin

the voice is what it's all about. there isn't anyone who could sing these later-period Dylan songs but him. his voice is perfect. he's proved himself to be one of the finest singers and interpreters of the blues ever. go back and listen to Charley Patton, Robert Johnson or Dock Boggs sing and you might have a different perspective about what is great...and why they (and Dylan's recent work) are considered to be such. -justin

...and in case you missed the couple of other posts that backed that up. -justin (officially with his hopes up).

plus a fully-formed version (different from the one called "Rhythm" on the YHF sessions boot) was released in .mp3 form on Wilco's web site at some point. that's semi-official. a rarities compilation would be great though: Venus Stopped The Train, the b-sides, the two bonus discs...all of that compiled into a no-doubt glorious package by Nonesuch. Jeff, are you listening?? -justin

actually, i think all three of those songs would fit quite easily onto SBS. -justin

>I'm at work so I can't double check. But I do think I recall in the wilcobook with the Mikael write up of the wilcobook cd songs saying that some of them did come from the dbpm sessions... it does. it talks all about the dbpm sessions. some of the songs from the CD are definitely from those sessions. i really don't understand what the confusion is on this matter. -justin

i could almost believe that considering Tweedy made that comment about "Is This The Thanks I Get?" being on the record after SBS... -justin

you don't happen to have the Greensboro, NC 2005 Springsteen solo show do you? i know it circulates, but i can't get my hands on it and i've never seen a torrent... -justin

there are quite a few connections to A Ghost Is Born and Adult Head[i/] obviously, but i'm sure you knew that. -justin
