lost highway

Genial! Merci!

Man, the "Where Do I Begin- Cold Slope-King of You" run (is it a medley if they play the whole songs but with no pauses between?) is just so excellent.

I just wanted to share my joy about this little (hour and a half) surprise that popped up this morning. I loved the Orange one they shared this spring, more hits and barn burners. This Blue one though feels like it was made for me- all the deep cuts, red headed step children and songs that make me jealous when they show up on a set list for a show I didn't see. The fidelity ranges from impressive to just fine.

I agree with all of the above. I'd also say that "Eureka" plays like a slightly lesser "Insignificance" which is just fine for those of us wanting more of that mode of O'Rourke.

I stumbled upon a video of them performing "Quiet Amplifier" at this show. It was outstanding. Also a note for gear nerd corner: Jeff appears to be playing his acoustic guitar through overdrive pedals and amps for this song. I'm guessing here, but I'm assuming it would accomplish the goals of keeping that very delicate fingerpicked portion compressed and loud enough to hear amidst tribal drumming and sheets of sound from the other members, and also it allows him to chime in with a more distressed sounding strummed part for the crescendos. https://www.youtube.com/wa

Great interview. Sweet guy. It's pretty unusual to see that level of musical genius hit a point and lose interest. Sounds like he should do a film podcast!

I got cold feet and held out on the full package. I'm listening to the outtakes on the streaming version and it's making me want to get the rest of the story. I was a little disappointed to see photos of the book and see it's largely 'The Wilco Book' design work repackaged, but I still think I might have to pony up for all the LPs. At times the earlier versions have just a little slop to them that makes me feel like it's what it would sound like if Pavement wrote a Wilco song.

Please share your impressions as they form!

Does anyone happen to know what's on the disc for the new AGIB centered issue of Uncut?

Bless your Norse hearts. You folks are truly remarkable. With love from sunny Colorado (highs this week in the mid 50s).

Merci! Excellent work, sir.

What a blast! I'm jealous. Any data heads keeping track of how many different songs they've played in the last week? Also how have they not dusted off Born Alone?

Oh yeah, from what they said about that process they might be one long track that would stretch uninterrupted longer than an LP side.

I only just realized the deluxe edition comes with LPs AND cds. Is there different material on each or did they just decide someone wanted it all on both?

Oh my friends, I have so many thoughts on this. This is my favorite record.... maybe period. First of all, I'm not crazy. My prediction was premature but they came through! Listening to this first song was really cool. I was a little nonplussed, "Another Handshake Drugs, I already have two. Is this just an extended outro that they trimmed for the album version?". But no, this is completely different. You can tell they loved this song and kept trying it until they got it just right. This version sounds like a demo from a really nice studio. It's loose and free and has to
