I don't think it's just you. I've got this streaming on a couple of devices and it's choppy on both. Still a treat to hear, though.

That's really strange. It must be WRHC's uplink to tunein.

edit: I'll at least try to salvage the complete songs from the broadcast.

Hope someone is able to record.

I'm recording it. It's really quiet, I'll try to fix it in post. Any idea how I should share it when I get to that point?

Edit: shoot! My streaming device just had to buffer.

If you missed the Jeff Tweedy benefit concert for Ibrahim Parlak on Friday Feb 26 at the Acorn Theater in Three Oaks, you can hear it re-broadcast TOMORROW: Friday, March 11 from 6:30-8PM EDT at Radio Harbor Country in Three Oaks, MI. Stream the show at http://radioharborcountry.org OR use the Tune-In app: http://tunein.com/: (search for 'WRHC Radio Harbor Country).'

I'm going to try recording it. If anyone would be interested, I can provide the .wav file somehow (suggestions on that?).

Edit: I'm not getting their stream to work on TuneIn (android), iTunes, or their web player. Anyone else?

It'll take me a little while to get a full recap together, and I'll never be able to fully capture all of Jeff's very amusing forays around Banter Corner, but suffice it to say that it was a treat to be able to witness this intimate 75-minute performance in the cozy Acorn Theater. This was, as Jeff himself remarked at one point, "maybe the closest I've ever played to a bed that I owned," so it was especially nice to see how invested he was in a performance in front of many members of one of his adopted communities and that directly benefited a member of said community (namely Ibrahim Parlak, a local restaurant owner who is a Kurd from Turkey and faces what many see as an unjust deportation back there).

For now, here was the complete setlist as played (Jeff's handwritten setlist appeared to also have Ashes Of American Flags and The Late Greats on it, but neither were played; meanwhile, Normal American Kids was not on the setlist but was played):

 

Misunderstood

Be Not So Fearful [bill Fay]

Lost Love

new song-Normal American Kids (second time played?)

Hummingbird

We've Been Had

Via Chicago (with harmonica)

Jesus, etc.

Born Alone

I'm The Man Who Loves You

A Shot in the Arm

What an accurate write-up! Thanks for putting words to the evening, as well as sharing the setlist. I didn't know he had a house in Harbert...that means it's possible he's heard me on the NPR station that covers north central Indiana and SW Michigan. I'm also willing to say he fulfilled my "Passenger Side" request I made on Twitter...my birthday was the 28th.

My wife and I were numbers five and six in the line to get in and we immediately made our way to front row center. I was not expecting that. It was amazing being that close, watching his fingers move up and down the fretboard and the different methods he used on the strings, as well as seeing his facial expressions - could've sworn he was staring at my wife...can't blame him! He is such a showman (surprising no one here). I don't think I have too much more to add. The busted strap was hilarious. After he threw it down, it was a little close to the front of the stage and he told the guy immediately in front of it, "Don't touch it, that's mine!" Then a few songs later when he used the repaired strap, he dutifully checked it before letting it hang.

Again, thanks for the write-up. How many went over to Journeyman after and spent far too much on whiskey? This guy did...

Soon, complete with some outstanding art done by "creativetype" with those kick ass photos of his that have been seen here. This may be the first fan compiled package that has a photo credit from a band member.

 

I kind of like to have some fresh ears listen and proof the recording before it's shared in mass, and that's being done now.

Chill out you have still have the memory.

Hey thanks for the update. Sorry to sound anxious, but I guess I'm just used to the DMB tapers that have the show out the next day...just glad to know that it'll be here soon!

Does anybody know when this show will be out?

When we were waiting for the show to start, I heard someone say "Is anyone here actually from Wichita?"

I'm not from Wichita, but I am from Kansas....

You catch on pretty fast around here for a newbie

Thats what I'v been doin' this evening... working on it.

it took me until today to recoup enough from the 16 hour 800 mile RT i made to capture it on Sunday and real job duties waiting on Monday.

Can we get a status on the recording?

Good shots. I'm writing a review of the show for my college paper--do you mind if I use one or two of the shots?

Jono! How come we didn't meet up at the concert? I totally forgot you were going ot be there. Where was your vantage point? We were six back, dead center for the amazing show. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the night.

Wow! I'm so glad Wilco did a show so close to me! Hopefully they saw that they got a wonderful crowd in a 'smallish' town. More thoughts later.

I kinda like the indy scene. There has got to be some place out of the reach of corporate america we could dine and wine...

 

i'm making the drive up I35

I'll do some checking.

If anybody needs any info about Wichita, I know it pretty well. I've been to a lot of the other concert venues but never the Cotillion so it'll be a first for me. There'll probably be a group of us hitting up Hooter's before the show unless there's another suggestion.

Well? Who's going?
