  1. Um. Wow. I didn't come out with a barrage of negativity. I said I downloaded the shows. I said I enjoyed the tapes. I said thanks. Twice, actually. I tape shows too. I know what goes into it, and I really appreciate it, especially when people post stuff with no turnaround time at all, as in this instance - that's where the hard work comes in, I know. So, really, thanks again. So I offered some corrections, and I get a "Fuck You." No thanks. Thanks though, to WilcoMe who obviously got my point.
  2. Thanks again for sharing your work! A couple things though - it is Port Chester, not "Portchester." Outta Mind (Outta Sight), or the "alternate take," has been played before - certainly on the 2010 tour though Wilcobase lists more times. For the Night One recording, NYC Taper called Nels Cline a "touring guitarist." He is very much a bonafide member of the band. Looking forward to checking these out when I get home. I hope night 3's tape is as good as night 2! Thanks again =)
  3. Actually just happened to read an article on the New York Times website that stated the following: "These days, whether an institution streams is often dictated by its union contracts. Contracts written when recording and broadcasting were still lucrative — before they were seen by many organizations as, essentially, marketing tools — still offer high media payments that some presenters say would make streaming too expensive."
  4. So how does that work... can a band record the show for their own internal archive, but just not release it unless they pay the extortion, er, licensing fee? Or do they really need to pay that amount up front just for some in-house guy to hit the record-button on their own gear? Does the venue not even allow bands to make "audience recordings" or does that rule apply to soundboard feeds only? I'm pretty sure that Town Hall in NYC is run the same way. I guess I'm not surprised this happens at larger venues, but I've seen it at smaller, no-name places too. A guy I know couldn't even tape his own
  5. Just tossing out an mp3 link for Ripple, 'til the flood of full show tapes and Roadcase releases come out.
  6. Give Back the Key to My Heart. There's another thread for this show: http://viachicago.org/topic/50352-wilco-103014-capitol-theatre-port-chester-ny/
  7. Yes, the ushers are really nice. The security though, a bit overboard. Stupidly, the venue sell snacks and pizza in the lobby, which you can go in and out of, but they check tickets after the lobby, instead of at the actual front door. I went in and out of the lobby once and got yelled at for not showing my wristband when I returned into the venue/merch area, which everyone has to pass through - I didn't have a wristband because I was sitting upstairs and therefore wasn't given one in the first place. And then the ticket-checker said, angrily, "Who marked your ticket?!?" Uh, the guy who let me
  8. Banter notes: Jeff made fun of one the one guy in GA who was holding up a lighter. If it was the whole crowd it would have been OK, but one lighter is like one sarcastic clap. He chided the fellow on his age - first thinking he was 19 and didn't know better, then 27 and should have known, and then I think the guy said he was 22 - just starting to understand how things work, Jeff suggested. Jeff asked the crowd if we were going to all three nights. The crowd did not respond loudly and Jeff asked why not. Someone said to the effect of "Don't charge so much." Jeff said the band has been around
  9. Article from our local newspaper The Journal News aka "LoHud" in today's print edition http://www.lohud.com/story/entertainment/music/2014/10/21/wilco-capitol-theatre-aniversary-playlists/17630815/ Wilco at The Cap: What to expect; listen to lohud playlistsChristopher Vaughan, Cvaughan2@lohud.com 11:25 a.m. EDT October 23, 2014 (Photo: Zoran Orlic) 24 CONNECT 16 TWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORECompeting against thousands of fellow fans to claim a concert ticket for your favorite band's show before it sells out can be tense. Contending for a seat at a Wilco performance is downright nerve-w
  10. Is there a statement somewhere that it will be pulled off youtube in due time? The jambase link just goes to the youtube link which has already been posted: youtube.com/watch?v=SnLJgiEAiA0
  11. Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La. That's the one solo record of his that I have been playing over and over, for the last decade. Never get tired of it. For Los Lobos, my vote goes to The Town and the City (2006). Road to Gila Bend is one of their best tunes ever, plenty of room for guitar wailing on that one. Little Things is also a real heavy tune.
  12. Slow Love isn't really a sing-a-long-y song though. Something more musically upbeat will do the trick. Give Back the Key to My Heart is the kind of tune I was singing along to last night.
  13. I scored tix at 10am. Didn't see any sold out notations even after I completed my purchase.
  14. I can spend twelve dollars and three zero cents, for print-at-home tickets, and unused letterhead VCers wonder why Wilco still uses Front Gate, but the rest of us don't give a fuck 'Cause we scored tickets from them too, and shipping was just a buck
  15. I agree that the logging out thing is weird, but it happened to me after I bought tix for another show, so I can sorta see that. Not sure why it happened to you before you bought though, As for tix apparently available but not able to purchase, same thing happened to me for another band's presales on ticketmaster, I kept trying, and 45 minutes after on-sale I scored a ticket. Just keep trying until they actually say "sold out."
  16. Why is it FrontGate's fault that demand exceeds supply? On the flip side, shipping is only one dollar, down from 12 dollars! Still can't combine orders though. I got logged out of trying for one show while I got the other.
  17. A Detroit Tigers hat, really? I know that for a while now he has been wearing a black hat with an old-English C (for Chicago, I presume), perhaps that's what it was. EDIT: Oops, didn't see the 2nd page of this topic. Yes, it could well be a CT Tigers hat.
  18. The tapes I have listened to the most: August 01, 1995 Flood Zone Richmond, VA http://www.sooutoftune.org/concerts/481 Nice AM set. December 14, 1996 Melkweg Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://www.sooutoftune.org/concerts/221 Will You Still Love Me tomorrow November 19, 1999 Trocadero Theatre Philadelphia, PA http://www.sooutoftune.org/concerts/553 Pretty close to my first ever show (November 11, 1999, Town Hall, NYC).There is also a very good audience tape of this show. August 12, 2000 Tribune Tower Plaza "Rock the River" Chicago, IL http://www.sooutoftune.org/concerts/54 Great FM Broadcast
  19. I would be happy with just the full 2-CD set of Pete's demos. Don't need the actual album in 55 different versions.
  20. I'm going to interpret "small shows" to be bar-type venues with room for a hundred or two people, max... with "medium shows" represented by the Bowery Ballrooms/Irving Plazas of the world, up to several-thousand seat theaters... And "big shows" as stadium/arenas. Big shows: Pearl Jam - 10/31/09 Last show at the Spectrum - hits, rarities, 1st-time plays.... This show had it all Pearl Jam - 7/19/13 Wrigley Field - monster setlist, some rare stuff, some brand new stuff, and everything in-between, and an epic rain-delay. I might also throw Solid Sound 2013 in there as well, though that might f
  21. The idea of alternating songs with another band kinda kills the sequencing of what songs would be in a "dream set" but since your request didn't state to specifically follow this venue's format, I am gonna go with what'd be cool to hear Wilco do on stage seven songs in a row. Via Chicago I'm Always In Love A Magazine Called Sunset Not For the Seasons Monday Outta Site E: California Stars Candyfloss was a very narrow cut from the number 2 slot.
  22. You can define it however you wish!
  23. Agreed too about I'm Always in Love from the Wilco film. I've always thought the Grant Park FM broadcast from 2001 was the other best version out there: http://www.sooutoftune.org/concerts/568
  24. The question I ask myself is, if my favorite bands were playing two nearby venues the same night, same time, which one would I pick to see? I've had show conflicts for sure but not at the top level. So here's my order in that case. 1. Pearl Jam 2. Soul Asylum 3. Wilco 4. Old 97s or maybe Wilco 3A and Old 97s 3B to be determined by coin-toss.
