  1. Good God! I didn't even know there was a Thursday presale. Where the hell do you go for the regular sale tomorrow (friday)? So far I'm 0 for 2. I'd like to reverse that sad trend.
  2. Ha! What does he think this is, a Living Room show?!?!!
  3. Ahh. I thought you might have talking about UPS getting robbed by scalpers!!
  4. What do you mean with the scalper and UPS?
  5. Me too. Was it a presale of 10 tickets?
  6. How much you want to be that Obama will be at the DC show?? Who knows, but it would be cool. I just checked out the pictures of the place....very nice. And presidential.
  7. How is the stage being set up nowadays? In other words, which way is Bob facing, or where should I sit to be able to see the front of Bob and not his side or back? Last time I saw him a year ago we were on the left side of the hall when facing the stage and the view was great.
  8. You little tease!! Can you give me just a little bit? Just chords, not full tabs? Maybe I’m just a kid Maybe I just don’t fit in I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready I’m ready to go now I don’t wanna go to school But I don’t get to make the rules Too early, too early, too early, too early in the morning Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody Has to do something they don’t want to do Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody Has to be something, oh, why is that true? Maybe I�m not so big Maybe I just don�t fit in I�m ready, I�m ready, I�m ready, I�m ready fo
  9. Does anyone have the chords to "Just A Kid"? I don't know if Wilco ever did it. I have it on a couple Tweedy bootlegs and it's a great song. It might be in here somewhere but the search engine didn't like the fact that all the words were 4 letters or less. Thanks!
  10. I'm trying to learn Pot Kettle Black in standard tuning. Yes, I know it's in Drop D or something but I just want to play it in regular tuning. The verses sound find with but the chorus is giving me problems. Here's what I'm going off of: Chorus 1: Gmaj7 F# G E Gmaj7 Asus4 F# I'm tied in a knot but I'm not gonna get caught calling a pot kettle black E G E G D G D G Every song's a comeback, every moment's a little bit later These are the chords I got from a versi
  11. Wilco allows audio taping. They announce that audio taping is allowed at the start of every show. Bring your gear and don't take no for an answer. If someone tries to shut you down or not let you in, stay calm, hold your ground and ask to see the road manager or someone with the band. You should be able to get your stuff in and tape the show.
  12. I discovered Wilco through bootleg trading, so the first time I heard anything pre YHF was from a live recording. At some point I went back and got all those old albums and I was shocked at how tame they sounded compared to the live versions. My feelings hold true to the rest of them too. I recently went back and listened to YHF and again I was amazed at how "bad" it was compared to the live versions of those songs. So for me, every song is far superior when played live.
  13. Here's to more "An Evening With" shows, less opening bands, and more weirdness like acoustic sets. Hell, I'd love them to do a set of cover tunes or add a few cover tunes every night just to shake things up. Plus, nearly every time they do a cover, I get exposed a great new song or band. I'm counting on these guys to further my musical education!
  14. Yeah, I just listened to his sample of Thank You Friends. To me, it sounds so much better than what I have so far (3-27 and 3-29). The high end comes through loud and clear. I wrote to him for a download, but I haven't heard back yet. Probably out taping.
  15. Here's the specs on nyctaper's recording: An acidjack master recording Recorded and produced by acidjack for nyctaper.com Equipment: DPA 4021 + Beyerdynamic MC950>Edirol R-44 (24/44.1) Position: DFC, directly behind the board, DPA’s at 10′, Beyers at 6.5′ Mastering: 2×24bit/44.1kHz WAV>Audacity (mixdown, EQ, set fades, tracking, amplify channels)>FLAC ( level 8 )
  16. Thanks for the reply. I'll track some of those down. Which version of 3-29 do you have. I have 2 different ones (of the three I've seen) and both sound (to me anyway) like they were recorded from the closet of the venue. Everything sounds muffled and dull. 3-27 sounds better but still seems like someone left the dolby button pressed down. (For you kids out there who have never seen a cassette deck, but have heard of these mythical beasts, if you hit the dolby button it would cut the high end off the play back and I always thought it left the music sounding muffled like you were listeni
  17. I'm looking for a couple great sounding shows from the current tour but so far everything I've downloaded sounded pretty bad. No offense to any tapers out there. I thank you for your efforts. I'm a taper myself, and I know that sometimes in spite of your best efforts, the sound just isn't that good and the tapes don't sound that great. Great mics can't make bad sound sound good. Do any of the recent shows sound really great? Which ones?
  18. Yes! To the "upload" question. No! To the "mp3" question. Upload it in as high quality as you have and let the end user convert it donw if they want to.
  19. Fantastic! Thanks!!! Does anyone else think this sounds like a Pavement song? Wowie Zowie era.
  20. Thanks folks! I also got a PM post chock full of good info, so I'm ready to hit the streets!
  21. At the risk of sounding like a psycho stalker, I'm going to make this post: I have to go to the Belleville, IL area next week for work and I would like to tour some of the old stomping grounds of Tweedy/UT/Wilco. Is something like that even possible? Are there any old stomping grounds to tour? When I read the book, "Learning How To Die" I seem to remember lots of talk about Jeff growing up there and the type of neighborhood he lived in and then later, the house that he and Jay F shared. Does anyone know where any of those places are? No, I'm not looking to knock on Jeff's dad's door (i
  22. Nice! Were you the dude with the big square camera.....about the size and shape of a toaster? Did you have a photo pass? The caption should be "I'm watchin' you"
  23. I went back and listened to the Richmond show and to me, he doesn't seem cranky or mad. In fact, I laughed when I heard his comments. Most of the stuff he says cracks me up. I hear it with a touch of sarcasm in his voice, not real anger.
  24. I saw this too (from up in the balcony). My buddy was down on the floor and said that this guy had a photo pass. If we're talking about the same guy that is. The guy I'm talking about held up a huge square camera and aimed it right at Jeff. Jeff stared down at him and pulled back and fluffed his hair and almost seemed to pose for him. He then said, "I'm watching you" and then when back into the song. Through the whole episode, Jeff looked a little angry or intimidating, but since he didn't have the guy thrown out, I figured he was just playing with a legit photographer. Also, I never r
