Madcap

Am I reading that correctly that there’s a 2005 live version of IATTBYH on this?

Looks like my 50th Wilco show (and 80th Wilco/Tweedy show) will be that Sunday night Riv show.

Can only hit up 3/23 and 3/26 since I’m seeing Neal Francis on the 24th but I’ll take it. I just wish these shows were at literally any other venue than the Riv.  Anyone have any suggestions for parking in the area that’s safe/easy?  It’ll have been 6 years I think since I’ve last been and first since I’ve moved out of the city so I’ll need to drive.

So when will they do a CC show in Chicago that more than 100 people can go to??

Mine just showed up too.  First inspection shows a scratch on one of the records, which sucks. Hopefully listening doesn’t reveal any other flaws.

Just got my shipping notice from bandcamp 

I’m in the same boat and very, very annoyed.  

I’m going to be so bummed if the CC tour doesn’t hit Chicago for some reason.

If I were there, I would have been pretty annoyed that they repeated 7 CC songs since they just played the entire album the night before. That’s got to be the first time they’ve repeated songs at SS right?  Seems so strange to me.

Hoping for a Chicago or Milwaukee date before Madison, but I’m guessing that’s wishful thinking (pun absolutely intended).

I really like that one, much more than the first track.

I'm confused about that. I will definitely want some physical version of the album. I don't want to have to pay twice. There should be some sort of credit if you purchase the pre-sale digital download but there is nothing to that effect on the website

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking about that would be nice.  I don't care if I have to wait for a while for the vinyl, but at least let me pre-order it off bandcamp or something so I get the download.

So if I want to buy a vinyl copy I'm going to have to essentially purchase the album twice (digital and LP) unless I just wait until the actual record comes out?  Lame.

First couple of listens and I'm not loving it, but OTJ was a major grower for me.  Hoping the album is more varied than this.

Oh hell yes bring it on.

One of the best Wilco shows I’ve seen in ages.  YHF was such a formative album for me that I listened to so much back in the day it’s kind of easy to take for granted how damn good it is since I don’t listen to it that much anymore, but when I listen to it (or see it performed live) I’m quickly reminded that it is an absolutely incredible album.  I hope that if they end up releasing a recording of these shows that they include the encore too because holy hell that was amazing too.  The best versions of Pieholden and The Good Part I’ve ever heard (small sample size admittedly).  I also can’t say enough about the horns and the strings, which added so much to the songs throughout.  Just incredible.  Can’t wait to see it again on Sunday!

It’s possible that this got lost in the YHF madness today, but the Alternate Take 7 inch is up in the store: I’m The Man Who Loves You/War On War. 

Very cool.  Although I am assuming these tracks will be on one of the 11 LPs in the reissue set?

Still available on their bandcamp (I was going to wait a but pulled the trigger just in case it sells out there too.)

I have the engineer demos and the other set of demos that was floating around, but reading that Hoffman forum track by track breakdown gets me really excited for all of the other stuff that's on here that likely hasn't seen the light of day.

Yeah the XRT stuff being on the cd for the 11 record set is bizarre.  It’s the thing I’m least interested in, but I don’t understand it at all.

11 LPs is completely overwhelming, but I just don't see how I don't order this.  

11 LPs 

I totally get the disappointment and I’m glad they started in New York and not Chicago so I have time to manage my expectations, but holy hell do I hope they play Pieholden Suite at the Chicago shows!!

Pieholden Suite!

What a week, what a band.
