is anyone capturing this?

Yep

Alright...so far so good. Had to fire up the laptop for messaging. Recording this via Adobe Audition...beautiful sound so far (at least as far as I can tell through the crappy computer speakers).

Impossible Germany just started...like smooth venom.

Refreshmented and ready, I am.

PLAYER'S UP!!!

mmmm... we'll never know when songs were actually written...but YHF was recorded in 2000 and early 2001. I recall going to my local record store in the summer of 2001 (yes... my five year old (soon to be six) was a few months old at that time) and I heard that the then new Wilco record was delayed (i.e., the Reprise fiasco happened). I'd imagine that JT and the band kept writing and working on songs throughout all that - especially after Bennett left in the summer of 2001.

 

I saw Spiders performed in Bloomington, IN about two weeks before YHF was released (spring 2002). It sounded nothing like the krautrock version we now know. JT's guitar was drenched in reverb. Aside form Spiders, I don't recall hearing any AGIB songs (solo or w/ the band) before then. I could be mistaken.

Out of curiosity, where in Bloomington did they play? I'm there now, and I was there about a year before that show.

Wow, thanks...I'd never seen any of these before! Primo stuff. That Outta Mind (Outta site) is pretty awesome. And, strangely, mis-labeled.

Wow...excellent stuff. Managed to find them in the google blog search, and I'm enjoying all three immensely.

I will say this regarding the mastered/unmastered thing --- as a recording artist myself, they don't sound mastered to me. Honestly, they don't even sound completely mixed. That could very well BE the final mix, but certain elements are a bit too "out front" for me to believe that this is the final version. JMHO.

But honestly, I'll take new Wilco studio material in any form it's presented to me.
