Gah! Too good to be true. Wellington is pretty bad for suitable venues, hence why good bands hardly ever come here. Seeing Wilco in a too-small-for-them venue would have been a treat. I hope they find an alternative rather than scrap the gig altogether.

This clip made it onto New Zealand's tv3 news, kinda cool. You can watch it here but skip to about 2.17 because a story on the NZ music industry comes before it. Jeff is on for about 3 seconds, the story mainly focused on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Here's the online tutorial I used: http://www.simplehelp.net/2006/08/14/how-t...-using-windows/ It involves using Winamp to convert flac to wav, then using iTunes to convert the wavs to mp3s. There might be a more straightforward way of doing it, but that tutorial was easy to follow for computer illiterates like me.

Thanks so much for doing this!

Yeah the guard was pointing out someone behind my right shoulder too. I think he spent most of the night trying to figure out who was using flash a lot, and eventually singled them out. I was front row in front of Jeff, possibly standing right next to you Carla. And I have a pretty good idea of who/where Froggie was, thanks to Jeff pointing him out!

Nice pics! Yeah, that was him. He never said anything to me but I got the message loud and clear from what he was saying to people around me (which would've included you, considering the angle of our pics )

Finally back home. Sydney show definitely made the trip to Australia worth it. What a way to end the trip. I guess I'm just one of those people who have nothing better to do than follow a rock band round... Here's a few of my photos. They're not very good, but thought I'd share anyway. Note to self: quicker shutter speed when not using flash! Jeff Jeff John Pat Jeff again Nels More Jeff And here's a few (very short) videos. One of the security guards seemed pretty good at knowing when you were holding your camera up for too long to simply be framing a shot... Short clip of I'm The

Amazing show! Haven't had time to read all these comments, internet tmer ticking down and about to catch flight to Sydney. Glad everyone had a great time too! After all the hassle of pre-booking from NZ I ended up with row J (9 rows back). Initial disappointment wore off when I realised how close I seemed when sitting down. Jeff seemed genuinely taken aback to see everyone had standed and moved down the front for the encore. It was nice to move a little closer for the encore songs - and Acuff Rose, my god! See ya in Sydney. Enjoy Melb tonight! (The band walked passed me in a restuar

I'll be at the Sydney show! Looking forward to it being GA Standing, as containing myself in my Melbourne seat is gonna be tough.

I'm glad I'm not the ony kiwi mad enough to be crossing the Tasman to see them Melbourne and Sydney will be my first times ever, too.
-
Definitely. I saw him last month and it was one of the best gigs I've ever seen.
-
I would be all over that 2nd Melbourne show, except I'm flying out to Sydney that night for the Enmore gig. As Alanis would say, that's ironic.
-
I'm not that fussed about taking photos. I'll most likely have my camera with me having spent the day doing the geeky tourist thing, so if they find it, so be it. Anyone know if the Enmore's policy is the same?

When we called to see if they received the fax (sent Monday) they said they don't post tickets to New Zealand, so I have to pick them up from the venue in April. But thanks for the reply, probably just saved me another toll call to Aus.
