I downloaded this show. It is the same person who captured the FIB07 show and all of his torrents are small and have no menus or proper chaptering (every 5min). You never even know the setlist until you've watched it. The quality is fine and it's better than nothing. But it also has Spanish subtitles. which are burned in.

i'm having problems downloading this torrent, it says it can't connect to any seeders. any suggestions?
-
the video screens were just a few static angles from the lip of the stage. They focused mainly on Jeff and Cline.

great show, soaking wet as well. Spiders was amazing, the clapping, the stopping, and then the end. jeff was humorous. the rain was freezing, but still an amazing show. Also a really amazing performance of I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.
-
well, we'll cross our fingers for the whole drive. I hope everyone has a great time at the show! hats off!

thanks for your excellent input, I guess i'll just trust that you know exactly what you are talking about.

Just a concern of mine, I live in Auburn, about two hours away and I am worried about the weather for tonight's show in Atlanta. The weather channel is saying thunderstorms, and if so, will the band still play? I know they'd play in rain, but it looks pretty awful and the conditions seem like they'd be unsafe. Does anyone know if the venue would close if it was real bad?

I love Misunderstood opening Kicking Television and Being There, but I have been to two shows where it was used to close the set, and I actually think I prefer it that way... What do you guys think?

Kid A (2OOO) - Amnesiac (2001) - Hail to the Thief (2003) I think that Kid A as a response to Ok Computer is a great definition on Thom's view of music. Radiohead's quick acceptence and universal highlight didn't help someone like Thom Yorke cope with stardom (something he didn't want). The same can't be said for Wilco. The Yankee Hotel Foxtrot debacle is one thing, but Wilco still hasn't had to deal with huge expectations or stardom...

I read in an interview that Jeff prefers the vinyl of A Ghost is Born, as its seperated in four parts, his original intention. http://www.filter-mag.com/index.php?c=2&lid=46 luckily, I got my A Ghost is Born vinyl at his last solo show and was able to have it autographed!

Sorry for sounding hasty, I just feel like I am being ignored. I seriously don't wish any ill feelings towards the original poster. But, no one should discuss the merits of a statement that was never made, thats all. This makes "that person" or "me" look like an idiot.
-
do most of these videos exist? I wouldn't mind (along with every Wilco fan) making a DVD of these. The footage is not very good though, you can tell why they scrapped it.
-
I never said that, actually no one ever said that. Fuck the original poster for his ability to not be able to read a thread and start this.
-
Fuck, I wrote that original statement. Please be kind to read the entire article, as I was defending Jeff Tweedy.... someone state the intention of Summerteeth was to sound "fake and plastic" and then I said.. sorry, I hate being quoted out of context, but I think that statement of Summerteeth's purpose of sounding "fake" and "platic" stupid and without merit. IMO.

I'm hoping most of my quibbles will be fixed when the cd is released, such as the Glenn issue.

Any lyrics on the new album in particular stand out to you?
Matt R. replied to magusmachine's topic in Just A Fan
Amen. I have grown to be a fan of On & On & On, although having found the lyrics schmaltzy at first. Particularly.... Please don -
Your welcome. The album is just a few notches below "perfect" in my opinion. I consider A Ghost is Born and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot "perfect" albums. What I really like about this album is the closeness of Tweedy's voice. I know some might note his limitations in singing, but personally, I like his intimate feel. I can go listen to many other band's with soaring voices and not feel the personality the way I can with Wilco. Also, being a huge fan and knowing the band's history also enables me to enjoy more of the catalog. They have such a sprawling past, and I just think it helps to know the

Very sincere review. I hope more people see Sky Blue Sky in this light (a really diverse and lovely album from a masterful band).
-
A Ghost is Born is my favorite. Any of them could be my second favorite on any given day. If I had to choose, Being There is their second best effort.
-
Can you go ahead and donate money to the Doctors without Borders fund? Or does someone organize a cumulative effort so we can possibly present it to the band to show our appreciation?

Can someone might send me an invitation code? rasbumr@auburn.edu I would greatly appreciate it.
