Fatah Ruark

I foresee many a Wilco set ending with this song. Great stuff.

I think those mics belonged to Stan (I think that's the soundman's name). I know most of the tapers around here and I don't know of anyone else that went.

Anyone have any idea why there was no taping for these shows? Is that normal for Tweedy?

Sure would have been nice to have a copy of that. Really good stuff. Next time I will come prepared for the "no taping" rule.

You the Fatah Ruark from that other board that should remain nameless in order to protect these good folks of ViaChicago?

S'gotta be... I mean, how many Fatah Ruarks could exist out there?

Don't know what board I belong to that should remain nameless...but if it's not me someone's getting a beating! I am the one and only.

That's my name on most boards so...

Can't wait for this.

Success.

"1st" row of Section C (12th row, really).

Can't complain.

Can't hardly wait.

Me too!! See you there.

I was a bit worried about this. Really haven't had an easier purchase in some time. Very nice you can pick your section. The front row of that third tier is where I would sit if I had first dibs.

I sat 26th row, center and loved every second of this fantastic show. I really, really want a copy of this show but have not the slightest idea what to do with torrents or flac or shtn files. I know it's "uncool" amongst tapers but is there any chance someone out there might be willing to set me up with or take a trade for a copy of this show in .mp3 or on audio cds? Please? I'd be happy to trade another Wilco show (I must admit to not having many) or anything from my extremely vast collection of bootlegs from other bands. Contact me via email to lostsailor70@yahoo.com

As a taper, I don't think we (tapers) think it's uncool to ask for snail-mail trades. If you don't have high speed internet, it's totally understandable.

Keep in mind that many of us have jobs, families, etc and we don't all have time to do trades. Also...consider asking the people that downloaded the FLAC's to help you out instead of tapers. We put a large amount of time into getting these recordings out there, and downloaders simply have to click their mouse button (and wait). It's not that I don't want to help you out. For me it's a lack of time, and also the thought that many people that email me asking for copies are simply to lazy to learn Bit Torrent (and for the record I don't necessarily think you're being lazy...but I don't think you're not either).

Bit Torrent is super easy. Don't sell yourself short. There are plenty of Bit Torrent FAQ's out there (Google is your friend for this). Just do a little reading (10 minutes of your life), and you will be in like Flynn. I'm pretty sure once you get going, you will kick yourself for not learning sooner.

So, hopefully, you will take the few minutes to learn Bit Torrent (I have faith in you)...and if not someone else that downloaded the recording can hook a brother (or sister) up.

Glad you guys are enjoying the recordings. And for your continued enjoyment the new COTAPERS website went live today! (and the Red Rocks Wilco show is up there as well...in case you haven't downloaded it yet). Lots of good music on there.
