As of this Thursday night (Oct 18th) SkyArts.co.uk will be running a competition to win 2 pairs of tickets to each of the four UK dates in November, in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and London Brixton. They're also giving away copies of Sky Blue Sky. http://www.skyarts.co.uk/ You have been warned!

I think the rest is up on the other thread about Berkeley . Hasn't SarahC put it up? If not let me know and I'll put up the rest. Cheers

In A Future Age/Spiders from the webcast. Big files 191 MB WAV. Here's the download link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/dkehwl

Got this from Nonesuch UK today: WILCO EUROPEAN TOUR

I'm assuming this is uncompressed though I'm no technofile. The files are large, average about 40MB WAV files for a 4 min song, actually even bigger than the Troutdale, Oregon show that surfaced via bit torrent (soundboard and audience mix). If what you mean by a matrix is an audience recording mixed with the stream I'm not sure you need it as the crowd are fairly loud in all the right places. Anyone enlighten on files sizes and compression?

Just captured the audio from wilcoworld of Berkeley gig. Its streaming at 1500kbps - very large WAV files - the whole gig has hit my computer at 1.47GB. Previous archives have been nothing like this in terms of file size. How come the increased quality? Its great.

yeah - you were pissed (in the English sense) when you wrote that. nice spelling!

Ahhh, 'Give Me Love, Give Me Peace On Earth' ...... first 7 inch I ever bought, first song I ever truly loved, right down to the Apple on the label. The opening chords and lap steel, (or was it a slide guitar?) melted my then 13 year old heart!

Like many others I had never heard of Bill Fay (I'm from England and nobody here knows or remembers him!) until I heard a soundboard recording of Wilco's show at Hammersmith in London in 2005, a month or two before the Kicking Television shows in Chicago. Bill Fay was apparently in the audience or that's the impression you get from Tweedy's introduction which is actually quite moving, as is the version of the song. I too went out and got his first album which is quite lovely. Imagine then the feeling when Fay turns up onstage at Shepherds Bush Empire in May this year (the first night of the t

Can't say I like Walken much. Just kind of reminds me of Rod Stewart years after he should have packed it in. Feel the same way a little about Hate It Here - a bit Rod , a bit bland, even if its is a decent tune. ps I hate Rod Stewart post 1973

Sounds good. Going to see them at Koko (great venue) in Camden next month.

Hi Have registered for Zomb but am having trouble accessing the file. When I download I get a small 17KB file and then a message when trying to open of windows cannot open this file because it does not know what program created it'. Any clues?

I saw them at Latitude too - thrilled me to bits. Loved them.

Named after the line from 'Theologians', anyone like them? Really recommend the record, been out a couple of months - called 'Thirst For Romance'. They come from Manchester in England (Bolton actually) and are the inspiration of Simon Aldred. Its got that beautiful but gloomy Manchester indie feel with a fair amount of country thrown in. Some lovely tunes. Check it out.

Glastonbury 1997 (or maybe 99) Tweedy walks on stage with the immortal line: 'Hello cocksuckers'. Nice.

Saw Bloc Party at Berkeley at The Greek Theatre last summer - there's a semi circle standing area down at the front that will hold a couple of thousand I reckon. The rest is sitting on the steps in the ampitheatre. Spectacular view of the place it has to be said and you're not too far from the stage but its a big place - holds several thousand. Don't expect much movement even down at the front for Wilco, just lots of head-nodding admiration.

I have it - someone posted it up on sendspace the day after the gig. It should be still here either on this forum or the 'after the show' forum. Cheers

Nothing happening when I click on the link. I have Quicktime. Any ideas?

Hoping someone might be able to help getting a copy of the London shows on May 20/21. Any MP3's doing the rounds? Thanks

Excuse my ignorance on this but how do you download the torrent? Do you need to install a bit-torrent programme first and if so any recommendations? Cheers
