Nice! Glad it worked out. Link seems to be entirely gone now.

Anybody able to get Portland tix? F5'd from 9:55 until the "Purchase" button popped up. Never an option on the drop-down to buy more than one ticket, despite the "4 tickets max" message, and every single time, from 9:59 on, I got a message saying "We were not able to find any tickets in that section." Either they sold out before 10am or the page is just borked. Just wondering if anyone else had better luck.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've finally added the recent Terminal 5 Roadcase show to my Mediafire folder of Roadcase rips. The folder contains ONLY the shows that Wilco has posted to the Roadcase for free over the last few years, NOT the new Roadcase series that they're selling. There are a few rips of other shows that I judged as being "free" in the same sense (e.g. the Letterman Live performance audio), but, as always, let me know if any of this content shouldn't be freely available and I'll take it down right away. Just wanted to share, as this show is particularly awesome.

Hi all, I wanted to let everyone know that I've reorganized the various Roadcase rips that I've been posting over the last few years in a way that makes them easier to download while adding a few new rips (ACL, Live on Letterman, etc.) and fixing a few specific tracks that had errors (which various members kindly messaged me about). These are all of the Roadcase shows that I've recorded, ripped straight from either Wilcoworld.net or the band's Facebook page and compressed to 192kpbs mp3 (likely equal to or less than the level of compression of the streams themselves). I also ripped the rec

i know someone already got to at least one of these, but in case anyone is still looking for them, i ripped both in 192kbps CBR mp3. here's the link to the whole collection, and you can pick out the individual folders from there.

A few of you requested rips of these, so here they are: Live on Letterman (audio only): http://www.mediafire.com/?58n49i23pgzrt 2011.09.18 (from Wilco's band page on Facebook): http://www.mediafire.com/?sulhkiddzwr27 Assuming these are still okay to post; mods, let me know and/or delete the thread if that's not the case.

There's a new show up in the roadcase, the Seattle show from last year, which I was actually at. It was a good one. I've got a stream rip up here, for those interested. Mods: as always, if it's become verboten to post stream rips from the roadcase since I last asked, please delete this topic.

In case you missed this in all the TWL excitement and/or disappointment, there a new show up in the roadcase. I've only really listened to the first half, but it's a good one. I've got a stream rip up here, for those interested. Mods: as always, if it's become verboten to post stream rips from the roadcase since I last asked, please delete this topic.

as annoying as the whole multi-package presale thing is (and $17 to ship a record to washington state is insane, amazon does it regularly with hard cardboard packaging for 3-4 bucks), i think it's probably less wilco getting up to "usual" record-company games and more just an acknowledgment of the reality of today's music business. most fans (though probably not most of us on this board) are going to buy music in general (and wilco music in particular) in digital format. wilco seems to be acknowledging this by making ALL the bonus tracks available through iTunes with an album purchase. if you'

thanks for the suggestions on a better uploading strategy. i may look into re-upping these shows in a different format later (maybe on mediafire but as zip files for each separate set?), but right now to be honest i can't really take the time. if i do move them to a more download-friendly system later, though, i'll be sure to let you all know

okay, i got the four new roadcase shows uploaded, finally. everything's in CBR 256kbps mp3, and should be correctly tagged and all that jazz. they're all available in my mediafire folder, here, along with four of the older roadcase shows, in case you don't already have those. mediafire is by far my favorite uploading service, but unfortunately, you have to download each track separately, as they don't allow large (+200MB files) without a paid account. i tried zipping up each of the shows into one file, but all but the tweedy one was over 200MB. i tagged and tracked these shows really q

got all four shows ripped, and tracked one, only to find that using "export selection" in audacity introduces some weird overlapping effect between tracks. found a different way to cut the tracks up this morning, but i'm hoping to be off on a mountain climbing trip tomorrow if the weather clears up. either way, though, i should have these up by the end of the week. i'll post here when i finish them.

okay, i'm actually ripping all four of these after all. it might take a bit to track each show and tag the mp3s, but i'll try to have them up later this week

i've ripped roadcase streams and posted them on here before, and it's always been okay, so i'd imagine it's still fine.

yeah...i know that often "the vinyl sounds better" is code for "i'm cooler than you because i listen to records", but i just got the WTA vinyl yesterday and before then i would have absolutely agreed with everyone who says the album is "pretty good". but after listening to the vinyl, i've been converted; this album is just as good (if a bit less unique) than any wilco album, for me. tweedy himself, i think, described it as a sort of "greatest hits" album, and that disappoints me a bit...i think if you're a huge wilco fan, you want another weird, exploratory album more than a greatest hits so

Oh, if anyone missed the Paradiso or Vicar Street webstream downloads awhile back, I still have them up here and here. I'm not planning on rerecording either show right away; I relistened to both shows last night and the few glitches between songs that I could hear aren't really bad enough to make me want to redo both shows entirely. However, if anyone else wants to take the trouble, here's what I've been doing to get these last few streams: 1. Download Audacity (free). 2. Run Audacity and go to Edit > Preferences > Recording. 3. Set your recording device to "Stereo Mix" (this m

Okay, here's the Tweedy show. Same as the Wilco show...a few of the song transitions might be a little awkward, but I did the best I could with them without taking the time to rerecord and retrack the entire show. Also, as mentioned in the recording notes, I boosted the volume of "Acuff-Rose" to compensate for the lack of PA, but with the volume boosting came a fair amount of distortion, so I've also included the original, unboosted version. You can hear the unboosted version okay, you just have to pump your volume way up, and that means the crowd cheering at the end of the song is about 50

The link is working okay for me, and it looks like a lot of others have already downloaded it...not sure what could be wrong. If it still isn't working for you, I could upload that particular track somewhere else and try again

Okay, so I finally finished with the Admiralpalast show. It took a minute in part because the new version of Audacity totally mucked up the "Export Selection" command, which is what I used to track the show after I recorded the whole stream. The result was that each song somehow had the first 3 or so seconds of the next song attached to its end, making it so the intro to each song played twice. I cut these weird little extra bits out. My only concern is that the transitions between songs may not be totally smooth now. I was going to go back and rerecord the whole stream and just track it

turns out my officemate decided to use my computer while i was recording the streams, which means i have to listen back and figure out which songs have little IM bleeps and bloops in them and re-record those ones. but i definitely plan on being done in the next few days. the tweedy show sounds especially great.

i'm recording the streams today...there's been a break in the clouds of work, so hopefully i can finish them by the beginning of the week

i captured the streams from the 8-28-2009 and 11-16-2009 shows awhile back and posted them on here. assuming that's still legit to do legal-wise and whatnot, i'd be happy to capture and track these two shows for everyone, too. i'm buried in work at the moment, though so it'll probably take me a few weeks to get to it. i'll post the links in this thread if nobody's beaten me to it by then

anyone else having trouble getting the solo track to stream? really want to hear this version!

okay, well for now: i have both concerts uploaded in 256k CBR mp3. the sound is pretty great for a webcast, though the amsterdam show records with a little more static (maybe a lower bitrate?) in the background throughout for some reason. the static is really inaudible unless you turn the volume up very, very high though. i tried recording both concerts a number of times with a number of different programs and settings, and yet still had this problem with the amsterdam stream, and not the dublin stream. it's really weird, but again shouldn't effect your enjoyment of the show at all unles

i did the whole thing in 256k, because i couldn't imagine they would be higher than that. just finished tagging all the files and they're uploading now. should be done in an hour or two. is it common practice to just post the download links, or should i give it out via PMs? does it matter?
