Mine, of course (on tapers.org)! Just kidding. They both sound -very- good, I think. We all have different ideas about what sounds "better" or "best", so download a track or two from each and decide which you prefer.

Are you connecting with an FTP client or browser? If client, try configuring your FTP client to connect in passive (PASV) mode.

If you use an FTP client, you can download them all simultaneously (or in sequence, one after the other, without further intervention), i.e. start the download and walk away. If you're using a browser, you'll need to click on each individual file and Save As, unless you're using a download plugin like gethemall for Firefox, or some other download manager. Download the one here, since it doesn't require a Dime account:

For those unwilling or unable to use BitTorrent or an FTP client, here's a link to download via FTP with your web browser: ftp://tapers.org/drive1/wilco2008-02-15.flac16/

That's correct: hosted at tapers.org, login = ftp4all, and password = ftp4all. I just logged on with FileZilla (an FTP client) and it worked fine. You might also try through a web browser with this URL: ftp://ftp4all:ftp4all@tapers.org/drive1/w...08-02-16.flac16

Another source, in addition to Jerry's fine recording: (And to the inevitable question of "which sounds better?": we all have different preferences and opinions about what sounds best. Download a couple tracks of each, decide which you prefer, and then d/l the rest of the one you liked best. I think they both sound great.) ftp: tapers.org dir: /drive1/wilco2008-02-16.flac16/ login: ftp4all pass: ftp4all Wilco 2008-02-16 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre http://www.wilcoworld.net [1] with Andrew Bird on violin [2] with Total Pros Horns 1ST SET 01.

Whoops, thanks for the correction. FTP download updated, too.

Nah, probably not. Of course, others are free to d/l and BT on those sites.

The balcony source sounds surprisingly good for the balcony at the Riv. Nice recording, whoever made it.

SSIA Would love to make sure I (we) get some nice recordings (hopefully, considering the venue) of this 5-night stand. Please email at bskalinder@yahoo.com. Thanks!
