Glenn looks a little too excited for the task at hand!!

ok, so here is a total dork out moment for me, anyone else spot themselves in the DVD? i know hummingbird did, and yours truly is in one of the crowd shots during "hate it here" (my friend april is dead center plain as day in the shot, i'm to her left and get a couple glimpses, apparently singing my ass off). i thought i spotted elixer sue during "shot in the arm" but she said it was her doppleganger. and during the credits, the guy in the plaid shirt is one of mine and hummingbird's friends, we were standing right next to him, that was as the 9:30 club was emptying out.
anyone else have a 2 second flash of immortality?
I'm a dork too
but I was wholly excited when I saw myself during the first two songs from Cains! In a few shots from over Jeff's shoulder while he plays, I'm right there in front next to the nice fan that I met who was all the way down from Chicago. I guess it's kind of lame but I thought it was pretty cool to see myself there. I remember watching videos on MTV, back when they used to show actual music videos, and thinking it would have been so cool to be one of the people in the crowd that was in the video... -
Giving these away at this point!! If you want them, let me know!

Figured this would be as good a place as any to air my "Record Store Day" DVD rant ...
Okay, which of you Okie VCers bought one of the 8 -- THAT'S EIGHT, AS IN SINGLE DIGITS -- Ashes DVDs shipped to Starship Records in Tulsa for Saturday's special pre-sale?
By the time I got to town for another event (2 pm or so), I called the store and they said they were sold out. I asked how many they had, and the nice lady on the phone said eight. I'm not surprised the DVD was popular (and I'm happy for the folks who got them Saturday), but to send a handful of copies to city of 400,000 people is a little lame.
Same goes for Guestroom Records in OKC, but I don't know how many they had available. By the time my friend got there, they were also out. Calls to other RSD participants in both towns revealed that those shops didn't even get the DVD at all.
(SIGH). Guess I'll just wait a week and go to Hasting's.
8? That's ridiculous. I got one on Friday night from..._____ship records!! Not sure I should be saying that because I don't want to get them in trouble
But I called them Friday around 8:00 and asked if they were going to have it Saturday. The guy was like "uhh, we might have some left by then. you might just want to stop in tonight and see what we have." At first I thought he'd misunderstood what I was asking and the he said, "just come tonight."So, I did. And I guess I got one of the 8...Hope you find one soon. I can share mine!

Loved the dvd!! but as one of the front row viewers at the Cain's show, I've got to say that the editing on that little banter disappointed me too. I thought the opening song with the sound check of Ashes did an amazing job of giving a feel for Cain's though. What I wouldn't have given to have been inside the building for that...

Thanks

"our love is all we gots honey..." Nothing too crazy. But now that I know what the line actually is, it makes a lot more sense. Jeff Tweedy doesn't seem like the sort to use a phrase like "gots", even in the interest of poetry and song.
-
OKC?? Trying to hyperventilate...going to Oxford, MS in a couple of weeks and now I'll get to see them in June (hopefully!!). AWESOME news!!!
-
"by the bed, by the light..."- Far Far Away
Don't know why but I spend the entire song waiting for that line.
Sunken Treasure- every single lick of the song
"our love...our love...is all we have"- Jesus, etc
"he took down all the mirrors in the hallway
and thought only of his younger face"- Black Eye (on sunken treasure)
hmm. thats all I got for now. I know there are many more. There's obviously a reason Wilco is playing 98% of the time in my car or on my iphone.
-
Wow...that was possibly...the worst Wilco related...anything...
Now I'm kind of glad they don't do more videos.
word.
-
I'm in. Testing my patience and will power and waiting for the big day, whenever that is! So far my only glimpse into the new material is the couple of songs Jeff played at his solo show in Champaign...trying like hell to keep it that way.
-
Haven't had time to read the interview yet, looking forward to it though. But I just have a quick question, is this interview in print or just on the www?
Anyone know which issue if so?
-
My 2 1/2 year old is on her way to Wilco fandom. Her favorites are Outtasite, Jesus Etc, and Calfornia Stars. She also LOVES the whistling on The Ruling Class. At home, she loves it when I sing Magazine Called Sunset, and The Thanks I Get. She's easy to please. My 11 year old is a little pickier but she did ask me to add some Wilco songs to her iTouch so she got extra dessert for a week
-
It is a great song, one of my favorites from the album. But more importantly, best wishes to you and your new beginning. Coming from the opposite side of the fence, I've spent many years of my life facing the addiction of someone I love. And the strength to coping with that and lending encouragement and support comes only through steadfast patience, and I hear those words often, "please, be patient with me...". So, sending much strength, courage, and patience your way.
-
But because I was at the show when Jeff made the comment about the show needing an "astrisk" because he was on steroids, I feel compelled to say they got that wrong. That was at the Tulsa show! Unless he recycled that banter from the earlier Nashville show. Which is possible, I guess. Not important in the grand scheme of things, but still kind of irritating.
-
Didn't Jeff say something about the album having tricky time changes on it? I think that guy was joking about the album being trip hop because Tricky is a 'trip hop'(genre no longer in use) artist.
could be...I thought they were talking about the experimental sounds, etc, on the forthcoming album and thats what spurred the dude's question. Either way though, still funny to me
-
The way he says that and his ridiculous smile after saying "teeth" makes me crack up every time
my favorite is the guy who asks if the new album is like a trip hop album...wtf? I laugh so hard every time I watch that part!

One thing I love about Wilco is the smaller venues. In Tulsa this past winter I was standing almost on stage with JT. We could not help but make eye contact.The stage was not elevated much at all. And with Nells last week I was actually talking to him..as was everyone else.Good times!
I must have been right next to you...I was smashed against the railing, of my own doing of course, staring Jeff and Pat in the face. So me, I vote for small venues. I've been to plenty of large venue shows, and when Pearl Jam tours again, undoubtedly, I'll suck it up and go see them at Ford center or whatever enormous arena they play, but it's not my preference. There's just some bands that you have to see and that might be the only way. A Pearl Jam show in Cain's would be pretty cool though...
-
I can't wait to SEE this one!
No doubt! Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed that the DVD is pushed back to April now...was hoping for Feb/ March. But, there's the trailer, right? So that will have to do.

I'm reliving the 3/8/08 show from Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. It was my first live Wilco experience. Needless to say, though I already loved the band, I was officially converted at this show. I was surprised when I saw them two months later in Lawrence, KS, at the difference in Jeff's voice. He'd gotten a steroid injection before the Tulsa show just so he could sing. Now, listening to the show again, it's clear his voice was not a 100%, but still an amazing show.

I'm a newbie on a Mac and I just downloaded this the other day: http://www.nch.com.au/switch/plus.html
Then downloaded the tracks I wanted from Owl and Bear, drug them all into Switch, specified a folder, clicked convert, presto. Then, drug them all into itunes and was listening to the 3/8/08 show from Cain's Ballroom on my iphone as I fell asleep, all within about an hour (give or take...) Easy. Good luck!

"Say hi to your family!"
I was surprised at how at-ease Jeff was. This was my first solo show, so I didn't really know what to expect (aside from some kick-ass music, but isn't that a given?).
It excited me to almost no end (geekin' out in the balcony!) that he played so many of my favorites...Muzzle of Bees, the Ruling Class, Remember the Mountain Bed. It was definitely a special night for me.
BTW...best pizza I've ever had was at Papa Del's. MMMMMMMM!
Did anyone else go there?
(edit) So, it looks like my copy of the show completed before the seeder buggered out. I'll leave my BT client open so that y'all can finish yours.
We ate at Papa Del's too and thought the same thing!! I'll never be able to eat pizza hut again. And also!! I'm trying to get the show...is there a different link for your copy? Any help would be appreciated! I'm not very familiar with the whole process.
-
sigh...if only I lived closer, I'd be all over this. Hmmm, maybe it's time to think about relocating. I'm sure my family wouldn't mind relocating in the interest of live music!

This made me laugh...really loudly!!! thanks
Reading these semi-mixed reviews, I have to say I'm almost glad I didn't get to make the road trip from Tulsa. But I said ALMOST. Because even a shitty venue and a rowdy crowd would have been worth a live show. Oh well. OKC soon!!
