I have heard of her, and I have heard her music. I do not particularly care for it, but there are a lot of folks who do.

Wow. Beautiful guitars. Must be nice to have all three...must have saved up for a long time.

Hell is Chrome is and always will be one of my top Wilco songs. Absolutely love it, both on record and in concert.

Being There and Summerteeth both also were excellent albums before YHF or AGIB.

Listening to 9/18/04 at sooutoftune.org and "Via Chicago" is definitely noisy.

Would also like to add that Jay Bennett's guitar licks in "Forget the Flowers" are just spectacular.

I love me some James Alley Blues. Jeff looks tired.

I wouldn't judge. I'd like to do the same thing, but I only have the $65 part of that equation.

It's utterly forgettable -- or unforgettable?

There's a nice interview with John Stirratt linked in this thread where he points out that the current arrangement of Spiders is in the spirit of how it was first recorded. Alive: You’ve been doing a reworked version of “ ,” too, an acoustic version. Was that just a product of fooling around, or did you feel like the song needed a refresher, or what?Stirratt: That was kind of the way the song originally was demoed. I heard Jeff perform it solo at a benefit, it was like a 9/11 benefit we did at the Metro, that I put on with some other people. He performed it like that solo, and I thought it

"Summerteeth" on the Red Rocks recording is GREAT. Love the fast tempo.

I love both records. My emotional attachment to SBS is stronger, mainly because it was the first "new" Wilco release after I became a fan, and my wife and I were becoming fans together. The bass playing is spectacular on both records -- something that seems to be lacking in the mix on WTA -- even on a song as sub-par as Leave Me Like You Found Me. I love the 1970s classic rock vibe of SBS, and for me it's a nice palate cleanser after digging into "heavier" Wilco records. That being said, I think TWL is a far stronger record than SBS and with the exception of live recordings, is the finest e

Always fun to watch and listen to shows from that era, although I skip the thrash version of Passenger Side every time...have never enjoyed that. And Jeff's shirt is horrible. But those boys played their asses off.

You should have had a link appear on your screen immediately after you clicked "purchase" to begin downloading the zip. I also received the "processing" email but followed the directions on the Kung Fu site and had no problem with access to my purchase.

Nice post. That's a great older set. But there's a slight error in your reporting; this wasn't the live debut of "She's a Jar." That happened in October the prior year during the first of a two-night stand at First Avenue in Minneapolis. Both of those recordings are also great.

The Red Rocks show is a delight. Love the subtle changes in some of the arrangements, great organ work, tunes from the new record sound great. These downloads can turn into a black hole for my money if they keep this up...

Love to see "Christ for President" not just in the set - but as the opener!

They're not really bootlegs if they're official live releases. And I'm hoping they release some of the shows I've attended!

I really like "The Whole Love," but I wouldn't say a set featuring six songs from that record could be called "Wilco's greatest hits."

I do not foresee Wilco playing ALL of a Mermaid Avenue record anytime soon. I mean, who's gonna sing Billy's parts?

That's a nice axe. Is the fellow from Music Exchnge the same guy who made the "Rock History in 100 Riffs" video that's been going around?

Heh. Blazed right past that part. Oh well. I thought Tweedy did a great job producing the Mavis Staples record, looking forward to hearing more of his work on that end.

No Depression reports that Jeff and Mr. Sansone are co-producers on the record. Hmmm... http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/sara-lee-guthrie-talks-her-legacy-her-family-and-where-they-go-fr
