How much can they actually make off of selling live shows by way of another company (I am guessing the company takes a cut)?
Plus it would be nice if they put out something official on one of their websites or whatever.
It does seem odd after all this time.
I'm not sure exactly how the financials work with nugs, but I also doubt that audience recordings would really make a dent in official recording sales. Even as a taper I still buy every show I see when the recordings are released.
Sadly, taping policies on band websites have generally disappeared. Policies are passed through word of mouth or email with management these days.

I have to wonder what the reason is for changing the policy.
Maybe someone here can find out.
Didn't mean to drop that tidbit and disappear... There's been a bunch of discussion about it on a pretty active taper forum. I was specifically told no by Stan in SLC last fall, he said the promoter said no and assumed they'd be putting out recordings of the whole tour because of it (none have come out so far...) Few others were able to get in over the course of that tour so not entirely sure what was going on there.
About a month ago somebody reached out to Wilco management and were specifically told taping is no longer allowed. I believe they asked Stan at a show and was told that while Stan and the touring crew fought hard for taping, the band basically didn't care, and new management gave a hard no.
Honestly pretty disappointing to see a band that was soooo open to tapers have a complete reversal. I can only hope that they start putting out everything as roadcase/nugs releases, but I'm not holding my breath seeing how inconsistent they've been.

Yep, I second that! I miss the days when Nugs would drop a new show every month, instead of the quarterly release plan that they’ve gone with. We won’t see another show again until the last day of November. Seems far, far away.
We'll have to cross our fingers that it starts to pick up, as they've apparently put the kibosh on audience taping...

RNG doesn't have an E shape of a chord in it as it is in Drop D. My guess based on the guitar and chord shape, it is either Red-Eyed and Blue/I Got You or maybe Impossible Germany if that is an Am not an E.
Maybe Jesus Etc? Always the SG for that one

Great set last night. I relocated out to SLC a few months ago so it's always fun to see Wilco in a new place. Nice to see a few changes (love the inclusion of ALTWYS.) Was bummed not to get Ashes and haven't seen a setlist but it seemed like they got curfew'd. I enjoyed both Sleater Kinney and Nnamdi and would definitely recommend showing up on time for this tour.
Quick note if there are any other tapers on here: I spoke to Stan and he (very apologetically) told me that the promoter told him no taping on this tour. He said his impression was that it was because they're planning on releasing every show from the tour, but considering how sporadic it's been in general, I guess we'll have to wait and see, but probably don't expect a ton of tapes from this one. That said, I taped anyway and will upload it if I don't see any others pop up

I'm not aware of anywhere you can stream live Wilco outside of the official Nugs site
-
They're wide open. There were four of us. Relisten pulls from archive.org's Live Music Archive, and Wilco never agreed to have their shows hosted there.
-
And I am also thinking of a Led Zeppelin live show site that cataloged what Robert Plant said at shows. I believe they were called "Plantisms".
*Plantations I think.
Totally forgot that site existed

My tape of last night (might still be uploading)

Just got word that we should be getting these tapes sometime very soon. They're mixed and ready to go
-
It's interesting that opsopcopolis thought I'm the Man Who Loves you and I Got You were flat. I was blown away by how hard they rocked! I guess that's the one benefit to not seeing a bunch of shows in a row.
This is my only show this tour. I just think the song could use a break.
-
Had a great time last night. Thought the new songs fit in pretty well (with an exception or two.) Nice to see that they're rotating more songs than they were on Schmilco tour, but would still love to see even more variety night to night. Man Who Loves You and I Got You both felt pretty flat and could use a bit of a break IMO (as could Jesus, but people seem to love that song.) Loved seeing ALTWYS and Theologians, and thought Misunderstood was great as the set ender. Overall solid setlist and show. Will try to have my tape uploaded later today.
ETA: There was also some great banter last night, including Jeff cajoling a guy for walking across the lip of the stage taking photo/video. Said "I hate that guy" and then called him an asshole

Just finished up a pretty solid weekend. Shanghai Symphony Wednesday, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orch with Wynton on Friday, Amanda Shires Saturday, and Mark Knopfler Sunday

Went to Red Rocks this past weekend. Great to have MMJ back. They sounded fantastic.
My recordings of both nights:
-
I get what you're saying, especially the underutilized insight. Star Wars is the outlier in the recent Jeff Tweedy-related output; the others are waltz/folk heavy. Schmilco, to me, sounds like it fits more with Sukierae/Warm/Warmer than the rest of the Wilco catalog. I don't think Ode to Joy will be another Schmilco. At least I hope it is not, as I prefer the rock/experimental wanderings that Wilco does so well.
I still can't help but think of Star Wars and Schmilco as one long record. They're both short and complete each other tonally

Sooooooo is that countdown on Instagram new record related?...
-
My tix for Chicago said 7:30, they took the stage at 9. Not sure who's opening. If it's Whiskey Myers, you're not missing anything. Enjoy!
Same in DC. They were onstage a few min before 9

Pay for nugs. You get all the roadcase stuff

Rolling Stones. Probably in the rain

I'm having trouble finding clips of these new songs... Can anyone share a link?
Since all the other tapers seem to be slacking here's my 'just in case' tape of the two new tunes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfn309ztfn08sqw/new%20wilco.mp3?dl=0

That was damn near a perfect Wilco set for my tastes. Had an absolute blast!
-
After 4-5 karaoke songs I found myself saying “oh they still have almost an hour left!” And then it just kept gooiiiiinnnngggg. I think it was a cool/fun idea, but just went on for way too long.
That being said, one of my oldest friends, Eben, was the one who sung Monday, and I thought he killed it! Jeff even commented on how he reminding him that Wilco could use a real singer.
Eben’s record if anybody is interested: https://open.spotify.com/album/3bsCWc4RAI2n0kF6yTfS0i?si=TlWkxhbaTUyFW4u--XHnYw

I'd doubt the site policies will change, but there's definitely a subset of tapers that will be discouraged from going out to tape, so I'd expect fewer shows to pop up in general... Also Trader's Den is closing
