Harmonica on Sunken Treasure still?

yes.

It was one of the most beautiful moments of the show. A really intense version..

Does Bull Black Nova gain intensity in its live version? (I mean like others songs as Via Chicago do)

Any news about the first show?

I'm really looking forward for the setlist!

and its pretty funny that you feel "entitled" to better tickets

I just DO NOT feel entitled to better seats, but I paid for them. When I bought them (and I bought them paying a higher price (72€, 100$) than the most expensive ticket for the standard sale), they were being advertised as first and second rows seat stalls. Then I've been fortunate enough and received last rows in stalls, but I know of people who has received seats in balcony and last rows in the entire theater...

..and sorry for my english, it's a "work in progress" , sometimes it's hard to express yourself without knowing the subtilities of a non-native language

I don

I got 11th row seats instead of first row for Madrid (as advertised in the presale web).. But I should not complaint, as another guy who also bought tickets in the wilco presale got last rows in first floor...

I know for sure this is not what any fan would expect when speaking of "wilco fan tickets presale"

I have received an email from the Madrid Wilco show organization concerning the withdrawal of tickets on box office.

There's a line that really worries me:

Igualmente os indicamos que los asientos adquiridos en las filas 1 del recinto se han reubicado a otras filas en el mismo con el fin de ofrecerles mejores calidades, ya que estas filas N

Wow. Really? That seems crazy to me.

Here the same, I tried to pre-order from nonesuch and it told me they don't ship to Spain

I ended preordering from kung Fu, with VERY HIGH shipping cost

do you think they will play new songs in the first shows in Spain and Portugal?

They did not play any new song in the last shows (except for the first show, where they played two songs from WTA)

It's also in the stream at Wilcoworld.

 

It's in both channels.. not loud, and it sounds like, well, cellphone interference..

 

Maybe someone with access to an original CD could check this out?

I don't know, I really don't hear anything strange in that sample

It doesn't sound to me like cellphone interferences at all..

Do you mean the quiet sound at the start of the sample, on the left channel?

I only hope the sound quality is not too worsened because of being a single LP... Inner groove distortion can be really annoying

oh, i burned it to cd and listened to it through my stereo. i don't listen to music through headphones, it doesn't give proper stereo imaging, because the sound is isolated to each ear. if an album only sounds good on headphones then it's been mixed badly.

I'll listen it as soon as soon as I get home, with my little reference system (Marantz pm6002 + Wharfedale 9.1). It really resolves any production details the albums have

they need Jim O'Rourke to if they're gonna continue doing this.

I'm on my iPhone headphones, so I can't really judge by now. But yes, it seems it doesn't have that warm imperfect and beautiful sound SBS had. It's strange as Wilco is one of those bands that really worry (or worried) about those details..

i was going to ask that too actually. i just think the production is shockingly bad. the drums sound shit, can't hear any bass, and tweedy clearly played acoustic guitar through those bastard pick-ups he uses on stage (on stage i can understand why, although not totally, however doing so on album is a terrible choice), and the piano sounds like a keyboard (probably because it is - as recording real piano is a real skill, and clearly whoever produced this didn't want the hassle of making things sound good).

I think the album is self-produced.. isn't it?

the radiohead forum, atease has loads of links to the leak.

What are Radiohead fans saying about the disc? I'm curious!

How does stand the album version of One Wing compared to the Lollapalooza version? I thing it was a powerful song full of interesting dynamics..

Above is a link to a Wilco thread in a Stones site. Half way down is a train with a Wilco advertisement on the side of it. It looks like the ad is for the show in TENERIFE, ESP. I'm curious to know if Wilco are all over the trains in Spain?

I haven't seen any advertisement for the Wilco concert in Madrid. But the show has been sold out for several weeks. Wilco is a very loved band here in Spain

Last tour show in Madrid was the best rock show I've ever seen, so I'm really looking forward to seeing this tour. I hope they play some new songs, but I know that won't happen unless they stream/leak the album next days

I emailed Sandbag asking about the tickets and this is their reply:

 

 

Hi

 

 

 

I'm sorry for the delay in getting these tickets to you. Unfortunately we are still waiting for them to send us the tickets.

 

 

 

We've spoken to the promoter and we agree that all tickets should now be collect at box office. She is just trying to find out where and when you'll be able to collect them and we will e-mail all ticket holders as soon as we have the details.

 

 

 

We apologise for the inconvenience.

I emailed them yesterday and have just received the same answer...

I hope we will recieve more info next days

Anyone got their tickets?

I live in Spain. Still waiting for mines (Barcelona and Tenerife).

Ohh....

Please, keep us informed if you receive your Spanish shows tickets! I'll do the same

I have not received any email about Sandbag sending my tickets yet

The camel looks like a "W" letter..

What's supposed to be on the table next to the birthday cake?

No me pongais nerviosa.

Good to see more Spanish people here!

Qu

Anyone got their tickets?

Ohh....

I'm in the same boat...

even worse, because I have recently moved to a new house and I don't know if I will be able to change the tickets shipping address

Leslie Feist is in the band now, so they fulfilled their "changing lineup" clause.

Is she in the band? I thought she was just the 'guest start'..
