My favorite recordings of my bands have been everyone live but all amps isolated in a different, sound proof, room.

A feed of a click track and all amps and mics sent to the drummer's headphones to get the drums recorded with everyone "live" then individual tracks recorded on top of the "clean" drum track.

I hope that made sense....

Wait until you get to Laminated Cat.

 

And Cars Can't Escape!

This is insane. Best show ever.

The best sounding boot/performance from this particular period is here: http://wilcoarchive....ilco 20030904/. It's got a little bit of everything.

I just finished Kingpin, and man this show is awesome already, thanks!

That and the 4/29/2003 "Minus Fur" show.

What is that?

It was 7/25/12. It's for sale from Wilco as roadcase #5. And I agree it is a glorious show.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

My only real Wilco-regret over the last 18 yrs is that I missed Terminal 5 NYC cuz of work....my favorite recording (thanks NYC Taper Dan) since Irving Plaza 6/8/04

What's the date of the Terminal 5 show? I cannot find it.

id love to see a shakeup in wilco land. maybe even just a tour or two with a more stripped down lineup. something like jeff/john/glenn and one of the keyboard dudes? this lineup has really gelled in concert, but itd be cool to see them try something a little different. bring back the looseness of a smaller band.

I got into the band with AGiB, so I have only had the chance to see the currently lne-up. I have always wanted to see Wilco do speciality tours where they could do different lineups. With Jay being gone, we won't be able to see the ultimate vision of this, but they could still shake things up and do the post YHF lineup tour.

Maybe even do a mini tour with multinight stands in larger cities and do different lineups/themes per night

5th Oct 2001 is a great one. leroy left because of too much touring, but it was his decision

Wow, this show it probably my favorite that I have heard from this era, thanks for the recomendation!

I have boxes full of letters.

My box is only half full

Just gonna toss this out there again...where can one easily access Jeff's solo arrangement of BBN? I've heard it's quite good.

Looks like Jeff played it 2011-07-08, 2011-07-09 and 2011-07-10. None of which are on owl and bear.

Is the lead singer wearing a costume or....?

Any meet-up/dinner plans for tonight?

This was awesome. Love this song. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing video, Thanks!

Does anyone have any photos of the bass John is playing?

Been anticipating this since I first heard about it. Thanks for the heads up.

This part confuses me:

"Sitting in on drums, we had James Gadson, who's played on most of the Bill Withers records and on songs like 'Express Yourself' and 'I Will Survive."

this guy must be Glenn's little brother or something....

I'm really surprised at the number of people who don't like the Billy Bragg stuff on the Mermaid discs. That's some good stuff. Walt Whitman's Niece, Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key, Ingrid Bergman, Eisler on the Go, Hot Rod Hotel, All You Fascists, etc. Great songs.

It's that not that dislike any of those songs, I just like what Jeff does so much more. One the other hand, I do dislike Jim's voice on the Loose Fur stuff. I thinks Jim's contributions to the Loose Fur songs and YHF are awesome. I really love his music and his ideas, but not his voice.

On that note, has there ever been any definite article or list of what he has contributes to Wilco recordings. Specific instruments on specific songs, or mixing techniques or decisions?

Usually with my ears, I tried using my eyes once and it didn't quite work.

Ha... I was waiting for that.

You guys are mean and I am going home.

I have a "Tweedy" playlist. But it has every song from those albums. I like the change-up of getting a Jim LF song thrown in there.

 

But I love Jim's voice, so there's that.

I think I am kind of in an interesting position, being a relative new Wilco fan (first album being SBS) I had no idea these other Tweedy projects existed and I got a few solo shows early on and only knew of the LF, GS, and Mermaid songs as solo Jeff songs and had no idea there were "proper" versions of them.

As I became more and more obsessed with Jeff's music and found these other projects and "proper" versions of these songs that I have known for a year or so, I really want to be able to just hit play on my iPhone and hear the proper versions of all these songs that I have been missing out on for so long and at this point in time, I am not terribly interested in heard Jim, Billy, or anyone elses songs most of the time.

I don't really bother with a lot of playlists on my iPod. I just skip the Bragg, listen to all of Loose Fur and other side project albums.

I don't have a single playlists on my iPhone at all, it just seems like the easiest way to play all the Tweedy/Wilco only songs from Loose Fur, Mermaid, Golden Smog, Chelsea Walls....

Maybe I am the only one who wants to do this?

I tend to listen to the entire albums, regardless of what it is. Loose Fur has some GREAT non-Jeff songs. As do the Mermaid Avenue records. You're missing out, man.

I am the exact same way but then Jim starts singing, I always want to skip the song. Aside from the material in the original post, I only listen to full albums. I kind of look at all these Jeff/Wilco songs cherry picked from other projects as an album to themselves and would listen to them in that way. An album on miscellaneous Wilco/Tweedy songs.

I am curious how everyone listens to Jeff's songs that are not on Wilco records.

I find more and more than I don't care about the Billy Bragg songs on the Mermaid Ave records. I also don't care too much for the songs that Jim sings on the Loose Fur records and have removed them from my iPhone.

Do you guys have playlists of just Jeff's songs off of Mermaid, Loose Fur, Golden Smog, etc?

There are so many songs that Jeff plays at solo shows that are not proper Wilco songs that I got to know as solo/acoustic Jeff songs and getting to know then as full band, in the studio songs is great, I just don't care to hear all the other songs on these albums that are not Jeff's.

What is everyone's thoughts on this? Am I the only one who does it this way? Am I missing out on the other songs? What songs from each seperate project do you guys like the most? What project overall do you listen to the most?

School me people.

Can someone explain why the flask bothered Jeff?

Is it just that the person brought alcohol into the show and didn't buy it there?

Great question, Mike! I think the following all play a role in me not liking the new Wilco as much as the old Wilco:

 

1. Gibson guitars. Especially the SG. Don't get me wrong, I love SGs. Ian MacKaye played an SG. Angus Young plays an SG. More importantly, Jeff Erg plays an SG. They are great guitars. I'd like an SG of my own someday. Jeff Tweedy should play a Fender.

Best part of this thread yet.

going over the liner notes in the Wilco Book,it looks like only one of the twelve tracks (Hamami) is the from the dBpm session.

Here are two things I found in the print archive....

Thanks for the info guys, I really need to get the Wilco Book. It will probably be my next Wilco Purchase.

I would grab a $100 box set in a second.

info on dBpm can be found here http://www.geocities.com/nutnhunee/cold.html

 

the only tracks from it that have been made available are on the wilcobook CD.

Is the Wilco Book CD totally dBpm material or is there a breakdown somewhere showing what came from what? Are the breakdowns for EP's like this?
