Thankfully!

What a great move!

I answered my own questions. Mass MoCA site says show at 8:00. Also says to come early as galleries will be open until 7:30. Any VC Pre-show gathering? I answered my own questions.

Is there an announced time for this show? I looked at the Shows page on the Wilco site and there is no time listed. Also, anyone know what time doors?

That's the glass half full or half empty of a soundboard. That's also why I love a matrix. But I'm not complaining, I am so glad Wilco is doing this and I have and will purchase the downloads to show my support.

love the photos in that Brooklyn Vegan piece.

I love that. Get home, plug in your ticket number, and for the price of admission you also have an mp3 (no flacs for free) of the show you just saw. I think it's brilliant. I've got Phish soundboards of all the shows I've attended since they started this for free. And because I think they're so generous with this policy, I'm happy to buy downloads of great shows I wasn't at. OK, I'd probably do that anyway, but still...

I still have vivid memories (nightmares actually) of Garcia taking the stage in shorts during hot summer stadium shows. Given that choice, I'm happy to see Tweedy in his sport coat and hat stage attire. (But I wouldn't mind if he mixed it up a little with a different jacket). The band usually wears nice looking long sleeve shirts, even in the heat. It's one thing for the crowd to be in tee shirts, shorts and sandals, but these guys are on stage performing, and I'm glad to see that they have enough respect for their position to put on some nice looking clothes, even if they are going to swe

Red Rocks flacs purchased, downloaded, converted to WAV, burned to disc, Summerteeth blasting on the stereo. Superb!

So happy to see this news! Funny that many times over the last several weeks I've wished that Wilco would set up a live download site, and here it is. I come from the GD, Phish, Allmans, Mule, etc world, where this has been going on for sometime. A really crisp audience is always nice, and can be preferable to a sterile sounding board, but I love that they did this. I'm buying, today.

Hot Tuna started as a side project while Jack and Jorma were still in the Airplane. Their first one or 2 albums came out while the Airplane still existed, definitely the first acoustic album. Hot Tuna would open shows for the Airplane. Jack and Jorma eventually left the Airplane to do Hot Tuna full time. So I think they fit within this topic.

In the middle of Art of Fielding right now, a good read. I hadn't previously thought of it, but I agree with the John Irving reference. Before that, I read Zeitoun by Dave Eggers. (I haven't mastered the ability to display the book covers when using my iPad). A non-fiction account of a Syrian family in New Orleans during and after Katrina. Excellent book. And infuriating to read what out of control police state government can do.

Yes to that, though I'd put Garcia and Saunders/Legion of Mary ahead of JGB. Yes to many of the bands already listed, but for me #1 in this category by a mile would be Hot Tuna.

Wilco not doing festivals? Didn't they just do Forecastle? And Hangout Festival? Plus those 3 festivals in Europe? Something does not compute.

There was something about that Autumn Defense show that was very special. Maybe the combo of the room and it being Solid Sound, I don't know, but "countrified shimmer" says it perfectly. I am so looking forward to seeing Wilco there.

No encore?

It's a small room. Thought i read 1,000 tickets. Wonder if there will be chairs or open floor? When the Autumn Defense set was moved in there at 1st Solid Sound, the floor was open in front with risers and seats in the back s my memory. For the comedy cabaret last year it was all chairs. Wonder if anyone has seen a proper concert in that room? I was also under the impression that there will be no opener, which is what I am counting on. And I have no problem if they decide to open with One Sunday Morning.

Damn shame, they were the greatest band on the planet in their day.

Have a few Wilco merch items, and glad to have them and pay for them for a band that gives us so much. Among my favorites: the Wilco/Intelligensia coffee mug from the first Solid Sound, a few tee shirts (cherry ghost and Wilco phone ringing) and a beautifully framed and signed "butterfly" poster for the Orpheum Theater show on the "Evening With" tour.

I love a matrix, my favorite recordings. I'm always grateful to those who take the time to put them together and circulate them. Looking at my hard drive, I have a bunch of Wilco matrixes: 2007-08-22; 2008-03-09; 2008-05-15; 2010-03-03.

Oh no, that's gonna burn some of my time.

I have the audience recording, which sounds excellent. AKG 481 (fob) > V3 > Marantz PMD661 (16/44.1) Recorded and seeded by Jeff Frank jsfrank@sbcglobal.net Will have to compare to the XRT stream recording. Has anyone already done that comparison? I know listening to the stream live on Sunday it sounded great. An FM broadcast would typically be more compressed (hence the search in the old days for a "pre-FM" recording), don't know if that's the case with a web streamed FM broadcast.

I noticed the same thing both years at Solid Sound. Standing out in Joe's Field, I thought the PA was noticeably great. Crystal clear sound out in the field at night.

I was not in the ballpark. But sitting on my couch listening to the webstream, I thought this show rocked! No complaints from me.
