  1. The following tab is lifted off of Ultimate Guitar - seems to be more proper than my interpretation, though I have yet to try it out. http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/w/wilco/random_name_generator_tab.htm I was right about the chords (you were right about the stars) - seems that the riff isn't up on the 7th fret though. In the video from the Pitchfork show, Nels seems to be playing all around the fretboard, so just move the riff from that tab up a few octaves along the neck, I guess. For the lead, that is. This tab is also missing the "sonic breakdown" part of hte song that they do durin
  2. How do WAV files compare to MP3 though? Better? I ended up just making a Spotify playlist of the show I DL'd (converted to MP3) since that's easier to transport than a burned CD.
  3. Nowadays most of the vinyl reissues come with CDs anyway. I've got the Wilco discog on CD - because I bought it on Vinyl. I had a few of the CDs already that I had picked up at record stores for a few bucks etc, but gave those away to friends since the ones they send with the record come in a little CD envelope, slimmer than a normal CD case so you can fit more in the center console. Semi-related, I burned a CD the other day for the first time in who knows how long, it was a Wilco live show, but my car's CD player can't read FLACs so it was a wasted endeavor.
  4. Great listen, I can listen to Jeff talk all day. Wilco (the podcast)
  5. I've gotten Wilco for fair prices. But I will say that for some reason, depending on the store, Dylan on vinyl can be expensive. At Euclid Records at Solid Sound they had a lot of cool Dylan, lots of bootlegs too, and there the prices were pretty fair. It's mostly limited to his bigger records, but I've seen some huge markups on Blonde on Blonde. I got BOTT from Euclid, think I paid 20-25.
  6. The "Impossible Germany" solo is good evidence of this - there are certain measures where he only hits 1 or 2 notes, plus or minus a hammer-on. And as you say, he totally avoids guitar cliches like "boxing" etc - he's a unique guitarist, and my favorite.
  7. Irving Plaza show is on Youtube for those who are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayBigPLuXAk
  8. IDK - I got most of the discography on Amazon for around 25 dollars per - from Amazon so free shipping for prime. Did pay 40 dollars for Being There at a record shop - first edition. If you have any questions about the price, on the back of my copy of Being There they left an email address - wilcobaby@aol.com
  9. Using it now. Such an amazing and convenient site. It went down for a week or so around SS and I got really scared - but it's back!
  10. I have this one on my external HD - depending on size I can dropbox it. Though I believe I got it on Etree - some of the JHamm stuff is up there, but not all of it is seeded. Edit: - awesome - now I have a bunch of shows to listen to today during work (though there's a good amount just in this thread, haven't even looked at the older ones, so doubt I will get through too many today)
  11. Interesting. I hope they come down to FL, again. I was a bit spoiled and got to see most of the FL shows, but I've not seen Star Wars live! If they come to Tallahassee at around the same time it would be amazing, since I'll be graduating around then. That would be a really good way to end my schooling. I'm not picky though, I'll just take some FL shows.
  12. SBS was also how I was introduced to Wilco - not long after I saw i am trying to break your heart. Can't recall if I listened to YHF before or after. Probably I had heard IATBYH (the song) and maybe a few others, like Jesus, before seeing the film but it was VERY soon after I started listening to Wilco. You make a good point though, although the friend who introduced me to Wilco thinks SBS is their best (or at least his favorite) - and this was around the time WTA came out.
  13. Pretty sure it's 6/30/03 - Sonic Youth played that show too. 6/29 and 7/2 dates (presumably the ones before and after) seem to be on there though.
  14. Going to check this one out ASAP, thanks! Edit: Actually, mind pointing me in the direction of this one? Can't find it on owl and bear
  15. 2001-2003 is a really interesting period especially after Jay is fired. Wilco are sort of "stripped down" - and Jeff does much of the heavy guitar lifting, as he does on a ghost is born. I also like the SBS era just because many of the songs are really good live and it was the first times they played them. Right now actually is my favorite period in live Wilco, I think these are the best their shows have been, though I have only been a fan since 2009 so I never attended shows before then. I also really like the Being There tour period, late '90s is very interesting period in general. Also a
  16. Finally listened to the new Jason Isbell album (Star Wars overshadowed it for me) - WOW! What a great record! I had been indifferent to Jason Isbell before, mostly out of ignorance to much of his work, but this album is really good. It's been a great summer for music,
  17. I literally spent 20 minutes searching their boards (boy, they really DO NOT like Wilco or Jeff) for Henneman's posts. Then reading random stuff he posted, then I scrolled down one MM on this thread and saw this post.....I used to be smart, but I'm not anymore. Too much Spiders/Kidsmoke I guess.
  18. I have 2 of those downloaded, JHamm DVD project. Incidentally, I thought maybe JHamm who made the bootlegs was Jon Hamm. It could be, as Jon Hamm is a big Wilco fan. Anyway, just head over to sooutoftune.org and look around by year for the late '90s era. Really interesting Wilco era that I enjoy, and not just because of the presence of Jay. Also, in general, read this book back in February. Very good, but maybe it is time for a 2nd edition now.
  19. Yeah, guess they sold out of the pre-sale allotments. I'm maybe going to that show w/ some friends but the issue there is they aren't as good at paying attention to this stuff as I am. So I am waiting to confer further with them, confirm also, and then hopefully the floor tickets will be available again when the real sale starts.
  20. Ha, you can hear me right as "California Stars" starts yelling "I LOVE THIS SONG"
  21. I got it too - I was there, that's where I met Mr. Heartbreak. An amazing show all around, and I think it shines through on the recording too. I've only listened to the acoustic encore, but, just from these few tracks seems like it's a great recording of what I know was a great show.
  22. I got the Roadcase just now when I signed it. It's the 5/1 show from this year in St. Augustine. Coincidentally, I also got front pit seats to that show for free from the band. It was an amazing show, so, good choice for a Roadcase.
  23. Thank you! I was just playing that on guitar, and while I was reading the lyrics/chords thinking about that. In this sense "From where we end to where do I begin" is a really powerful and sad line - the whole song is probably one of my favorite "love" songs, at least sad ones.
  24. Man, too bad Nels isn't coming that close to FL. Or even GA. We get pretty lucky with Wilco shows each tour but the side projects don't come to FL too much. Still kicking myself for not seeing the Autumn Defense in Jacksonville a few years ago.
