I'm just finally getting around to my viewing after download... first of all, what an incredible thrill seeing that whole album is. I gotta believe they are going to be doing the full album first- hopefully for the rest of the Summer & ensuing "Star Wars" tour...

I'm not complaining, just reporting... turbulence in my vid from 46:24 to 46:45- anyone else having this too? If not, then maybe I should try downloading again?

In the audio file it's at 1:37 of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart"

I never got any e-mail about that. Maybe it only applies to those who didn't already have a Crowd Surge account? That would suck - I only recently opened it to get Jason Isbell tickets.

The email was about the change for who was handling the pre-sale... when you went & registered there, & I assume you can use another email to open the Wilco ticket centered account with them, is when you got the message, but... One way or another folks here will clearly have you covered for getting the music. No worries.

The link below is different from the one above, & it came from an Italian fan (with an Italian facebook Wilco fan group- https://www.facebook...ps/81904083870/) who posted it on the facebook group "A Shot In The Arm: the Wilco Fan Group".

 

It's in one full piece (rather than 10 like the one above), & it appears to have no glitches or dropout so far (I'm in as far as "Handshake Drugs"- so I can say, for sure, that all the "Star Wars" material is perfect). From what I understand about the other one up here (in 10 sections) is that there are some issues with it involving some glitches etc. (I originally posted it myself on the "A Shot In The Arm: the Wilco Fan Group" facebook page, after a friend of mine had discovered it, but neither one of us could get it to work...so kudos to whoever figured that part out)... this one is, to the best of my knowledge, clear & clean all the way through...

 

 

I don't know how all of this works. I'm posting this link that worked for me, via facebook, late last night...but... if it doesn't work, it's also in my dropbox & with a little coaching, I'm sure that can be shared here somehow too. Anxious to hear if this works for folks, so feel free to chime in either way!

So who knows how to get a sound file, with song separation, from this? That I'm still looking for.

And here are the audio files... with song separation no less... and with two download options- regular & zip... Enjoy!!

Looks as if the uploader deliberately uploaded at wrong speeds. This comment is attached to RNG:

 

"Slowed down to avoid copyright, just put it at 1.25x and it'll be alright. Great fucking song"

OK. That makes sense...I've seen that done before. I've read a few things about stories about records that sounded great at the wrong speeds. Greil Marcus once had some record/song appear twice in his "Real Life Top Ten" column with the wrong at the wrong speed charting higher & better.

I remember it myself playing a Waterboys 12-inch single B-side "Medicine Jack" (B-side for "The Whole Of The Moon") at 33 instead of 45 & adoring how the groove & horns sounded more at the wrong speed...

Star Wars demos leaked already? Kind of fascinating to hear these at a slower pace...RNG is interesting! But i much prefer the album pace.

 

Easier to pick out the lyrics on these slower versions.

 

Edit: Looks like the YouTuber has just slowed the songs down "to avoid copyright infringement"...odd that it doesn't seem to affect Jeff's voice. 

WOW!!! Has anyone made any files yet?

Has anyone seen Pat play that guitar before? Was it a Gibson? ES335? As i recall he didn't change guitars once during the Star Wars material.

 

 

That was most certainly a Gretsch hollowbody at the start of the set that he was playing. I'm pretty sure it was a 6120 with Filtertron humbuckers, but others feel free to weigh in here as well.

If you sign up with CrowdSurge, Wilcoworld will send you a free Roadcase show. It said to expect something within the week and that was from a few days ago. CrowdSurge got my email from Front Gate.

At first I figured we'd just get a coupon for a free mp3 version of any Roadcase...but now... after reading this- "Thank you for signing up. You will be receiving an exclusive free Roadcase in your email within the next week."... I'm thinking that they may just make the Pitchfork show (a short one though it was) the "exclusive" free Roadcase show!!!

I really hope this ends up the case. Wondering if we'll be able to get ALAC (my preferred version) & FLAC versions of whatever show it is?

Maybe this show will be the Roadcase/Crowd Surge email giveaway.

It had to happen, & I'm glad that it's such well done fun... the feel good hit of the Summer...the latest chapter of the continuing adventures of Chicago's favorite Sonic Jedi's!
May The Force Be With You! Indeed...

And for the record, while wildly passionate about those & that which I love... I'm no knee-jerk fanboy. Plenty of artists I adore have put out lesser, even lousy, works & when that happens I just sigh & call it for what it is. So I can say that I prefer Wilco to Uncle Tupelo, & that the Uncle Tupelo albums, for me, get better & better, but that that catalog has earlier works, which, while I like them & love some songs on them, are more of historical interest & not something I really ever play anymore, after having heard them years ago.

All that said... concerning Wilco's new album "Star Wars"? I think they might just be Jedi. Just incredible!!!!!!!!!!!




 

Well, there's 166 people seeding this right now - which is pretty high for Wilco.

I know I'll be seeding it for quite a while, so if you can get in to it after a few days like they're telling you, you'll still find it.

The file is about 2.5 GB in a MKV format, 1080p.

I'm going to move a copy to a thumb drive and watch this again, but on my big screen tonight.

Right On!!! And ENJOY!!! I'm sure it & I will be crossing paths eventually...just love that to be soonerer than laterer...

Can you create a new account?

You'd have to rebuild your ratio.

From the Dime website (been getting this since last night)...

So, I tried out a bunch of things today.  A Sheraton with mini humbuckers and a Bigsby. This is the one I was hoping would win me over.  It was nice but the neck was too chunky for my liking. Then I tried a Guild Starfire 4, which had a lot of charm, but it was more money than I was prepared to spend.  Finally I tried a Casino, which was just as much fun as I remember my old one being, so I worked out a pretty fair trade for my Strat and went home with it.  The wife is out of town this weekend, so I'l be turning the amp up and breaking this thing in for the next couple of days,

Right On!!! Enjoy! Think you've just inspired me to dig out my Casino today & show it some love...

Your "Jazzmaster with P-90's"... is that a J Mascis's model? I know they have different non-regular Jazzmaster, P-90's in them, stock from Fender. I have a friend who has one & it's his fave Jazzmaster ever. I'm getting Seymour Duncan Antiquity (Antiquity 1's- the kind like the late 50's pickups, like Nel's Black '59... II's are more like the 60's ones) pickups put in mine- they are on order & should be in this next week!

For anyone kind enough to oblige... my personal mailbox here is open for kind files of unknown origins...thanks in advance!!

On the Tweedy tour he started out with about an album's worth of new songs & it involved more actual time. I really, Really, REALLY hope that they continue to begin the rest of the upcoming scheduleled shows by playing the whole album, start to finish. It's an album that really works flow, song placement wise etc. to unfold pretty perfect as a sort of first mini-set.
I guess I'll be at the Toronto show now regardless, knowing that they'll be doing plenty of this.

TUNE IN! TURN ON!! ROCK OUT!! !

Aren't you off by an hour. It says 8:30 local, which would be Est?
I'm guess Chvrches is going over. No rock shows are ever on time. Ha.

Anyone I've talked to said the local 8:30 was CST...

WILCO REPORT: TONIGHT!! Wilco live at the Pitchfork Fest with an 9:30 P.M. EST live simulcast stream. "As for their headlining set at Pitchfork tonight, Wilco will be offering fans an extremely unique opportunity in their set. Tweedy reveals, “we’re going to play the record start to finish tonight.” He explains that he wants people to hear the record in its entirety. He says, “that’s one of the reasons we wanted to release it this way. We wanted people to hear the whole record first.”. "

I was driving, on the way from Rochester to Cleveland to see The Mekons, when we got the call about this sweetest of Summer surprises ("All the young dudes carry the news" indeed!). I went straight into the office, arriving around dawn (with my first patient in at 9:00) & have been listening to it all this, oh what a beautiful morning!! Still so much to digest, but Wow!!! So much to love & so many amazing twists in turns in it's 34 minute run. So excited to spend to weekend getting to know this album!!

Thanks Team Wilco for the absolute joy & fun of the surprise part & more so, for delivering this bolt out of the blue little masterpiece that can now become the soundtrack for the rest of my Summer!!!
May The Force Be With You!!!

Having had the Les Paul out for a few days, I'm starting to really warm up to it, but I would trade it for a 335 of similar quality any day, without hesitation.  It's funny you mention the John Lennon Casino*.  I was considering buying myself one of those right before I got the Les Paul. In the end, my romanticized memories of the Les Paul I had when I was younger (a 1981 Standard, which I got for $500 in 1991) won out. Chasing a memory is not a winning idea.   

 

*I used to have a regular Casino, and I regret parting with that.  I loved the sound and how light it was.  

 

I'm thinking about taking a music store tour this weekend with my Strat (nice Strat but I wouldn't miss it) and seeing what kind of semi hollow I can trade it for.  There are a couple of used Epiphone Sheratons in my area, and I might be able to work something out. I'm reluctant to part with the Les Paul since it's an older one and it'll keep its value, and likely go up.  It'd be nice to sell it for a lot of money 20 years from now.

Right on. Is your Les Paul a humbucker or P-90 model? If you're looking for a hollow body, I'd go with whatever you don't have with the Les Paul (if your LP is P-90, go for the humbucker driven Sheraton...if your LP is humbucker, then go for a P-90 powered Casino (the Elitists are great...the John Lennon Signature Model is harder to find, let alone at a great price...)... Haver fun shopping & good luck!!!

And just for the record here, I have lots of guitars partially because I waited & watched & tried loads out until I found guitars that were... a) at a great price (great deals = more guitars)... a great version/particular model of what I was looking for... & c) they had the mojo & magic & once I had them, that feeling great & I knew that things were meant to be with them (not always the case, even with some great guitars, that I discovered just weren't my guitars...)...

I just put my Jazzmaster away and pulled my Les Paul out from under the bed.  I forgot how unreasonably heavy that damn thing is.

Ever consider an SG? Or even an ES-335 (or 345 or 355 etc., etc., or if you want P-90 sound an ES-330 or Epiohone Casino?)?

I started with a Strat & added a Les Paul that I soon sold & replaced with a Jazzmaster. Those were my two electrics for many years (along with a Rick 360-12)... long story, after having to sell all my instruments around 2000, I finally went out &, over a few years, bought my personal dream guitar arsenal over these last couple years. I'm still more of a Fender guy, but less of a margin than before.

Having the chance I Fender'd first (Strat, Jazzmaster & finally found the right Tele), but then found the best P-90 powered guitar I've ever played (a great, high end, hard to find John Lennon Signature Epiphone Casino) & finally a Classic '57 humbucker driven '61 Reissue SG. While I'd put Les Paul's up there at the back end of the top guitars ever, for me, they are also the most overrated. Conversely I think the Jazzmaster is the single most underrated & that the SG is one of the top five most underrated too. If you haven't already, give some other Gibson's a shot!!! P-90 or humbucker powered the SG & ES line are really something to check out & compare vs. Les Pauls. Now go get that Jazzmaster back out!!

I've just started working in an acoustic duo (& will be playing solo some too soon)...and... Rochester's George Eastman House just purchased a print of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart". They contacted me to play acoustic, both before & after the showing, & then lined up a date at a local club for me for after the show. Great folks (thanks Ben Tucker- You Rock!!), so it looks like I'll be trying to get together a full electric band for that (October 3rd)!

I'll do some of my originals too (at the show at the club), but will be doing songs from the film & album the film is about ("Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"- for the film part of the gig, it'll be more of the well known, album proper, songs), but also the sessions for that album which produced lots of great material not on the regular album...and my final "meta" fun thing is to do covers of song that Wilco cover too. So it should be fun.

Solid Sound Night #1 (All Acoustic) Roadcase #47 is now available as part of a discount bundled set with Solid Sound Night #2  Roadcase #48

Now available as Roadcase #48... and in a discount bundled price with Solid Sound Night #1 (All Acoustic) Roadcase #47...

was surprised that Kidsmoke didn't make the set list.

Well maybe it's because they were, originally, apparently, saving it for night #2- as it was on the set list as one of the 4 encore songs of the sadly aborted due to the weather second encore that never happened ("Be Not So Fearful", "Thirteen", "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" & "Dreamer In My Dreams")... Although I agree that it's absolutely dynamite as either an acoustic or electric song.

The only they appear to have, kind of, repeated, is that they did the two different versions of "Kamera" (acoustic) & "Camera" (electric)...
