Oh and i'd like to add that if someone can record it directly from FM, rather than the internet feed, it'll be vastly better sound-wise. I know that most people here know that already, but I'd thought i'd point that out anyway, in case someone here who is new to this kind of thing would like to try. I usually record from the FM to the pc using a sound recorder. One time, i recorded from the FM to my Sony double deck cd recorder, and that turned out great too. I would imagine that someone on this board, or somewhere else will record this and hopefully share it.
For selfish reasons, I wish 'XRT would broadcast Saturday's show instead. It's the only one, that barring me getting ahold of a ticket, that i won't be at.
-
Cool! Usually i record these things for myself and other Wilco fans to enjoy for posterity, but since I'm going to be at the show, I hope someone else can record the feed and share it with all of us!
-
I sent you an email as well. I'd love to get one Sat. ticket. Thanks!
-
Hello,
I'm hoping that maybe one of you kind VCers could help me out. I've been looking for one ticket to the Saturday show at the Riv. I have one ticket to the other 4 shows, and i would like to see them all. Please let me know if any of you have a ticket to spare. thank you.

Dodd dropped out.
Biden, too.

There is a companion coffee table book to the boxed set that was also released on Tues. I'm a big fan, so i picked up both the book and the DVD set at Best Buy. The book has the same name and picture cover as the boxed set and is about 240 pages long. There's some really cool pictures in the book. The DVD set is terrific! It's well worth picking that one up, in my opinion.
-
I thought I'd put this here, since people may have missed this in the After The Show thread.
Tonight's Wilco show, in San Diego, will be broadcast on the radio. You can click the link below to listen to it on the web.
-
If anybody in this radio station's listening area can record this directly off the radio, that would be great!
I'll be recording the stream of the concert in any case.

Vick's story sick, but it's far from only one
By Barry Rozner | Daily Herald Columnist
Published: 8/22/2007 12:23 AM
The Michael Vick story represents one of the most depraved and deplorable moments in sports history.
If you're not completely sickened yet, watch the current edition of HBO's "Real Sports,'' which spotlights the horrifying world of dog fighting.
And, yes, for the record, I love dogs.
But I love women and children, too, and have to admit to being stunned by the outrage over Vick's crimes in relation to the lack of protest over domestic violence by athletes.
Especially, when an abusive husband or boyfriend is unlikely to spend much -- if any -- time in jail, while Vick is thought to be going away for at least a year.
"What Michael Vick did is horrible, and I can't imagine anyone having any reaction other than that,'' said Leigh Goodmark, an associate professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, and director of its Family Law Clinic.
"I'm not suggesting we should care more about women than dogs or equate the two in any way, but it oversimplifies to say women have free will and dogs don't.
"The assumption that a battered woman can get up and leave with no ramifications is ridiculous. It flies in the face of everything we know about battered women.''
Meanwhile, the incidents in sports pile up by the dozens each year, and many pass quietly after an initial reaction.
The Rockies' Bobby Chouinard, for example, held a loaded gun to his wife's head and served a one-year sentence -- but in three-month increments during off-seasons.
Phillies pitcher Brett Myers allegedly dragged his wife around by the hair on a Boston street in front of witnesses. He still pitched the next day at Fenway Park, and was later granted a paid leave of absence.
The Buccaneers' Michael Pittman was indicted three years ago on two counts of aggravated assault for intentionally ramming his Hummer into a car carrying his wife and 2-year-old son.
It was the fourth time Pittman had been arrested on domestic-abuse charges, but his wife, Melissa, told police there were 30 or 40 others that she never reported.
Pittman got a three-game suspension.
There have been calls for Vick to be suspended for life.
"Penalties for animal abuse are still greater than penalties for domestic violence in some states,'' Goodmark said. "The Vick story has been the biggest in sports for two months, and I understand he's a big star, but (Carolina's) Rae Carruth was found guilty of conspiring to murder his pregnant girlfriend (in 2001), and after that you never heard much about it, or the need for more domestic-violence prevention in sports.''
According to endabuse.org, citing statistics from, among other sources, the U.S. Department of Justice, from 1 million to 3 million women per year are physically abused in the United States; on average, more than three women are murdered by husbands or boyfriends in this country every day; and homicide is the leading cause of death for pregnant women.
"The most dangerous moment in her life is when a woman leaves an abusive relationship,'' Goodmark said. "Physical abuse is part of the system of control, and when she says she's leaving, she's saying, 'You don't control me anymore.' That's the time he intensifies the abuse to ensure he doesn't lose control.
"The reality is many women do leave and many are abused or killed.''
It has been suggested that wives of rich athletes often don't press charges or leave their husbands because they don't want to give up the good life.
"There are a lot of reasons they don't leave, be it religious, housing, economics or children,'' Goodmark said. "Killing children is one of the ultimate expressions of hatred and control. He takes away the thing that matters more to her than anything else.
"The worst are the ones who kill the kids and leave the mom alive so that it hurts even more. Don't think that some of these women who don't leave haven't been told that if they leave, the husband or boyfriend will kill the children.
"It's just sad that with everything we know, someone would say that these women deserve what they get for staying.''
When pro wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife and strangled his 7-year-old son before killing himself, nearly every story was about how steroids played a part in the violence.
There was no outrage over a murdered mom, over the death of an innocent child.
And a national survey of more than 6,000 American families found that 50 percent of men who frequently assaulted their wives also frequently abused their children.
The book "Pros and Cons: The Criminals Who Play in the NFL'' reported the most prevalent crime among NFL players was domestic violence.
"As a sports fan, and as an advocate for battered women,'' Goodmark said, "it's hard to find a team to root for.''
This is in no way meant to diminish Vick's crime, but it seems fair to wonder why there's a conspicuous lack of outrage when we hear about athletes torturing women.
And whether a battered woman today matters less than a dog.

Apparently they have decided to make tonight's webcast public as well. No SBS cd is needed to listen. At least that's what the tech guy in the Wilcoworld chat room said last night.
I'm listening to the stream right now. Richard Swift is playing

I got in. Section 101, row R.
Wow that was an interesting experience....i tried the jammail presale first right at 10:00, and i got section 101 tickets. The order did not go through, and when i got back in line, all i could get was lawn seats. So i then tried the WXRT presale, and i was able to get the seat that i did. I feel lucky that i got a second chance.
I just wondering aloud if they are gonna have better tickets available for the general sale tomorrow. I might try again then.

If there is a password, could somebody please pm me? Thanks

FLAC. files of that performance are up at dimeadozen, recorded from the original broadcast.

It's the "perfect storm" of promotional need.
Paul: Memory Almost Full
Yoko: Working Class Hero/Darfur album
Olivia: Wilbury reissues
Ringo: Caveman - Deluxe 25th Anniversary Commerative DVD
Actually, I have no idea what Ringo is selling. I'd like to think it's the Caveman DVD.
Paul's back catalog has also been reissued on itunes and will be reissued in stores soon.
Here is what Ringo is promoting:

RINGO STARR'S EMI CATALOG ALBUMS TO DEBUT DIGITALLY ON AUGUST 28, NEW ALBUM AND BEST OF DISC ANNOUNCED
06/18/07 - Starr's First-Ever Career-Spanning Hits Collection Presents His Best Solo Tracks In CD, Collector's Edition CD/DVD and Digital Packages
CD and Digital Album Tracklist Includes Seven Top 10 Pop Singles; Collector's Edition DVD Adds Seven Previously Unreleased Promotional Film and Video Clips
Liverpool 8, Starr's next solo album, is scheduled for global release by EMI Music in January 2008, via Capitol/EMI in North America and Parlophone in the U.K.
Hollywood, California - June 18, 2007 - Since he first began his career in the 1960s with The Beatles, Ringo Starr has been one of the world's brightest musical luminaries. On August 28, Starr's four EMI Music catalog albums, Sentimental Journey (1970), Beaucoups Of Blues (1970), the platinum-certified Ringo (1973) and gold-certified Goodnight Vienna (1974) will make their global digital release debuts across all of the world's major digital sales providers. On the same date, six Ringo Starr ringtones will also debut, and Capitol/EMI Music Catalog Marketing will release the first-ever career and label-spanning collection of Starr's best solo recordings, PHOTOGRAPH: The Very Best Of Ringo Starr.
Starr's EMI catalog will be available in digital form for the first time on a global basis. Fans will be able to purchase Starr's EMI catalog works from all of EMI's digital distribution partners, and the titles will also be part of EMI's premium download offering (free of digital rights management and in a higher-quality bit rate) from participating retailers.
To be released physically in CD and Collector's Edition CD/DVD packages and digitally, PHOTOGRAPH: The Very Best Of Ringo Starr presents 20 standout Starr tracks, including seven Top 10 Pop hits, released between 1970 and 2005 with Capitol, Atlantic, Mercury, Boardwalk, Private Music and Koch. The Collector's Edition adds seven never before released film and video clips on DVD, including original promotional films for "It Don't Come Easy," "Sentimental Journey," "Back Off Boogaloo," among others, and the music video for "Act Naturally" (with Buck Owens).
The world has known and loved Ringo Starr since he was a Beatle, and it is his unique talent and his love of creating and playing music that continues to captivate fans around the world, and which shines through in every one of his songs. "Ultimately, what's most impressive about Ringo Starr isn't what he's been, but rather who he is," said Rolling Stone magazine Contributing Editor David Wild. "The man's great heart and soul, his wit and wisdom." A liner notes essay by Wild is complemented by a selection of classic Starr photos in PHOTOGRAPH: The Very Best Of Ringo Starr's 12-page booklets. The CD will be released in a jewelcase, while the Collector's Edition will be presented in a deluxe fold-out digipak package.
PHOTOGRAPH: The Very Best Of Ringo Starr celebrates the legacy of this iconic and universally loved artist. Covering the full scope of Starr's solo career, the new collection's seven Top 10 Pop hits include "It Don't Come Easy," "Photograph," "Oh My My," "Snookeroo," "Back Off Boogaloo," "Only You (And You Alone)," and his playful and now tongue-in-cheek "No-No Song." Also included are "Act Naturally" (with Buck Owens), "You're Sixteen (You're Beautiful and You're Mine)," and the critically acclaimed "Weight of the World" and "Fading In and Fading Out."

"It's good to be back," said Ringo Starr. "It feels like home, just like Liverpool 8."
"We're thrilled Ringo's returning to Capitol/EMI -- the place where he started his solo career -- and delighted he will again be part of EMI's current roster around the globe," said Ronn Werre, President of EMI Music Marketing. "EMI is excited and privileged to work with Ringo to bring fans both his new recordings and his catalog, and we look forward to debuting his works in the digital format for the first time as well."
Although he was first known around the world as The Beatles' drummer, throughout more than 45 years as a global entertainment icon, Ringo Starr has enjoyed a successful and dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter and drummer, an active musical collaborator, and as an actor. Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country and rock 'n' roll, Starr continues to play an important role in modern music with his solo recording and touring.
"Ultimately, what's most impressive about Ringo Starr isn't what he's been, but rather who he is," says Rolling Stone magazine Contributing Editor David Wild. "The man's great heart and soul, his wit and wisdom."
Starr's next solo album, titled Liverpool 8, is scheduled for global release by EMI Music in January 2008, via Capitol/EMI in North America and Parlophone in the U.K.

Well it turns out that this webcast was over before it started, so i was not able to get a recording.
-
I'm over in the Wilcoworld chat room right now, and it looks as if there is no stream as of yet.
I'm getting a little worried.
-
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE RECORD THIS!!! I'll be at the show, and i would LOVE a copy of this!!!
done and done

Although the assertion that John Cougarcamp took a huge hit on record sales due to the extremely overplayed and annoying "Our Country" for the truck ad is telling. I'd be willing to bet that there are Cougar fans who have been turned off to him completely because of the incessant playing of that sound clip. If all one can think of when hearing him now is the truck...well, I think he's damaged his career to an extent.
I just think there's some truth that hearing a song (or part of it) repeatedly in a commercial will generally replace any former primary association with that song, or possibly even the band. This isn't to say I agree or disagree with Wilco's use of their own tunes, just that there are some real and potential consequences that may occur that may not be favorable to the band or some fans in the end.
I think that even Mellencamp's die-hard fans were pissed off at him for the whole Chevy deal because, like Tom Petty and Neil Young, he had been saying over and over for years that people shouldn't license their songs for commercials. Then after he gave up "Our Country" to Chevy, he was quoted in a NY Times interview as saying something along the lines of "I still don't feel that people should use their songs in commercials." As a casual Mellencamp fan I lost a lot of respect for him after that. He came across as the worst kind of hypocrite. John Lennon once said:"If it don't feel right, don't do it." I don't feel any anger at Wilco for doing the VW ad, since it doesn't seem like this is any kind of a reversal of the band's core beliefs. They have done this before, its just that now people are noticing it.

The 5/20 webcast is also supposed to be available by accessing the bonus content of SBS. That's the show with Bill Fay. It's not up yet, though. Until then, We can all just enjoy hearing this!
-
are good copies floating around or is this still a rip of that radio's stream?
The version currently on Oink is a high-quality rip, possibly from a retail copy of the cd. It's certainly not the radio rip.
I'm really enjoying this album.
-
Hmm...very interesting. The person at the center of this whole VC debate has gone all Prince on us and changed his name to a symbol. I guess he's officially "The Non-Commercial Artist Formerly Known As jnickerson." now?

AOL has a strange video file format that makes them difficult to capture. I don't want to say its impossible, but i haven't found anything yet that can do it. I love for someone to be able to capture it.
I could, at least, capture the audio.

You can download it here, if you have bit torrent.

I will be. It's been awhile since i've hooked up my FM to the PC, so i don't know if i'll be able to do that in time. If nothing else, i should be able to get the web feed.
