  1. Hi Friends - I have finally updated the Tweedy Show mp3 archive (over 2,000 song files). All files have been meticulously logged and tagged so they can be easily filtered, searched, and sorted - in iTunes or similar. 

     

    Please email me at wilcovault@gmail.com to request the download link (please keep private and only share with friends/family). 

     

    My long term goal is to do a similar treatment for all the files in the Owl and Bear archive!

  2. Hi Friends -

     

    I've been thinking about trying to assemble a network of a few folks from each state/country who are willing to record audio at shows and usually attend every Wilco/Jeff Tweedy live show in their area.

     

    Experience in audio recording is not required. You could use anything from a pro recording setup - to using the voice memo app on an iPhone. The goal is simply to ensure a complete archive of shows going forward. I would make the recordings privately available to the online Wilco fan communities.

     

    To join the network: email wilcovault@gmail.com with the state you live in (or country if outside of USA) or fill out this form: https://wilcovault.wufoo.com/forms/z1e5rhwh0vfcnsl/

     

    Wilco officially allows fan recordings at venues that allow it. Their policy is here:

    Seems like a good day to start this project since seems like the show tonight will not be made available virtually. 


    Thanks!

     

    PS - The Tweedy Show mp3 archive is still available. I've removed the request form, but simply email wilcovault@gmail.com if you'd like me to send the download link. 

    Note: This is a fan project not affiliated with Wilco or Jeff Tweedy

     

  3. Hi Friends -

     

    I think it's time to make the Tweedy Show mp3 archive privately available to everybody on the Wilco forums! I've managed to keep up with logging both video and mp3 files on a monthly basis - and it's become a massive trove of over 1,000 full songs. 

     

    I am not affiliated with Wilco or The Tweedy Show. Since it looks like many of the screen recordings are freely shared on YouTube - I feel sharing this archive is within the spirit of the band's open bootleg sharing policy. This is a fan passion project with the goal of savings the songs for posterity and making them easily accessible and sortable for fans everywhere. Please only share these files privately among your friends and family. I hope it brings joy to the fans and makes it easier to discover and enjoy songs from this pandemic era silver lining.

     

    In an effort to prevent a flood of messages, please submit your email here and I will send you a private download link - the files total about 8GB.

    The Liner Notes:

     

    -Every effort has been made to include the full start and ending of each song - even if some talking overlapped with the intro or outro. In most cases, post-song cheering has been omitted. 

    -Metadata has meticulously been assigned to each song. This makes it easy to sort by episode, song title, artist, and composer in iTunes or similar.

    -Raccoonists has been used to indicate Jeff, Spencer, and Sammy playing together.

    -For all other performer combinations - the "Artist" tag indicates the main singer first.

    -Spencer's "thigh slaps" are not indicated in the "Artist" tag

    -The "composer" tag has been used to indicate the original artist (for example, the original artist for covers). It also makes it very easy to sort Wilco vs. Jeff Tweedy vs. Tweedy originals. You may have to turn on this sorting column in iTunes.

    -The "Special Features" folder includes lots of extras - including all the partial fragments of songs. These were separated - since I realize many folks might only want full songs in their iTunes libraries. Seemingly improvised songs are also organized in a dedicated folder. You will also find a folder of unknown fragments of songs and if you can identify any of these, please email wilcovault@gmail.com

    -If you find any errors or omissions to this archive, please email Brian at wilcovault@gmail.com

    -All episodes were ripped from Instagram using Wondershare UniConverter, converted to MOV format, edited in iMovie, and converted to high quality MP3 using Wondershare UniConverter again. Audio quality varies - I believe it gets better as the show continues, probably due to several improving factors like phone, wifi, and app quality. 

     

    Long live The Tweedy Show!

  4. For anybody who missed it - here is the supercut of Sammy walking through the doorway that I put together and was mentioned on the show. This includes every time I could find that Sammy literally walks in through the doorway - this doesn't include instances where Susie missed Sammy walking in. I think it's about 63 times but who's counting :)

  5. Here's the updated rare song checklist for anyone who missed it on Facebook. 

     

    Some notes:
    -I removed “Sandusky”, and have not added “Two Guitars” from the recent Summerteeth deluxe set. I’m guessing we won’t be hearing anything that requires x2 lead guitars on the Tweedy show.
     
    -I removed “I Don’t Like The Way This World’s A-Treatin’ Me” - this is an interesting composite recording with Woody on vocals and Jeff on guitar. I’m removing it since Jeff doesn’t sing and probably should have not be on the list previously.
     
    -I have not added “Tried and True” - since this is a variation of Summer Teeth
     
    -I have not added “Can’t Locator It” - since this is a variation of Locator
     
    -The last rare song was played all the way back on Episode 127 - What’s The World Got In Store (Dec 10th). Understandably we seem to be slowing down - but hold out hope! I’ll update this sheet again before episode 200, but anything not played by episode x200 might be considered “non-canon” for The Tweedy Show (understandably: mostly complex/synth heavy songs, piano forward songs, duets, and songs Jeff has decided to never played solo for whatever reason). I think there’s solid hope for maybe another x10-20 of these to get played, but maybe not much more.
     
    -Jeff played my last request after posting this list before episode x100 (Long Time Ago - Golden Smog)! If anybody is reading this from the Tweedy inner circle - my new request is “Wherever” the Uncle Tupelo rarity - and/or Hesitation Rocks (Racoonists can rock this!) - and/or “Shady Lane” by Pavement (which was played very briefly by Jeff back in episode 58).
     
    -Lost Episodes: I believe #14 is truly lost, though one recording of a recording exists of the Billie Eilish song - if anybody has more, please let me know. I believe #79 was recorded but Susie never uploaded to YouTube (would love to get ahold of this). #124.5 health update was also recorded but removed due to a privacy concern (would love for Susie to make this available with the offending scene removed - especially to hear those cool instrumentals again).
     
    -I’ve isolated and tagged every song played on The Tweedy Show into a video clip and mp3 audio file (over 1,000 complete song audio files, and even more partial performances!). This show has been an incredible gift for the clients and I felt the need to archive everything for future client enjoyment! This was a massive time investment and would not have been feasible without the hard work of Kristofor Georgeou for doing the show outlines and Monty Smith for the song spreadsheet!

     

    -The isolated audio files drop in very nicely to iTunes and can be organized in many creative ways (for example, you can sort separately by “composer” (which is the tag I am using to organize the original cover artists), artist (for example, great way to find Jeff solo performances vs. Jeff and Sammy performances, etc.), song title, and date played, etc.
     
    -I’d like to find a way to share the mp3 files with everybody…though would only do this with permission from the Tweedys. If anybody can get in touch with them for approval, let me know - It’s almost 10GB for the mp3 archive, so I’m wondering if anybody has any creative solutions to sharing these without hitting bandwidth limits? I've heard Google Drive has somewhere between a 1TB and 10TB download limit per day for hosting, so that's probably the best solution?
     
     
     
     

    Tweedy Show Rare List_Feb 13_2021.jpg

  6. Hi Friends - here is this week's updated Tweedy Show checklist. I've made some updates. Fixed several formatting errors. Added a few missing songs: Drawing From Memory (Warmer vinyl bonus track) & Life Story (the audiobook exclusive). Added dark blue to indicate songs that were either partially played or sung mostly by Sammy/Spencer. Also - added in the list of possible new original songs that have debuted on the show: Baby You're So Miserable, A Robin Or A Wren, Guess Again, Natural Disaster, Save It For Me, Tell Your Friends, & Half Life (there's possibly one more in episode 2, but not sure the name of it). Looks like Jeff is now looking at some kind of list during the show to remind him of songs to play-hoping he continues to play rare songs from his catalog and avoid repeats. Let me know if I've missed anything and I'll update again on Sunday or Monday.

  7. Hi Friends - I put together this song guide, partially to have as a companion when watching the Tweedy Show. It covers every original song Jeff has either officially released or played live solo + every “Tweedy” song + every cover song that Jeff has officially released. It does not include all live covers or songs Jeff does not sing lead vocals on or songs that are largely experimental or instrumentals. I’ve counted them all up from the solo setlist archives and organized them by album/project & in descending order (most played to least played). There are some surprising findings here - including some great songs Jeff has never played live solo (that I know of). Red indicates songs Jeff has never played solo. Green indicates songs Jeff has played on the Tweedy Show. Blue indicates songs that have premiered on the Tweedy Show. Hopefully we can get some more rarities and deep cuts played on the Tweedy Show! I’m sure I’ve made some mistakes - so let me know and I’ll get this updated periodically! *I realize the text might be a bit small - email me and I can send you a hi-res version - wilcovault@gmail.com

     

    ***Updated the checklist after finding a few mistakes and formatting errors - and adding info from tonight's show. (Song counts were wrong on a few songs on A.M, Sukirae, and Uncle Tupelo. Added in a Loose Fur song that didn't make it on the records, but Jeff performed live (Millionaire). Added a few unreleased YHF era songs - Nothing Up My Sleeve, Alone, Venus Stop the Train, Let Me Come Home, Corduroy Cutoff Girl (alternate version of radio cure), Never Let You Down, and Monkey Mess. Finally, added a song Jeff performed a few times called "My Words" in 2003 and 2005 - I think this is an original unreleased song, but not sure. I've also included a possible unreleased new song called "Tell your Friends" from tonight's show. Will try to update and share this every Sunday going forward as long as The Tweedy Show is on!
