I saw that show in the video. It was a lot of fun. Also, saw them at Double Door in Chicago for their record (10" vinyl) release show. Both shows were captured on video and audio by the band. I don't think I've ever seen John with a wider grin on his face. The live band also included Mark Greenberg (one of the engineers on The Whole Love and new Loft manager). "Trouble's Coming Down" is on frequent rotation in my office. Little Steven voted that track 'song of the week' one week, last year. At the live shows John sang lead on a great cover of The Who's "Armenia City in the Sky".

I hear Jeff has been keeping his chops up by playing suburban living rooms all across Chicago.

I deduced the direct link to the SoundCloud hosted mp3 they are streaming. The URL changes periodically, so it will expire quickly. I use the Network tab of the Chrome browser web dev inspector to get the link. Anyone can use that.

This link will expire quickly, but it is a direct link to an mp3 of 1/24 Right/Ctrl-Click and do the Save-As Thing

Steven Versaw is the former drummer of The M's and 1/2 of the duo Walter & Wendell. He is also Wilco's production manager/monitor engineer. He's slated to release his debut solo EP this spring on his own Movings Label. Check out some sweet slide work on the title track at: http://themovingslabel.com/ If you like what you hear d/l the track and/or tell your friends. I built this page for Steve and really want to help him get his music heard.

Did you check your spam folder? Automated response emails like that sometimes get caught in a spam filter. It is the Civic Opera version from 12/12/2011, btw.

I vividly remember attending that show. Sitting in the grass close to the stage. They were only two guys on a big stage in front of a somewhat large and spread out crowd in Welles Park. I think I remember the sun setting behind them as they played. I was so glad when this sbd recording started circulating. It sure is a fun listen and illustrates quite a different era for Wilco/Tweedy.

Wilco switched web companies and launched a new web site. I suspect that was an oversight. I would email the general email on their web site: hq@wilcoworld.net.

The Sansonic one.
