  1. bonuses: unexpected jhamm visit at charlotte!

     

    :lol It was nice to say hello again!

     

    One very stellar moment for me - seeing Jeff Tweedy and my 2 year old daughter dance together as he played No More Poetry earlier this year. My wife and I were nearly in panic mode, but then he started imitating her dance moves and went along with her! It was an amazing, amazing moment! A small part of me wishes I had pulled out a camera, but it's a moment I won't forget.

  2. Definitely not mine. I would never render a 90+ minute show to 1.26 gigabytes. I'm not knocking the uploader, but there's something wrong with those numbers. Just based on the file sizes, the quality can't be that good.

     

    On another note, if anyone ever wants to torrent one of my DVDs, please do so. Let me know if you need the disc. I don't do torrents myself because I don't have the best internet connection.

  3. I have a DVD completed of this show. Just haven't been able to get the site updated but it's done. I used an HD recording of the show so it looks sharp. Also included the extended interview from the ACL website and appearances from Leno, Letterman, and Jools Holland. When I get a chance, I'll update the site.

  4. Setlist for the episode -

     

    1. You Are My Face

    2. Handshake Drugs

    3. Side With The Seeds

    4. Via Chicago

    5. Impossible Germany

    6. Sky Blue Sky

    7. Too Far Apart

    8. Hate It Here

    9. Walken

    10. I'm The Man Who Loves You

    11. On And On And On

     

    I'll try and post some clips this week if someone doesn't beat me to it.

  5. Yeah... I missed a few seconds too, since I kept trying to restart the webcast. But didn't they start webcasting part way into the song anyway?

     

    Are you going to upload yours? I'm not sure if it's better... probably splitting hairs, they will be very close

     

    I'm pretty sure they missed the start of IATTBYH. My computer was looking for a connection to the stream the entire time it was down and popped up at that point.

     

    My copy is one large file. I never stopped recording because I wasn't sure when they'd air the first few songs. I can upload the one file at some point today or tomorrow though. Looks fairly good, I think.

  6. I had the pleasure of enjoying Blue Mountain play last night at the Town Pump Tavern in Black Mountain, NC. A most awesome show!! A conservative estimate would put them playing about three and a half hours and about 40 songs. They took a couple of breaks but played from 9:30 until 2 in the morning. Not only was it long, but it was very impressive. One of the best concerts I've seen in recent times. If you can catch them on this reunion tour, please do.

  7. I have this recorded on my handheld satellite radio. I've listened to it and it sounds pretty good, but I don't know if the quality is any better/worse thru a DVR or anything else. I can try and transfer it this weekend if all else fails and no other copies arise.

  8. I think Kicking Television got played on MTV2 maybe 3 or 4 times total. Jesus, Etc. got played a couple of times also. I'm pretty sure A Shot In The Arm was never aired in this country. The only copy in circulation is from the Rage show in Australia. Someone here sent that to me a long, long time ago and I forget who it was. Been so long ago.

  9. --of special note: VC star sighting: jhamm! a total bonus on the night!

     

    :lol I'm glad somebody knew there was a star in the house.

     

    Very much a last minute decision to go and I'm glad I made the 2.5 hour drive each way. It was a great, great show, as everyone else has mentioned. I think this is the best incarnation of Wilco and it continues to show.

  10. I have a DVD done of this. I included the 2 songs from Jools Holland's show, What Light from Letterman, and both VW commercials. If someone wants to do a tree or something, let me know. I'm swamped under B&Ps right now or I'd do it myself.

  11. How? I normally use Ook Video Ook or VideoDownloader with Firefox for FLVs, but they wouldn't work with these.

     

    I used URL Helper and HiDownload and had no problems at all.

  12. For better or worse, commercial TV has become one of the few public forums where you'll occasionally hear snippets of good music.

     

    The radio? not so much.

     

    I forget who it was (I'm thinking it was John Mellencamp), but they said something along the lines that the best way for some bands to garner attention to their new CD is for their songs to be used in commercials. The VW commercials definitely won't make me want to go buy a new car but I think it's another avenue to advertise a new CD, somewhat like moxiebean says.
