tugmoose Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Does that make me a bad fan? Especially considering I own a bunch of Wilco boots. And I used to record shows. Frankly, I'm afraid I'll listen once, say "that's nice" and never listen again. Also, I never bought the Loose Fur CDs - actually, I might have the 1st one, I can't remember.

Also, I never bought the Loose Fur CDs - actually, I might have the 1st one, I can't remember. i only listened to it a few times when i got it. it was great but thr song selection leans heavily on the last 2 albums... those good quality audience recordings give a much better representation of what the shows are like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pickleboiler Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes. You're a miserable fan. Burn your record collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheelco Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 well, I bought it, but have only played the whole thing maybe 3 times most of the time if I'm listening to Wilco it is the albums or some various shows I have It's a pretty good CD overall though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ponch1028 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 There are a few of tracks that I think are excellent on KT. Hell Is ChromeHandshake DrugsAshes of American FlagsComment (If All Men Are Truly Brothers) Otherwise, I tend to glean from other shows from that period. I do like the Monday bonus track I got from Itunes or somewhere (can't remember) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 KT can wait, but you must buy the Loose Fur records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After the Wichita gig i met Jeff to get some feedback from the AGIB tour comp i authored and I that i gave the band a copy back in early 2005. After asking him if he got a chance to give it a listen he replied he remembered it as a three disc set; it is actually four disc if you count the covers and tv appearances thats on disc four. And he thought it a nice gesture, but he said he can't listen to live Wilco music. He appreciates the effort of us tapers but that's for us to enjoy he has no interest in hearing himself sing for his own enjoyment. He even said it's nothing against audience recordings because he can't even listen to his own "Kicking Television" release. I thank him for his honesty. If Jeff Tweedy is anything he is honest to himself and to his fans. IMO a rare thing in the entertainment industry today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MunkyKayse Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 KT can wait, but you must buy the Loose Fur records. Sweet. I already own Born Again. Fabulous record, but too short! It could have used a couple more songs. As for Kicking Television, I'm not really partial to live recordings. Don't know why, since Wilco gives the best live performances I ever heard. I think I would just rather see them live and listen to their studio recordings over and over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I won't judge how good a fan you are, haha. I do think it should be pointed out that KT sounds WAY better than the boots I've gotten my hands on. That's nothing against the bootlegs, I sure am glad to hear em! But there really is a difference in quality. You really probably should get the new Loose Fur. You might not realize it yet, but you really want it. Buy it, you'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pickleboiler Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Huge difference in quality. The tapers are nice and some of them worth owning, but it takes a superfan to listen to that shit a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I never bought the Loose Fur cd's because nobody around me carries them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harold Pinto Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I've never bought a Wilco record, I just listen to bootlegs of shows. I find it a more pure way to listen to them. No middleman or record company in between. I wish they sounded better though. They should think about playing a show with no audience and then bootlegging that.

mountain bed Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 If nothing else,I like to cue up the Poor Places->Spiders & turn it up LOUD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pickleboiler Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 amazon.com itunes... It's not hard to buy Loose Fur. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Picador Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I love KT and listen to it regularly. Nels Cline shines on Muzzle of Bees and his lap steel on One by One is simply beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
napoleon Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 i loveeeeeee it to death. i used to listen to it all the time before i realized people taped shows. i wish they had released the dvd version too. maybe one day they will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wehideandseek Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The tapers are nice and some of them worth owning... I'm worth owning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No middleman or record company in between. Also no $$ going to the band. One of the arguments in favor of allowing taping is that fans will still buy the albums. I think it's a gesture of good will to hold up that end of the bargain. I wish they sounded better though. They should think about playing a show with no audience and then bootlegging that. With no audience, who would bootleg it!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
