Preferred B Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 You're welcome to use the picture. Of course I can't speak for Ms. Y, but I love the image of her being the sole audience member for this impromptu outdoor performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do have a good picture of Ms. Y to share, but right went I went to post it, my computer went totally crazy. (I'm on my roommate's computer now.) I'll post the photo as soon as I figure out what's wrong with my machine. Hopefully it's nothing too serious... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Laszlo Jamf Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 When are we allowed to start shamelessly begging for these tapes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 When are we allowed to start shamelessly begging for these tapes? any time after january 28th, so beg away! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 any time after january 28th, so beg away! For me there is no sense spending the time uploading and circulating a inferior recording. I would like to give Warner (the other taper) a chance to settle in after his week long Tweedy journey and transfer all the shows he taped and evaluate the quality of his and compare it to mine.I am not comfortable forcing the issue with Warner. I figure when he is ready and has time he will contact me or this board on the quality of his recording. The VC tracker down is anyway. Lately; for whatever reason, people have become vocally critical when shows are uploaded and not of a quality they seem to expect and demand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been playing catch up at work - I travel for my job which does not leave me a lot of home computer time. I will dig into the Marfa recording this weekend. It should sound pretty good even though the venue was a garage. I am worried there might be wind noise - yes we were inside but it was cold and they kept the door open which caused a serious draft. Before the show it was about 50 degrees outside and by the end of the show it was in the low 30's....brrrrr. To combat my side location I used the Neumann AK50 capsules instead of my normal AK40's (hypers versus cardioid). Keep your fingers crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't notice any wind in my recording from my perch but the floor was wood up there and was not very stable, so when ever the guy working the spot light; which was just below my stand would walk by it can be heard. i edited some of the louder thumps out of the recording but my opening set recording sounded much better when i taped from where you ended up. I should have ditched the mic stand and taped my mic bar to the facade of the cat walk. You warned me you were concerned about the floor of the cat walk. That damn martini i had at Jett's and the tequila i had at the mayor of Marfa's house "got me" I'm hoping you captured the magic a little better than me. i'll send you a copy of mine and you can decide which one is better.

Schwagg Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Is there any news on getting this audio uploaded? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MKHstudios Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Is there any news on getting this audio uploaded? the news is: unless you drove to marfa,tx recorded the show and plan on uploading it yourself... you are going to have to be patient badgering does not make things happen faster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The show is being evaluated by the tapers to determine the best quality source. With multiple sources there is no need to waste time releasing a inferior recording. You'll be happy in the end. "time was just a joke" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thejokeexplained Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Jeff got a outstanding review for the Marfa gig in this months No Depression Magazine. I'm not gonna type it all out and i can't find a link (everyone on this board should support this magazine anyway). This is how it starts: Think of Jeff Tweedy. Now think of how the edge of the earth might look:A vast ocean of grass and sky, maybe some ragged mountains in the distance. Now think of Jeff Tweedy playing a solo show there. That's just what happened on this night, when Tweedy's calendar of solo dates at big-city venues took a hiccup and landed the Wilco frontman in Marfa, Texas (pop. 2,424). "Marfa rules, by the way" Tweedy told the capacity crowd of 200. dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
