Seeking "Not For the Season" audio

[corduroy]

New to the Wilco blog...

 

Wondering if anyone can point me in a direction where I can get an audio copy of "Not For the Season" - ideally the the same recording that's on "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart"

 

Much thanks!

Do you mean Jeff Tweedy solo? If so, then it's a regular song for many of his live, solo acoustic shows.

 

Do you mean full band? If so, a version is on both the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Demos as well as the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Engineer Demos. There is no overlap between either of these compilations. Or, if you want a live, full band version of the song, it's in a few live bootlegs.

 

All three of these possibilities have been posted by Via Chicago Forum user owl on his site, The Owl & The Bear. At least a few of the several bootlegs posted have that song on them, both in the Wilco category as well as the Jeff Tweedy category.

 

By the way, the song is also known as "Laminated Cat", and Tweedy brought it back for the opening cut on the first Loose Fur record, with Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche. Sometimes this is how it is listed on bootlegs, although my personal rules for naming go like this:

 

If three or more Wilco members plays it, I label it "Not For The Season".

If Jeff Tweedy plays it alone, I label it "Not For The Season".

If Loose Fur plays it (Tweedy, Kotche, and Jim O'Rourke), then I label it "Laminated Cat".

If Tweedy and Kotche play it alone, I label it "Laminated Cat".

What is the naming convention when Jeff plays it with fans?

This is my favorite version ...
