Beltmann Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm typing this during my conferences tonight I guess I got lucky. where/what do you teach?English, West Bend East. Typing during conferences? Man, I never get a break during conferences... it's four solid hours of conversation, and I usually end up staying late to meet with those at the end of the line. But I don't really mind--the nonstop meeting makes the time go by fast. (And I confess that I enjoy seeing the parents; there's usually a lot of laughing involved.)

chitaper Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Here's a mp3 teaser from last night, the sound in the ballroom does suck but the recording actually came out decent. I'll get the whole show torrented in 2 or 3 more days. I don't get a whole lot of free bandwidth, so grab it while you can! Hate It Here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

melkveg Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I was at the show in MKE and the sound at The Rave generally is terrible. If you think it was bad for Wilco, think of how bad it will be when hard rock/metal bands play there. However, the sound guy can only do so much. Since there's so much stuff for the sound to bounce off of in that place, it's almost impossible to get the vocals in that place clear or have a quality mix. It's oval, the roof has two separate ovals in it, there are marble columns all over, there's a balcony with chairs and tables, the floor is wood, the walls are masonry, etc., etc. Now despite the crap, and coming from a guy who's been to every Wilco show at the Rave (upstairs in the ballroom and downstairs in the smaller equally crappy sounding venue) this was by far the best sound mix I've heard and the tightest I've ever seen the band. They were white hot at points. I scored the set list, which was deviated from only in the second encore where Casino Queen was substituted for What Light. Probably given the frenzy the crowd was in, it was a good decision. This would be a fantastic show to have on disk. A great start to this segment of the fall tour. They need to play in the Riverside. I saw Ryan Adams there in Sept. and the sound quality was fantastic and his band was equally as white hot.

unposed_question Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Here's a very favorable review of the show from www.jsonline.com As you will see, the critic though the sound was better than usual. http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=673368 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chitaper Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I can't even get to the page--it never loads. Just white space.It's not a page, it's a direct link to the mp3. It's 5mb, so may take a while to d/l if you have a slow connection. Best to just right-click and save it to your HD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ehay Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I can't even get to the page--it never loads. Just white space. apple user? single button mouse: hold 'control' key while clicking- menu pops up- save to disk. . . when the torrent is available- i'll keep it seeding on my end for a while. . . .that way most everyone should get at it without killing all your bandwidth. they really cranked up the energy for kidsmoke, that was my favorite part of the show.
