I'm typing this during my conferences tonight :lol 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.)

I definately think there is something to the fact that we teachers/Wilco fans are all HS Engilsh teachers :cheers

 

 

OH boy! What is it with the english teachers? :worship

 

I'm sure glad my taste in music has been validated :thumbup

 

Maybe we could have wilco play the next English Fest, or have a poetry reading prior to the show. :shifty

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!

This will great--thanks! But I can't get the link to work... :mellow

Toss me into the English teacher mix. I have hit 20+ Wilco shows, and I have been at MPS for the past 15 years doing the literature and grammar thing.

SWEET. How do we get the rest of the tracks? Is it posted somewhere? Also, where do I see that poster art? I would have loved to buy one and support the members of the board's artistic endeavors..

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.

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.

Thanks for taping and sharing. Can you share where you'll torrent so we can keep an eye out?
