Best Live Downloads


Recommended Posts

Is there a consensus as to what are the best live downloads of Wilco that exist from the current tour or past tours? I speak specifically to sound quality as I have never seen or heard a show where the band was off. I would appreciate any and all best-show suggestions and where I can find them. Thanks.

I think there was a thread on this in After the Show earlier this year, August maybe. Folks posted their thoughts and suggestions. I'll try to do a search for it and post, unless Analogman beats me to it.

 

Plus - I can tell you after recently searching for Wilco shows on various BT sites, you are not going to find that many shows older than the last year or so. I did see some from the late 90s/early 00's - but not very many.

 

Another reason they should go with archive.org.

A lot of that stuff is streamed/available for download in mp3 on that site. I wouldn't think the AMan would be too fond of that...

 

That's the one thing I don't like about the place.

 

On the positive side - if the shows were up there, people who can't/won't bother with BT could just be sent there to get shows.

Correct. But some great shows are still gracefully available at the "Owl & the Bear" website http://www.owlandbear.com/live-downloads/

 

 

....and indeed using the great Archive.org site would be fantastic :w00t .

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not mandatory to upload the shows in mp3 format, so the source is preserved.

If anyone wants to create a Wilco section on Archive.org (provided Wilco management agree), I'd be happy to upload a lot of the shows I have (lossless) :thumbup .

That might be worth a new thread, isn't it ?

I'll have a look on Archive.org and see how this stuff works...

 

(Damn, check out the Ryan Adams section at Archive.org, 218 shows, mostly soundboards...!)
