cryptique Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 FYI http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=184125Thanks for the heads-up! Even if this doesn't turn out to be the best of the recordings, the description sounds decent enough, and it's FIRST! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoOneKnowsMe Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The deal is that was the third rudest audience i've ever been a part of. Talking, moving and drinking are all expected at concerts. I was on the second and then third tier and the noise was unbearable at points making the music unlistenable (please be patient with me and ALTWYS come to mind). Throughout the venue there were large groups of people pushing everywhere i don't think I went through a song without getting shoved (not bumped). I am all for the atmosphere of a club but last night was like being at a bar with were some shitty local band is playing. I could care less if these are new or old fans; people were just down right rude. I'm sure it was better for a lot of you folks who got up front but everywhere else was pretty noisy. I've been to some 20 wilco shows since 2004 ( a newb myself) and i never saw a crowd like the one last night and i've seen them all over the country. I remember on the Ghost is born tour being able to hear a pin drop during the quiet numbers. Last night was more then disheartening. For those upstairs was it any quieter? I'm going wed. and am hoping for a better crowd. As for the music the band played great. The oldies sounded great esp. Why Would You wanna live? and Can't Stand It!I think the issue may just be proximity to the speakers. In the balcony, the music wasn't Oh My God I can't hear myself loud. It was a nice volume, with a beautiful mix. However, the problem is, when it isn't that loud, you can really hear the talkers. It does get obnoxious, but that's not because there are more or less of them, it's because the music isn't as loud up there. At least that's what I think. There was a lot of talking, but maybe it was just because I could hear it better because I was farther away from the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H.Stone Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Oh! And aside from the great company at the bar after Friday night's show, at about 1:30 am Nels came in and I was wearing my "Nels Cline Gave Me The Chicken Pox" t-shirt. There weren't many people left at the bar, so I walked up to him and said, "I have to show you this." He said, "Where can I get one of those?!" Ummmm.... you're Nels Cline, are you kidding?! He asked if I would walk over and show a couple of his friends, etc. So I added, "I'd like to have you sign it some time, but I don't have a pen with me." He whipped a Sharpie out of his pocket, and now the chicken w/ pox on my shirt has a cute thought bubble that says "Nels" in the middle with a heart. What a good guy.

cryptique Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Also - I generated a MD5 checksum file thingHowdjoo do that? (I'm a bit rusty at this seeding thing.) Is that something I should have included in the seed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Howdjoo do that? (I'm a bit rusty at this seeding thing.) Is that something I should have included in the seed? Well - I am also. The deal is - dime will ban you if you do not have certain things in an upped torrent. I have never upped a show there - I have probably upped a couple hundred torrents by now - but, uh, not live shows at dime. I don't think I needed to make one - my bad. DIME requires you to include checksum files in your torrents. You must provide a checksum file in the .md5 filetype for a torrent without FLAC content, and either a fingerprint file in the .ffp filetype (not .ffp.txt but .ffp) or a checksum file in the .md5 filetype for a torrent with FLAC content. information Quote Link to post Share on other sites
