Lynch Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I am having a horrible morning at work, but this thread cheered me up. I can't wait until May 1st and 2nd!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
auctioneer69 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Wow all the photos you've upped are stunning. Thanks for sharing! Incredible photos mate. You need to send these to the band. The one of Glenn taking a bow would like brilliant on the Wilco website Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Hapablap Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 mp3's, no. am happy to torrent the full show in flac on etree, but so far i've had all of 1 person mention they want it - so i'm not exactly in a rush, what with work and sleep getting in the way. Even though I recorded the webcast, I'd also like to see a FLAC. version of your recording...once you've gotten some sleep and have the time to put it together, of course. The webcasts can't be circulated as a torrent, and having any Australian show circulate is kind of rare for us fans. In the band's history, I think there's only one of two Australian shows that are available out there. Thanks for taking the time to share what you have so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

damo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 what were the drones like??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukeshakedrugs Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 what were the drones like???personally didn't dig 'em... played well but a little too dramatic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 what were the drones like??? i didnt like them. the best part of their set was between 2 songs, when someone in the audience yelled out "the comedy festival is down the road". the singer replied "what was that?". the same guy yelled back "you heard me". and that was the end of it. it was just a load of noise to me. I thought that if Wilco kept the same volume (which they did), it'll be a great show (and it was). the singer was such a poser and show off, but they didnt get anywhere. i also noticed that most of their applause came from way back in the venue. it was one of those acts where you think the song is finishing, but it starts up again.

lukeshakedrugs Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 yeah a little bit pretentious aswell... it sounded and looked like: "look at me i'm so troubled" but the truth of it is im living in a first world city with a record deal and making a living off my passion so i suppose i'll just have to act like i'm bi-polar to be interesting. i mean i dont know what this guy's life is actually like but it seemed he wanted it to come accross as pretty tragic and mentally chaotic.

damo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 oh that sucks, i thought they would be awesome live. this is a sweet video of an acoustic shark fin blues Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kungfuonion Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 actually, i like the drones... but they were far from their best. they're actually cool guys with great senses of humour... ...and that guy who made the comedy festival gag was a complete loser. i had the misfortune of standing next to him and his singing was loud and horrible during the wilco set, and wouldn't stop pumping his fists...

lukeshakedrugs Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 sounded like a band that might have sounded better on cd funny i think i saw that bloke... jeff had this distracted look on his face on stage and i look down and this guys got his hand in the air like "YES.. IM HERE EVERYONE DON'T WORRY! HI JEFF!!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AGM155 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Must've been near you, Kungfuonion - I was a few people in front of the guy. I think that between encores he pushed his way next to me. Didn't like the Drones either though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
damo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 i cant believe the drones were a disappointment, i thought the mess hall were great in brisbane much better than expected Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ms. yvon Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 love the combo of adrian's pix and froggie's notes! the bit about mike cutting jeff off by playing is hysterical. vc bonus from australian & new zealand shows: regional slang! i'm chuffed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wailin Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 More encouragement, Adrian! Really great, truly awesome. Whatever your day job is, I hope you can kick it and take photos like this for a living. Unless you want to keep your day job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AGM155 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks for uploading the show, Whatboutbob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adrian76 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 awesome, downloading it now I'll take the recording back to The Palace and make them listen to the bit where Jess told them to give me my money back... they can't ignore me then!! A Song, if I could retire on a phat rock 'n roll photography lifestyle, I'd be the happiest person on earth. I'm hoping the day job is only around for another 12-18 months though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
