Lammycat Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Whatever happened with the Pines Theater show from '07 that was videotaped/XM-radioed? Didn't VH1 have cameras rolling at that and is it planned for any release...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I think it was supposed to be for some show on MTV/VH1 that apparently never aired. That's probably one of my very favorite concert venues, so I was disappointed that footage never saw the light of day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keeprighton2 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I remember hearing that the film crew was at the 9:30 Club shows in late February, too. And Tipitina's. Maybe the did all of the shows from DC through Cain's. (Which, looking at setlists, still wouldn't include Ashes.) Looking through those shows on Wilcobase did remind me that the setlists in the wake of the residency were just ridiculous, though. That was such a fun time. Well, the only time AOAF was played around filming time it opened the show at Val Air in Des Moines so if this wasn't filmed it can't be on the DVD. Anyone go and see cameras? Getting a bit anal about this probably but I do love that song and really hope it's on there. Also hope it's not too heavy on SBS material. Maybe it'll be documentary-ish with lots of addiitional songs on bonus discs etc. That would be a great result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care what material is on the DVD as I like SBS as much as anything else. Having said that, since they "rehearsed" all their material during the residency in preparation of this tour, my guess is it will be quite a variety. Almost guaranteed to include "It's Just That Simple". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Interesting that there's so much focus on the DVD and touring here and hardly any on the new CD, which apparently is just months away. Seems like we're burying the lead. Or maybe I'm missing something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Wilco puts out plenty of albums, but this is their first concert video, I do believe. There was asposed to be one with Kicking TV, but the cameraman fucked up or something so it was scrapped. So there is that factor, plus the fact that we had been expecting the new album, and not everyone (the SBS-unenthused) is really that excited by a new album. (I liked SBS a lot, but I hope this new album is a bit more of an ass-kicker.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I remember hearing that the film crew was at the 9:30 Club shows in late February, too. And Tipitina's.

Looking through those shows on Wilcobase did remind me that the setlists in the wake of the residency were just ridiculous, though. That was such a fun time. From my (admittedly possibly faulty) recollection, the filming took place at one of the nights in Washington at 9:30; at the Ryman in Nashville; in Mobile, Ala,. (at the Mobile Arena); one of the nights at Tipitina's in New Orleans; and at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. I know they did some fan interviews on line in various places and took extra footage (other than just concert footage), so my guess is it'll probably incorporate some of that stuff. I would think that the Sunken Treasure DVD of Jeff's solo tour would be a good guideline of what the upcoming release might be like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One or two plays is usually enough. Sure, I'll grab the video, but to me that's about where the band has been. A new CD is about where the band is going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i know they filmed Tipitinas. man those were some fun shows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 living a long way from anywhere the boys are likely to ever come, a concert video would be a pretty inadequate substitue. like eating taco bell when you want mexican food. it's better than going hungry, but... the new record, on the other hand i can't wait for.

Preferred B Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I looked back at the Des Moines Val Air thread from March and it turns out I answered my own question about that one - the full film crew wasn't there, but there was one guy with a video camera. From my perspective, the email from Wilcoworld didn't really tell us anything new about the album. I'm excited about a new release, but we already knew it was supposed to be coming in the spring. It was nice to hear that's still the plan. The news about a DVD coming in the next couple of months, however, was 100% shiny new information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Regarding the appearance of "ashes", since they didn't play it on the nights they were filming, they can use audio recorded elsewhere over credits or incidental portions of video if they wanted to. If I recall, the version at the residency was terrific; I was sad they only played it once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hollinger. Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yeah, there was one guy with a video camera out at the first part of the Val Air show. So he definitely got Ashes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardinggr Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yeah, there was one guy with a video camera out at the first part of the Val Air show. So he definitely got Ashes. Anybody have any info where they will be touring in Spain? Will see if I can coincide it with my holiday as there seems to be no UK show... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keeprighton2 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Anybody have any info where they will be touring in Spain? Will see if I can coincide it with my holiday as there seems to be no UK show... Extensive sounds like Madrid, Barca, Bilbao, Zaragoza and maybe somewhere south like Seville. Think I might join you down there though I'm sure there'll be something UK later in the summer, maybe a festival or two and probably the Brixton date that never happened last time.

JHamm Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I've probably watched more Wilco video than anyone and I'm a little anxious to see how this DVD comes out. It was all shot in HD, so I would imagine a blu-ray disc wouldn't be out of the question for the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimtweedy1977 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hopefully they'll offer it with 5.1 surround sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pillowy star Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Seriously, nothing could be better than celebrating our anniversary with some nice Wilco around it (My parents were almost part-time residentials of San Sebastian, Bea, they went there that often during the late 90s!) End of May roll on! In need of some serious girlie time here (ok ok with hubbies )!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Billboard article: Live Wilco DVD To Precede New Album January 02, 2009 12:03 PM ETJonathan Cohen, N.Y. As first tipped here in August 2007, Wilco will release its first concert DVD, "Ashes of American Flags," chronicling February 2008 visits to Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Tulsa, Okla.'s Cain Ballroom. The project is due in February or March from Nonesuch, just in advance of the next Wilco studio album, which the band is now recording. "Ashes" was assembled by longtime collaborators Brendan Canty and Christoph Green of Trixie Films, who previously worked on frontman Jeff Tweedy's solo DVD "Sunken Treasure" and the behind-the-scenes film that accompanied certain editions of Wilco's 2007 album "Sky Blue Sky." According to a newsletter sent to fans, Wilco will play "a handful of gigs" in the southern U.S. in April, to be followed by an extensive tour of Spain in May and then "the usual summer hijinks with a new record and gigs everywhere imaginable." Tweedy also has three solo shows on tap in Michigan and Illinois later this month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
