Sporadic art Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think these are awesome... the quality is almost too good for my little car speakers....Good call- I was thinking the same thing when I was listening to them at work today. These files are highly listenable, as opposed to most MP3 files I have ever heard. SPA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HungryHippo Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I mean... I can hear Handshake drugs destroying my speakers. It is AWESOMEnice! can't wait to get my hands on these. think i'll go order the DVD now instead of waiting until the 28th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clint09eastwood Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 nice! can't wait to get my hands on these. think i'll go order the DVD now instead of waiting until the 28th. Definitely worth it.. the free show is fantastic as well, but these tracks are basically movie quality so they are now my official wilco live versions of the given tracks, if you will.

CommerceComet Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just listened to the first song with headphones. That might have been worth the DVD purchase price alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J_Lefty Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Gotta say that Wishful Thinking is awesome. Def. the best version of this song that I've heard. Everything on the soundtrack has a great echoey stereo quality that really adds to the recordings and mimics the feeling of being at the concerts. A++ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LCH Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Agreed--and this was evident when I watched the DVD with headphones on. The sound of the 9:30 Club songs is a bit muddy, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The approach of the mix is definitely a lot different than the Kicking TV set. I would easily call KTV one of the best sounding live records ever. But what we get hear is someone whose hog wild about their skill as an ensemble. Glenn's crotales smack you in the face, John's bass is huge and rich- all the little arrangement spice is accentuated. This puts the vocals a little less up front, but they are definitely audible. As an engineer and a music fan I find the Ashes stuff speaks to my sensibilities a little more, but that's no knock on KTV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would venture these are mixed for sound quality period. As for the 9:30 concert I think the version of On and On and On is better and better and better than the SBS track. The vocal harmonies add a whole 'nother layer that isn't there in the studio version. BTW, no offense to the original poster personally, but the current popular use of "sick" is making me ill. I would rank it up there with phrases NOT to be used like "loves me some." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
othersongs Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 quick question: how do you get this recording and extra performance? I just ordered this DVD off Wilco's website. Will I get this recording with the DVD? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The audio files from the film are available whenever, the concert has a deadline of April 28? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I find the use of the phrase offensive, whether it's used on a message board or in informal conversation. It doesn't provide a unique definition nor expound on a existing word. It's just a noise.

However, I feel like there is some kind of awesome rawness to this.... idk I just kinda like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely worth the price and patience to wait for the DVD! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangerine Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 haven't listened to the DVD or the audio tracks at length yet (just got them yesterday) but from what I have seen and heard the quality is really amazing. I'm always let down by music movies and concerts but not this time it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 haven't watched the DVD yet but yeah listened to these songs and they are really fantastic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidtobin100 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 haven't watched the DVD yet but yeah listened to these songs and they are really fantastic! Looks like those of us in europe aren't gonna be able to get that show. The DVD seems to have been delayed until next Monday. By the time my pre-order ships and arrives the deadline will be well gone. Surely they could keep it up for a month at the least? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jnrjr79 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Ok, pardon me here if I'm being dense, but when I insert the dvd and click the extras link, it asks me to register for the bonus content. I filled out the registration, but still find no place to do the download. Then, when I log in, still nothing. What am I doing wrong here or are the downloadables not up yet?
