Autumnteeth Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 For what it's worth, my listening to the Demos and Engineer's Demos FAR outweighs my listening of the studio release. It would be great to get that stuff in an official capacity. As for more film footage, I'd buy anything and everything I could get my hands on from the making of that album (and the time period around it). I started listening to the band because of that album. I had a lot of BEach Boys Smile outtakes, but when I got the official version Brian wanted out it was better than all of the boots I had. Hoping an official version is on its way. When an album is too cohesive and great to allow Magazine Called Sunset, Cars Can't Escape, and Venus a comprehensive reissue wading through the outtakes is a wise affair.

Eternal Instigator Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Some days I think a copy of YHF is all I really need. And then I listen to Being There, and then decided that's all I need. And then I listen to The Whole Love and know that this band still has a lot of greatness left. Ripping the vinyl version of "One Sunday Morning" off my turntable and onto my machine as we speak. Dreamy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnteeth Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Try a quick direct usb to your computer listen so you don't miss some of the hiss. It is a beautiful song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnteeth Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hoping for a remastered release of the Engineer demos, the demos, and a tour supporting all of the above. Figured the tour coud do the album live, then go into the exclusions and rewrites, but the reality is that YHF as is stands on its own. The band did 7 tracks last night at Civic Opera. And people wanted more. My dream is a live show, similar to Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds show, but Wilco gives far more than it gets in terms of ticket price and can't see how they could do it.

choo-choo-charlie Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I know there are 3-4 versions of "Cars Can't Escape" out there, but I was listening to the Tweedy/Bennett show from 7/25/99 and during the between-song banter, you can hear the two of them off-mic talking about what to play next. At the end of the set, Jay suggests to Jeff that they try "Cars Can't Escape" before they launch into the bluegrass-y "Casino Queen." If they were already working that song out in 1999, there's got to be more versions of it on the shelves, considering how much the band deconstructed and reworked songs at the time. Maybe some more of those will resurface on a YHF set....someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Melinda Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 April 2012 is also the 10th anniversary of my first Wilco show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Remember the next week,night after the Letterman appearance, Jeff announcing at the Cleveland show that YHF had debuted no. 13 on billboard. "What's wrong with you people?" And speaking of Cleveland, how is it Wilco hasn't played here since Feb. 2008? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fine with Wilco being in the their mid-60s before they do anything like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
