tinnitus photography Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 is this Speed Racer you speak of camera-shy? just photoshop Samuel L Jackson over his/her face. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Is the ban on Speed Racer so severe, that the Mod's won't even allow her image to appear? (I am sure it's up to Ms.Miller, guess I could be wrong) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hey guys, just messing around about the photos. There are pics, but nothing that really needs to be posted here. It's just a group of people. The point of the thread was to post the set list and share a couple details & thoughts. These events raise over 100K every year which helps a lot of families. And Jeff takes 4 Saturday nights out of his year to do these for 30 whacko Wilco fans. All of this is important to remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All of this is important to remember. Are the powers that be still adhering to the misguided policy of not allowing recordings of these shows to be shared? I get it, they can make any rule they want, but if they want to make some real money they should sell copies of these shows. Failing that, the should allow some of us non-insiders to hear them. This is not a knock on Wilco albums, but I find myself listening to the couple of Living Room Shows much more Frequently than any album or any live show (Tweedy or Wilco). There's something special about these shows that you don't get anywhere (both song selection and banter). I think of them as some of the greatest performances Jeff has done and would love to hear and pay for more. Maybe I'm alone in the regard, but I doubt it. I bet there some decent amount of money to be made by selling discs or downloads of these shows.

calvino Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 No, of course not. I was joking. Should have used a smiley face or something... I am planing to use her bean burger recipe for my Father's day lunch, this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Tatlock Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It's easy to get jealous about these events if you did not attend.It's easy to tease or gloat if you did attend. I am in the former camp. I'm inclined to believe that Bart meant that the money could be additional money for the charity. Everything is up to the Tweedy's of course and everyone is aware fo the real purpose of the events so there's is little point in getting worked up about what is a good thing in a bad, bad world.

caliber66 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Allowing public recording/dissemination of the living room shows would fundamentally alter the interaction between Jeff and the audience, and thus the experience of the group of fans who paid several hundred dollars each to attend the shows.

The first few years of Living Room Shows were easily available online at one point, but once the Tweedys made their feelings known those links were pulled down from the trackers, Owl and Bear, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let it go. Wow! You must have a low tollerance, but consider it let go.  I've seen the light and now advocate that Jeff only plays shows for single payers. Bidding starts at 10 million dollars per seat, but the good news is there's only one seat. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't pretend you're on some selfless mission to have more charity dollars raised. You said earlier "I get it" but you obviously don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks for sharing this setlist, Jules. I forgot about the song "Lost Love" & dusted off my Golden Smog CD's to get re-acquainted with it. Much obliged to whomever requested that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
