jimtweedy1977 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've been listening to the second night of Solid Sound the last couple of days in the car. I remember there was filming going on during the weekend. I wonder if we'll see a final product sometime before the end of this year. Even though it won't be the same thing as reliving the festival, it'll be as close as we can come. It would be awesome to see a 2 disc set, one disc being a film of the festival and another disc being of the two wilco shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 yeah i was thinking about this other day. would love to see it come out at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Good topic. I was wondering the same in the morning before Wilco was added to the Lockn' schedule. Had no idea they would be added, and was wondering if a DVD would come out as the only Wilco activity of the year. As I recall, there were professional video crews at all the stages. Something must be brewing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 The people filming were led by Brendan Canty, who did the Ashes DVD and also the Tweedy solo Sunken Treasure DVD. I was on the periphery of some conversation with him at the festival and at that time I don't think there was a clear idea of how the footage was going to be used. subsequently I heard some rumors of a DVD.

twoshedsjackson Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well, I guess I wasn't the only one wondering. I even considered starting a thread.I can't imagine they'd go to the trouble and expense of having Brendan Canty & crew film the whole thing without there being some sort of release planned. I wish they'd hurry up & release it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I can't imagine they'd go to the trouble and expense of having Brendan Canty & crew film the whole thing without there being some sort of release planned. Well, they could film a DVD with the plan to release it commercially, and then not like the footage. It happened before. Wilco had Sam Jones (of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart documentary fame) & film crew film 4 nights at the Vic in May 2005 for a live DVD, and that never came out. Wilco didn't like the footage and scrapped it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kicking_Television:_Live_in_Chicago So history could repeat itself, but I hope not ... because I would love to see a DVD from Solid Sound. For that matter, I'd also love to see the old 2005 Vic footage! Those were some pretty legendary shows, if I recall correctly. Ah, well. *shrug* At least we got the Kicking Television CD/vinyl release from that era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well, they could film a DVD with the plan to release it commercially, and then not like the footage. It happened before.I know, but it would be such a shame, and it seems less likely since they have a track record with Brendan Canty. Also, this is just a teensy tiny gripe, but all those big ass cameras at Solid Sound last year really blocked my view! I was thinking, well, it's all for a greater cause, but if the footage is never used it would have all been a fair amount of aggravation for nothing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

LouieB Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I still think the Kicking Television vid should be released. LIke most everything, someday it will. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Has anybody seen the Kicking Television footage? (I have not.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 There is a video from it: Wilco - Kicking Television There are some people you may know in the front row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well that was fun. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 There are some people you may know in the front row. Indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm in there somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Oh, yes, thanks Mike. I did see that Kicking Television video way back when. I'm in the front row of the balcony as they panned the audience upstairs in the last few seconds of the video, next to Ms Yvonne in the red shirt, Renic, then me. Ah, the olden days! I miss them! This is funny though - this video was patchworked together from at least two nights performances -- if you watch closely at John from scene to scene, he is jacket-on, then jacket-off, jacket-on, jacket-off. Screw continuity, it was hot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 For some odd reason I don't recall meeting you there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I attended one of the shows. A-man, I remember you being slightly miffed that we didn't meet in person that night.Sam Jones paid me $1 to film me standing in line. He filmed a bunch of people for the planned DVD. I still have that dollar bill somewhere... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 A Solid Sound DVD release this summer would be the perfect antidote to little/no chance to see Wilco. I'd love to relive any part of any of the three festivals! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 How's this for a memory? One of my favorites from all three festivals http://youtu.be/q3vgh9oFXww Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Here's a very intriguing little teaser. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0xzJtkBVyrEVlMteTlYSnc0Q1k Those are Glenn's children. And this was Mariana Neri's request for the covers show at Solid Sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariana neri Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 This video is amazing. Can't wait to see more of this material! (I love Pavement and begged all my friends and co-workers to request this song on the website. I couldn't believe when they played at the festival ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So excellent. Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to see the whole thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Nice find. Not a Pavement fan (to the point of not knowing the song!) but enjoyed that. I have to say that I think I'd prefer to see a film of the working up of the new covers rather than a film of the actual performance - since unfortunately I have no memories to relive as not there at the time. A kind of 'Let It Be' without the tension. Ideally a double DVD release then - one of each - to keep everyone happy :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 yeah that vid is really terrific. let's see more i was so happy when they busted out that Pavement tune. i might have done a little dance in the photo pit. i voted to get "Gold Soundz" as one of the covers and enlisted friends, but was certainly not disappointed w/ "Cut Your Hair."
