20th Anniversary Roadcase Shows Virtual Wilco Unplugged Album


Recommended Posts

OK here is the raw material below for creating a great Virtual 2 CD-R "Wilco 20th Anniversary Unplugged" set. In the next post I'll give you my recipe for how I ended up doing a 2 CD set of 79 minute CD's. Luckily it just worked out pretty easily...arrange 'em however you want. So we are working with the 3 Port Chester, NY shows (#37-39) & the 6 Chicago Winterlude shows (#40-45).

The Knoxville show (#36) had two hootenanny encore songs- "Misunderstood" & "California Stars"- both of which were repeated at both the Port Chester & Winterlude/Chicago shows...folks who would want to add those to the mix are welcome to. I won't personally, but others might want to add these third versions & jettison some of the other repeats that cross over between Port Chester & Chicago Winterlude (Give Back The Key To My Heart-twice, Too Far Apart, True Love Will Find You In The End, Be Not So Fearful & New Madrid).

4 Non-encore songs of acoustic nature from Chicago Winterlude shows:

Childlike & Evergreen (Jeff solo acoustic)
No More Poetry (Jeff solo acoustic)
Dash 7 (Jeff and Nels only; Nels on lap steel)
Shakin' Sugar (aka Alone) (Jeff, John and Glenn only)

24 Encore Hootenanny Set Songs from Chicago Winterlude:
Outta Mind (Outta Sight)*
Art Of Almost (original arrangement)*
The Thanks I Get*
California Stars*
True Love Will Find You In The End* [Daniel Johnston]
Give Back The Key To My Heart* [Doug Sahm]
Be Not So Fearful* [bill Fay]
I'm The Man Who Loves You*
Too Far Apart*
New Madrid*
Dawned On Me*
Dreamer In My Dreams*
Passenger Side*
I Got You (At The End of the Century)* ("This Is 40" arrangement)

Airline To Heaven*
Whole Love*
Shot In The Arm*
ELT*

2 Non-encore songs of acoustic nature from Port Chester:
Promising
Bob Dylan's 49th Beard

11 Port Chester Hootenanny Encore Sets songs (which it should be noted, & it was in the reporting here, were "*performed partially without PA". "Casino Queen", "That's Not The Issue" & "Ripple" are unique to Port Chester, while the others also appeared during Winterlude):

Casino Queen
Give Back The Key To My Heart
True Love Will Find You In The End

Here's how my 2 CD-R's worked out...I ended up choosing to drop the audience sung "Ripple" as cool as it was. Others might choose to drop the two extra versions of "Give Back The Key To My Heart"- it appears here on VOLUME I from the Chicago Winterlude shows, & then again twice from Port Chester on VOLUME II (the only song repeated in the whole Port Chester run).
Arrange 'em however it works best for you... collect 'em all, mix 'em up different ways, trade 'em with your friends... enjoy! ;)

VOLUME I (79 minutes & 21 songs):
(16 Winterlude Encore songs from Nights 1-4, 4 songs a night, right in a row as they appear at the end of each show)

Give Back The Key To My Heart*
Be Not So Fearful*
I'm The Man Who Loves You*
Too Far Apart*
New Madrid*
Dawned On Me*
Dreamer In My Dreams*
Passenger Side*
I Got You (At The End of the Century)*

That is pretty awesome but seems like a lot of work. 

It was very easy with iTunes... Took me very little time to set up the playlists... a couple of minutes total actually. If you are at all familiar with iTunes, it's a pretty simple process.

they did the hootenanny in Knoxville

 

most notably they did "the lonely 1" that night. 

Which ones were "hootenanny" style in Knoxville?

I see two sets of encores... I'm guessing the second set? I may be wrong, but I guess that "Impossible Germany" & "The Lonely 1" were the standard full band versions.

 

Although these ("Misunderstood" & "California Stars") do repeat what was done at both the Port Chester & the Chicago/Winterlude shows, folks might want to add these third versions & jettison some of the other repeats that cross over between Port Chester & Chicago Winterlude (Give Back The Key To My Heart-twice, Too Far Apart, True Love Will Find You In The End, Be Not So Fearful & New Madrid)

 

Encore #1:

Impossible Germany

The Lonely 1

 

Encore #2:

Misunderstood

California Stars

Just these two were "hootenanny" style

Thanks! That's what I kind of figured. Yeah, for those that have, or went to that show, they might prefer those versions. I'll revise my first post here with that pertinent info. Thanks to both you & "SarahC" for pointing it out & clarifying the situation fully for me.

Because they did both of those during both the Port Chester & Chicago/Winterlude shows, getting Knoxville for me would be a show of all repeats, & all hootenanny repeats, so I'll probably pass...others might feel otherwise.

 

I'll be curious to see, as the 20th Anniversary Shows continue, if they do add any different songs to the hootenanny parts of the show...and if they pick off & do any of the 16 or so songs from the regular catalog that haven't been done so far...especially the still elusive "Sunloathe".

I was at the Knoxville show, so when I went up for the first two Winterlude shows it was pretty awesome to hear some different hootenanny songs, especially Art of Almost. But like you said, I really hope they keep adding different songs during the run next year, I've got tickets to all 3 of the Florida shows

Reviving this thread in light of the official announcement yesterday regarding Wilco's Friday show on the first night of Solid Sound 2015:
"For the first time ever, the guys will unplug their instruments and perform a full set of Wilco tunes acoustically. If you’ve seen the band on its recent tour you may have seen them do a mini-set like this (i.e.: this performance of “Casino Queen” from Wilco’s recent show in Indy), but as Solid Sound 2015 gets rolling they’ll turn Joe’s Field into an intimate living room and play a full acoustic set (with amplification).
“It’ll be a bit of an experiment,” Jeff Tweedy said, “but the Solid Sound audience is usually game for whatever we throw at them.”

The first couple of posts here present all the raw material of available acoustic/ unplugged songs from Wilco's recent 20th Anniversary Roadcase Show releases for you to create a "20th Anniversary Roadcase Shows Virtual Wilco Unplugged Album" (just like the thread is entitled...although technically it'll be a double CD's worth), as well as the recipe that worked for me in creating my own 2 CD set (with a few repeated songs & close to 80 min. a CD).  Enjoy!!
