*fingers crossed somebody records this*

Assuming this is where we'll be chatting the whole time? I should go charge my phone. My computer is hooked to the TV, because for some reason the YouTube application on the TV doesn't want to play the stream... I never knew TV's even had applications until 3-4 months ago when we bought the thing.

Aren't you off by an hour. It says 8:30 local, which would be Est?

I'm guess Chvrches is going over. No rock shows are ever on time. Ha.

[linclink]

TUNE IN! TURN ON!! ROCK OUT!! !

Anyone I've talked to said the local 8:30 was CST...

[bigideas]

Ok. Just checked Wilco's Facebook and looks like you are right.

I am losing my mind. Sorry.

[u2roolz]

Anyone else having their stream come in choppy? Chvrches just froze for 30 seconds and before that the sound was off quite a bit. 

Oh well! I'm just glad to be tuning in. 

 

Edit: Chvrches' lead singer just talked about Wilco. "Are you guys sticking around for Wilco?" - crowd casually applauds - "You don't sound very enthusiastic. Aren't they hometown heroes? They just put out an album last night." - crowd casually applauds a bit louder.

Occasionally it drops for a second- maybe it'll be fixed for wilco.

This live stream is bringing the album to life for me.  The sound quality of the album stream sounds dull through my computer system, and doesn't completely sell me, but this really sets the whole thing on fire.  i'm excited to hear the vinyl version since that's by far how music sounds best in my house.
