Wilco: The Thread

[subinai]

what a show. goddman they are good.

nick offermen was in the crowd last night. talked to him. really nice guy.

Tuesdays' Wilco show, 1st of the 3 Cap shows, was pretty damn good.  The setlist was outstanding and Nels Cline could be the most fun guitarist to ever watch play. It was great meeting and watching the show with headhunter and Angelo, hopefully we'll have some MMJ shows to look forward to in the near future.  Here's a good recording of the show...

I'm considering to a couple nights of Chicago. Probably only two, as 6 would be a lot of time of work and a lot of money.

Keep me posted. I'll pack extra boot warmers if you make it. I'm there the 11th and 12th, at a minimum.

All 3 nights are now available at the following link:

From what I understand they played 90 songs with just one repeat over their 3 nights in PC!      

Wish I could have been there!   

Btw, they also have all 3 shows up on Roadcase as well as all 6 nights in Chicago for pre-order!

what was the repeat?

[Angelo]

Give Back The Key To My Heart. One of what I think was only three covers played the entire run. Both times it was performed acoustic during the final encore.

Great times Murph! Would most definitely love to rock out at some MMJ shows with you.

If there has to be a repeat, that's not a bad choice

The alternate version of Hummingbird... Holy shit! At the beginning you think it sucks, then by the end it's just incredible.

If you guys have not heard any of the official PC recordings yet I URGE you to check them out! So far I just have the first night and it rocks, it sports a really sick You Are My Face. It's amazing how they pretty much nailed all of these songs the way they did over those 3 nights, especially since not really having toured since Americanarama. If anyone has nights 2 or 3 and wants to trade pm me. I'm sure I'll be getting AMF for xmas so I held off on that.

Those NYC taper recordings are audience recordings, which some folks think are just fine and some actually prefer.  Others might prefer the official soundboards that Angelo was mentioning for more clarity and less of the room/audience.  The SBDs sound pretty damn good to my ears.  But those AUD recordings are really good, too.  helps that they were recorded right at the soundboard.

[iLikeBeer]

I've got all the AUD's from PC and I thought all 3 nights were real good.  There's a little audience chatter here and there, but the overall sound quality is real food for AUD recordings if you ask me.

Personally, I prefer the AUD recordings if they are good quality as it gives you the feel of actually being there...

were there non-aud PC recordings? I only ask because I have the ones they sold and they definitely have audience chatter ("They're not stopping, they're not stopping" is my fave audience chatter I can hear)

Saturday night's show will be streamed live here, and on the radio for those in the Chicago listening area.

[Angelo]

I bought the ALAC version and then burned it to CD as I wanted best possible quality. It rips on my home system! The night 1 soundboard has plenty of audience noise between songs and during, but it doesn't overwhelm. I heard complaints of too many chatterers near the back of the room and that it affected the aud recordings but I haven't listened so I can't comment.

Just ordered Alpha Mike Foxtrot from Amazon.  Hope it's good!  Im curious to know anyone's opinion of it? 

[danimal]

In regards to Alpha Mike Foxtrot - I like it a lot.  One of the things I like best about Wilco is hearing the different incarnations of songs that have appeared throughout the years.  Listening through to this compilation really made me remember that part of my love for them.  There are some really excellent live versions of different songs - especially the stuff from AGIB.  A lot of folks over at Via Chicago were pretty grumbly when the tracklist was released but overall, I think the consensus is that it's a pretty great package - especially with all the liner notes.

[e_wind]

I love AMF. I love a lot of the b sides and unreleased stuff. The alternate version of Hunmingbird is incredible. And the liner notes....

[Willard1979]

Im looking forward to the liner notes
