For SS 2013, soundboard recordings were available from Wilco's store.

I saw no less than 3 different tapers for night 1. Wasn't really looking for night 2, but saw at least one for Tweedy's closing set on Sunday. The fest was awesome as always, by the way. This being my third trip to SS, I've never once had a shitty experience whether with a fan or staff. Everyone is cool as shit and it can be like a little utopia up there. I wish I would've brought socks though, that was a mistake. I need to consult with Sassbox before heading out next time to make sure I have everything I need.

One thing you can be guaranteed of at SS is people getting there early and lining up chairs and blankets all over the place on Joe's field, including the rail. It doesn't bother me as much as others but I chuckle thinking of people trying to get away with that at an MMJ show.

I'm listening to the acoustic night 1 show for the second time today and it keeps getting better. I loved it when I saw it live and wasn't sure if it was attributable to a combo of adult beverages and such, plus being back at SS, but it is just as good if not better than I remembered. I admit I felt slightly disappointed knowing we would get an all acoustic set even though I had thoroughly enjoyed the mini sets from last year's PC run. I was skeptical about how it would translate to a large outdoor summer concert. I was definitely wrong. Every band member could be heard clearly in the mix and Jeff's voice was strong.

yea, listened to almost all of it last night. So good. The jam at end of Walken was something else. Bull Black Nova too.

Yea I remember thinking that an entire acoustic set was not something I'd be excited for. Not that I went to SS, but I listened to the live stream of the show that night on WFUV and really, really enjoyed it. Some of the songs just sounded completely different and new, it was pretty awesome and the crowd sounded to be really into it as well

Woah! Wilco just announced their new album, Star Wars, by releasing it for free on their website!

bcdoc · Jul 16, 2015, 08:33 PM

I am so fired up. What a great surprise! I came across the announcement via their Instragram account. Yes!

it's blowing my mind... it's one of my fav wilco records and thats saying something. they have a strong discography. It kills from start to end I can't stop playing it.

LBSUNFLWR · Jul 18, 2015, 11:50 AM

liked it on first listen. so very cool of them, and even cooler that they played it all live last night!!

Murph · Jul 21, 2015, 02:23 PM

Just another great album from them. I easily like it more than Whole Love and Wilco (The Album). After each successive listen I have a new favorite song. Only wish it was a bit longer..

What's the process for these presale tickets again? Link on the site tomorrow morning? Or e-mailed password?

EDIT - Nevermind, the latest Wilco e-mail answered my question!

I would normally hit up the festival show in Toronto, but I have a wedding in Ottawa on Saturday, so Ottawa on Sunday is an attractive option. BUTTTTTT now that they've announced a full, non-restrictive headlining show in Montreal, I think I've found my show!!

DOUBLE EDIT -- WHOA! Signing up for a new presale account gets you a free Roadcase show! Sweet!! Man, this band is sure in a giving mood lately.

dmooney99 · Jul 22, 2015, 06:44 PM

was never a huge wilco fan (have a few of their albums). Listening now, pretty good.

Only problem i'm having is that i can't get it to play on itunes, just windows media player.

Awesome - I just got the St. Augustine show too! 30 tracks!

for the tip!

Where do you sign up to get the free show download?

getinthevan · Jul 23, 2015, 09:14 PM

When you sign into Crowdsurge, it offers you the download. If you had a Front Gate account, you should have gotten an email. If not, sign up for Crowdsurge through the Wilco site.

I clicked on the hyper link here: http://wilcoworld.net/#!/ticket-pre-sales-how-they-work/ and it just brings me to a page with nothing on it except for the wilco world template.
