r/wilco

I love the Sunken Treasure DVD so much. I once ripped the audio to a CD-R to play in my car. Alas, the CD broke after 20 years of good service.

I read somewhere that there was a downloadlink with MP3’s which is no longer available.

Does anyone have the MP3’s? Would be much appreciated!!

Has anyone taken photos of the EU/UK merch?

Thanks

Hey guys! I Iive in the UK and would love to get my hands on one of those t shirts. Sadly it seems shipping would cost an insane amount (do they only sell from America?)! Is there any way I can get one or is there no way around it? Like do they sell them at gigs? I'm size medium

Thanks!!

Hey all,

Just curious if theres any official word about three more? We've got Jeff, John and Glenn live albums..are 3 more official live compilations coming?

I threw all of them into a Playlist with a few songs from Kicking Television thrown in. Its 5 1/2 of glorious live Wilco. The song selection on these three albums is absolutely amazing.

Just saw them most recently in July in Columbus. I swear they just keep getting better. I need the new arrangement of kingpin available!

I posted here a while back, and decided to listen to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which I needed time at first to actually understand it (not in a bad way, if an album confuses me like that, it means it's really good).

I followed this by listening to A Ghost is Born and that hit me instantly with those guitars and more looser playing.

Finally, I decided to finish with Sky Blue Sky, and this one was pretty solid, I was slightly disappointed as the change in style threw me off a little, but I overall enjoyed it.

With all of these in mind, I actually came back to each of them and listened to their tracks, my opinions changed on them, Yankee I completely understand now and is absolutely my favourite out of the 3, Ghost is second as some tracks I just can't get the feel of, I like them but I don't love them?, I think thats the same with Sky Blue Sky however the production on SBS is a little too dry and tight, I feel like it needs some of that looseness and I was missing the synths and other effects for this one,

however regardless of my placement they each have amazing songs: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Kamera, War on War, Ashes of American Flags, Jesus etc, I'm the Man Who Loves You, At Least That's What You Said, Hell is Chrome, Spiders (Kidsmoke), Hummingbird, Handshake Drugs, Theologians, Sky Blue Sky, Impossible Germany, You Are My Face, Hate it Here, Walken.

Overall, where should I go from here? I've listened to some tracks from Summerteeth, A.M, Self Titled, and the track Art of Almost.

Big Wilco fan but somehow just discovered this recording last year. It's such an amazing early set from them. I know it was a small crowd, but was anyone here on Reddit there? How was it live? Any stories to share?

I'm lurker (longtime listener/first-time caller...) and have tickets for next week's show.. and am FINALLY seeing Wilco after 324912032903 years (I'm originally from Indy (of all the places I could've seen them plenty of times..) and lived there until 2014.. I never managed to land tickets because of my job at the time (paramedic)). Can I just say how absolutely insanely excited I am? I'm taking my 19yo son along because.. duh. Not even trying to be a bummer, but it's been an absolutely crap 2026 (husband died in January; recent cancer diagnosis) but this Wilco show has been my absolute bright spot and I can't f'ing wait, y'all.

SERIOUSLY.

This is Cubs World Series 2016 level "holy sht"'ing for me!

I have 2 extra seated tickets for Wilco’s show in London on August 20th at the eventim Apollo. Seats 24 and 25 in row A. Will send the pdf of the tickets via email. dm me if interested :)

Why does Wilco claim to be a Chicago band when it is clear they started in and the original members were from Belleville and St. Louis?

Hard to believe its been nearly 18 years since I saw AND met Wilco at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Mass (Aug. 12, 2008). I was dating someone in college who was such a huge fan of the band that she became friends with someone who worked at the drum company who sponsored drummer Glenn Kotche. That contact not only got us and our friend seats a few rows away from the stage, but also passes to the after show party - where we got to meet the entire band (except Jeff Tweedy). They were all super nice guys, and getting to chat with them moments after such an incredible show.

This also marked the only time I've been to the world renowned Tanglewood - such a cool spot to see a talented group like Wilco (or any band for that matter).

Stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!

What are some of the songs that have extended/alternate versions for the live shows? Any decent recordings of them?

The ones I can think of are

- Art of Almost
- You Satellite
- Impossible Germany
- Kidsmoke (maybe?)

yeah

I've had this CD set forever - probably right after it came out - but for some reason I hadn't ever listened to it - I recently set up a cd player with some speakers and a receiver and just started listening and damn it's good - also just realized today that you can stream it on Spotify 😆

First, in case I’m understood, Wilco is the most important alt_pop, Americana band of the Gen-X generation. And so, with that and how cheap derivatives might feel acknowledged, I’m shouting into the void. Wilco is by far the most creative, bewildering, ingenious progressive band I can name. (if you have anything that compares you could change my short life I have had the immense pleasure of experiencing both in recording and in real life.

I am searching for some understanding of how the ‘Picking On’ series could use what was clearly a one-off opportunity in Old School Freight Train to create such a unnervingly transcendent interpretation that I have never seen in any other context. I don’t mean to diminish the impact that Wilco has had on americana, roots rock, and alternative music. But the bluegrass version was otherworldly, and yet never replicated. This may be my only opportunity to try to dig up how this happened, who, why, whatever was responsible and learn more about why it was never replicated. Any information or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
