Anybody get the Hall’s Island, Minneapolis show 8-20-16? I know the Current was livestreaming it. I was there, but Id love a recording to remember it by.
I keep hoping that … the fact that The Current streamed it live … that there will be a high quality recording available. I’m with you on wanting a recording of it! Wow. What a great show!
Same here. Was there and then listened to the re-broadcast and it sounded fantastic. Hopefully becomes a Roadcase. Sounded like one worth releasing.

Taper Notes:
R.I.P. Douglas Wayne Sahm, an 11 y/o that played with Hank Sr. is a hero
by any standards.
The encore was played acoustically and the gain has been increased post
edit (a lot). A happy crowd clapping clips.
The official set list has 3 additional songs not played,
presumably due to the impending storm with lightning visible from the venue.
Songs not played after track #22 are: Kingpin, Monday, & Outtasite. From the
pic of official setlist, these appear to be first encore songs, with the
encore here being second encore songs. Or, maybe Wilco just had a choice
of encores to pick from. Either way, big thanks to the band for a great
show and for permitting the audience to record and share the memories!

for the record, it’s not really “a bootleg” if the artist’s policy supports audience recording and no one is making a profit off of the fruits of this strange hobby some of us invest a lot of time and money in – taping is a labor of love. “bootleg” just implies “illegal”, “stolen”, or “unauthorized” to many in the masses. there are some a-holes that do sell these things, and they deserve all the bad karma they get.
call anything, but a “bootleg” 🙂
cheers.
Hello,
Just was at Red Rocks last night. Can anyone get me a copy of the show. I would NEVER even ask about something this soon, but my fiancee and I were there and it was the best show I’ve ever seen, and we are getting married on July 31st. It was very romantic and I’d love to give her a copy for the wedding present…. Any help is appreciated. And thanks for loving such a great band and group of guys!
Congrats, man!
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=580903
Totally jealous you saw them at Red Rocks.
Oh my god you rule. Thanks so much for your altruistic generosity.
Give it a second, the tapers might not have even gotten home yet, let alone started uploading their recordings.
Solid Sound 2015? Come on… I saw you bootleggers.
First two nights were great! Missed day 3. Cmon, I saw you there with your umbrella-covered mics! Okay, I’ll be patient.
Check on dimeadozen or bt.etree in a few days. Or eventually Wilco will released SBD’s of the shows on their site.
I want a download too, but in the meantime, here’s a stream of the acoustic set: http://www.wfuv.org/content/wilco-solid-sound-2015

the same use that uploaded the unplugged set that I posted just uploaded the 2nd/electric set, and TWEEDY & friends on bt.etree
Does anyone have a bootleg of the May 1 2015 show in St. Augustine?
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=579671
still looking for 2003-06-27 Central Park, NYC.
is this available?
as always the time and efforts in spreading the music far and wide is highly appreciated.
much mahalo
How do I download these shows all at once, rather than one file at a time? I’m using Safari if that helps.
Thanks!
Does anyone know if the Winter Residency shows from Chicago in December 2014 are going to be released? Anyone have a bootleg? Desperate to find a copy from Dec. 11, 2014 specifically.

we need all the summer 2013 cover songs
where do I get downloads from Sean Lennon + Wilco @ Jones Beach 2013?
YES!!! lets get those.
Hello people. This is an amazing list of shows. However, I’m looking for the September 17th 2011 show at Massey Hall in Toronto. I have looked EVERYWHERE! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Great Set the other Night, guys (ATL). I’m squinting, which is followed by an unstoppable Smile. The simple thought that, each stop on your Tour, may actually have a different set list is, So wittily American to Me that. Well, I hope that your all enjoying it. I know that I will be, for years. The collaberative efforts with Mr. Weir, simply amaze One. I don’t think that Two Decks and a prepping JD, would have a chance, at the technique, tnere utilized. I’m sitting on it, Guys. Acually, what I’m thinking might grant you Months of Concentrated, play, Is Mixing the whole Tour, down. In it’s aftermath, it seems like a challenging One to Close. A tripple live (or two double’s) is Not a all beyond my comprehension, given the years of material, ln hand. The Collaberative spirit, sets such a Free and Open Terrain, that… With Songs, actually written On The Road, the nearly unescapable truth that, each song on the the band’s first l.p. ,AM actually Could, and in my opinion did (to the individual) hit the Number. That is the # 0ne on this thing that, that eye here, Is called the Billboard, or turn it, Maybe it was the Map, or Chart, if I can figure it out, here. Hold on, Give “another minute” and We’ll get back to you on that..Yet, with the possibility or prospect of NUNSUCH releasing a… Oh, Wait – hey, there it Is.. O.K. guys, to Quadroople One, is a thought. Either and all of these thought’s do weigh (daily perspective, Irony, Wit, the freedom Once felt by Dropping all that, a certaint set list, and.. Just Playing your Collection to the States. These Collaberative in roads, I’m keeping to myself, as I personally (and unfortunately) got caught up with… Well, it’s a long story but I missed the fucking Show! Dam it, I tossed my hat halway across the street, in such futile anger, over that. However, I did (soon after) get to hear – the prefomance, flat on my back, in bed. And thanks to a freind, it spun in the Strait Order of a 5 disc, C.d. changer, all evening, as I lay content in bed, with said friends dog, whom a one point, even gave me a loving Nip on the Nose. Well, my point is, I’m not one to miss shows, yet People Do Get Caught Up At Work, So. Whichever way that you guys decide to tackle this, I’m sure that their are Thousands of Us, still out here, with a Yet To Hear It. An Official Release, by 2014, would be, for Us, well Worth thw Wait. Now you Caught Me, though. You Caught Me thinking. Now look Mr. Tweedy, I know this may sound a touch far fetched, at the Moment. However, could you Cats actually pull off a Polvo cover by the end of this, Is a thought. Personally, I enjoy every peice that Wilco has ever released, and I understand that, it is a lot to cover. Lyrically though (with collaberation, such as exibited in ATL), I’m not saying a Downtown Deadication, but.. One of dem tunes could just Spin in out on NOWHERE, and Arc itself, just off kilter, just about any of your, truley delectable, Jams (even a tune in progress, for that Matter. Any Who, I’ll let you Guys and Gals off the hook, and back into your Own thoughtful imagination, there. If, however. If you are ever Driving into the Free and fine City of Pittsburgh, I implore you (too LOAD) a camera to the roof of your vehicle and Ask One of Us. Simply ask us How drive into the City, from behind Mount Washington. It’s a cool little thing. I beleive that Zeppelin “Did It” in The Song Remains The Same, and.. Well, thank you so much for the Brilliant set Put fourth to ATL, and I/we look forward, to that. Your next L.P:, with the utmost respect, concerning how “Relaxing” a time, that it Takes to write One. With that in Mind, good night and best wishes on the rest of the Tour.. It was so fucking cool, Our thank you. From: Gree (right off the top of his precocious mind) …
ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR TOUR, We love to watch you Strut.
Any shows circulating of these Summer 2013 shows with Bob Weir guesting?
anyone know where to find a boot of the june 22 2012 show at red rocks?!
Thanks!

Track 21 (I´m The Man Who Loves You) of tweedy 20080903 (Jeff Tweedy, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Auditorio de Palma, September 3, 2008) is defective. Does anybody have this? Thanks.
Great site! How I never happened upon this archive before I do not know.
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=556881
Thanks for the link Luke!
I know this is pretty soon afterwards, but does anyone have a recording from the Wolf Trap show on 7/17/12? It was my first time seeing them live and would love to have a copy.
Anybody got 5/11/12 Birmingham sloss furnace? Unreal show
I just wanted to say thank you for hosting this site as well as to the tapers for recording the shows. I’ve only recently gotten into Wilco, but I saw them this month in Tampa and I’m now completely addicted.
What Wilco album should I listen to next?…
I will roll slightly off and take some liberties. My recommendation is to head over to http://bt.etree.org/ – search “Wilco” or https://www.owlandbear.com/wilco-archive/ and begin to download/listen to shows (recent, past, distant past). With Nels, …
its about time for some new recordings
Hi, This site is great! If anyone has shows from early 1996, could you please upload them? Thanks! (ive always wanted to hear what the “being there” tour would’ve sounded like with Max in the band)
hey there!
wilco from the rolling stone weekender 2011.
http://www.wdr.de/tv/rockpalast/extra/videos/2011/1111/wilco.jsp
nice video!
Thank you, everyone, for a fantastic resource. I saw the guys recently (October 11th) at The Colston Hall in Bristol in the UK… they were, as you’d expect, brilliant!
It’s great to have access to these live recordings … I downloaded the gig recorded on 07-13-09 at Keyspan Park – Brooklyn, NY … after reading that it had been available on the band’s site for a while. It is great (I’m enjoying it a lot) but can anyone help me find ‘Via Chicago’ (it wasn’t played at that particular gig) … I loved the live version I heard in Bristol and would like to have an MP3 of it from somewhere else … but the filenames are a little impenetrable!!
By the way … I went to look for a t-shirt but none are available … Let me know when they are again and I’ll certainly buy one to show my gratitude!
Thanks again
John
Just sussed it out for myself!! Wilcobase! GREAT resource!
Thanks again

May I add my plea to Alfonso’s above?
I admit I don’t much use the gym and only run if someone is chasing me, I listen to Wilco everywhere! And I’d give an arm and a leg to be able to listen to this by other means than my ancient computer’s crappy speakers… Plus, with my crappy connection, I’ve yet to listen to the whole show; I usually make it to the 30 min. mark and then something weird happens and that’s all she wrote…

I do hope we are not breaking any rules with all this shameless begging!
Thanks in advance, best regards and thanks again to those responsible for this awesome page!

Hello there, I´m a big Wilco fan from Spain. Does anybody knows where can I download the Sasquatch show that NPR made available only for a day? I know the stream is avalaible, but I´m not interested in it, I really NEED to have this in my ipod (Wilco shows are the best soundtracks to gym and running!). Thanks in advance and congratulations for this web, a real Shangri-La for the Wilco fanatics!
PS: If it´s not allowed to put a link and someone is so nice, please send me to my email alfonsaez@gmail.com
You really do me a great favour!
listening to sasquatch at the moment thanks for the heads up cheers
Guys,

Thanks for the heads-up, but I can’t find any way to download the show, and playback freezes after 30 min or so in my computer… Does anybody know where it can be downloaded? What I heard sounded freakin’ awesome!!
Guys,
Looks like NPR only had the lossy download up for a day or two..Sorry about the bum steer..You should still be able to stream tho, I haven’t had any probs.
Cheers

Can someone please post their ideas for TOP 10 shows on this page? Wilco, JT, etc. I kinda just want to collect the best sounding shows from different eras. Or if they aren't the greatest quality but have other elements that make them stand out, that'd be nice to know what people think, too.
THanks!
Can somebody explain how to download a show from this site onto my mac? I'm just starting.. thank you
Thanks for site…anyone have the madison 20 February 2010 web version?
Thank you for his amazing resource. Unfortunately, the link to Wilco's June 17, 2007 Bonnaroo Webcast Video is broken.
This should now be fixed. Thanks for letting us know!
Thanks for this! Brilliant. Have been thoroughly enjoying the YHF demos.
Oops, sorry for not saying thanks for a great site too. Amazing job!!!
Just wondering if anyone has ever come across a recording of July 19th, 2009 at Artpark, Lewiston NY. It was a great show.
Thanks
Thanks for this terrific site. It is a wonderful resource and it is greatly appreciated. It is wonderous.
BTW, how rude of me just to come barging in here without saying thank you for the awesome site!! Really a fabulous resource for Wilco junkies.
Now if only someone had a recording of the show I was at in Fargo in May 2008! 🙂
A bit of clarity/correction to one of the above compilations/demos:
The "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Unknown Studio Session" is interesting, but doesn't appear to be from YHF sessions at all. It sounds totally like a a pre-show soundcheck.
Also, the two "unknown" cuts are:
Track 1: "Wishful Thinking" – which makes me doubt it's from 2000-01 as theorized in the notes. This song didn't come out until "A Ghost Is Born" (2004) and according to WilcoBase was never performed live until 2004. Then again, stranger things have happened…and this IS Wilco. "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" from A Ghost Is Born was first done in 2001, so this could have been an early working version of "Wishful Thinking" also. Plus, "Ashes of American Flags" is referred to on mic as its early working title, "Cash Machine."
Track 7 is the classic "Sunken Treasure" from Being There (1996).
I wish I could shed more light on this, but only the person who posted it would know where it came from. Anyway, as I said, I'm pretty sure it's really just a soundcheck.
Thanks for all the work that's gone into this amazing resource 🙂
Great site for a great band. I don’t suppose there is a recording of their show at The Troxy in London, August 2009? I was there and it was incredible, and i’d love to be able to commemorate it with a recording.
does anybody have a decent quality recording of the original poor places song?
it was great in the I Am Trying To Break Your Heart film
thanks, bromosapiens
I live in Illinois just outside of Belleville. I have been a Wilco fan since Being There and Mermaid Aves. I have never missed them when they come to St.Louis. I have also seen them in Madison WI and I just flew to Savannah GA on March 25 2010 to see this tour. I would greatly appreciate any recording of that show. I took my brother who lives in Savannah and he had never heard of Wilco and he fell in love with there music and I would love to send him a copy. Thanks and thank you for having such a great site. I have bought all there cds and movies but nothing beats a live recording of a show you were at. Many thanks again and keep up the great work.
Aaron
Does anyone know a Wilco show where they covered "Mr. Soul"? Many thanks.
Jill, if you look at WilcoBase – last entry below under "Friends" – you won't find any reference of Wilco (or Jeff or related acts) covering "Mr. Soul." Would be a great idea, though!
Looks like a couple of times they've teased the intro to Mr. Soul before covering Neil Young's "Broken Arrow."
Here's a Google search that might help:
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=…
The "Mr. Soul" tease is actually the beginning of "Broken Arrow." Neil Young recorded a faux-live sounding "Mr. Soul" as the start of the song.
Putting up this website should earn you a good seat in Heaven.
Amen.
(thanks!)
The show has not appeared yet. A lot of shows from this past tour have not appeared.
can someone help me obtain 4.10.2010 (Phila Electric factory)
this site is great. been a wilco fan since the beginning. cant wait to see them live
Awesome website!
Does anybody have Arlene Schnitzer Auditorium (Portland OR 2010) show for download?
Please post…was at the show and love the version of Sunken Treasure!
SWEET
Love this site…
Wilco & Tweedy have inspired me to write again.
I've been writing & recording instrumentals for the past 3 years.
Since diving into Tweedyville….
The lyrics are flowing again…
I even went back to songs written 15 – 20 years ago & re-did them.
Thanks again!
