        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” 🙂

    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!

    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..

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..

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The show has not appeared yet. A lot of shows from this past tour have not appeared.

    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!
