Re: wilco reissues
didn't get a chance to listen to my Being There LP box that came in today, but i listened to it via Spotify on the drive up to the mountains. of the extra stuff, nothing that great jumped out at me. seems like all the unreleased stuff stayed that way for a reason. the main record is still a great record (though side 3 is definitely the weak point), and it sounds better.
Re: wilco reissues
Seems like they maybe blew their load with the 4 CD b-side/rarities set a year or so back
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever

Side 3 has Someone Else's Song and Kingpin on it.....weak?tinnitus photography wrote:didn't get a chance to listen to my Being There LP box that came in today, but i listened to it via Spotify on the drive up to the mountains. of the extra stuff, nothing that great jumped out at me. seems like all the unreleased stuff stayed that way for a reason. the main record is still a great record (though side 3 is definitely the weak point), and it sounds better.

The Troubador show (with KCRW extras) is worth the price of admission on its own. That version of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" is awesome.

Not really in a rush to pick up a copy, but it's a stunning record and probably my favorite out of all of them.
The extra stuff is just cherry no matter how you cut it, especially if none of the bonus material came out as part of the big box set from last year (which was also great).

yep, though Sunken Treasure might singlehandedly bring it above side 4.Zip City wrote:Side 3 has Someone Else's Song and Kingpin on it.....weak?tinnitus photography wrote:didn't get a chance to listen to my Being There LP box that came in today, but i listened to it via Spotify on the drive up to the mountains. of the extra stuff, nothing that great jumped out at me. seems like all the unreleased stuff stayed that way for a reason. the main record is still a great record (though side 3 is definitely the weak point), and it sounds better.

Re: wilco reissues
BT is so front-loaded on the 1st record.
and most of the filler is definitely on the 2nd.

Re: wilco reissues
my favorite run is what's next: Summerteeth (I freaked out on that record, drove people nuts. I call it Jeff's Brian Wilson record, shades of things to come), Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Ghost is Born, the live record. for me that's as fine a 4 record streak as any band ever. & the current band has been together a long time. live, they are as good as anybody & better than most. i've posted before a concept of a sort of "cool bands that i like" tour. Wilco, DBT, My Morning Jacket, Magpie Salute (now). All day affair with everyone getting a 2 hour slot. is good to dream....tinnitus photography wrote:BT is so front-loaded on the 1st record.

Re: wilco reissues
That was a great time to be a Wilco fan, but don't forget Mermaid Avenue! They may not be out-and-out- "Wilco" albums, but I played those CDs a heck of a lot more than i did most proper Wilco albums. I count 'em.chuckrh wrote: my favorite run is what's next: Summerteeth (I freaked out on that record, drove people nuts.

Re: wilco reissues
good point, my bad! i still play "summerteeth" the most. so much going on. that's not denigrating anything else, just resonated with me hugely. favorite song though is "reservations". i was so happy they played that the last time i saw them. such a beautiful song.Yaz Rock wrote:That was a great time to be a Wilco fan, but don't forget Mermaid Avenue!

What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard
Re: wilco reissues
How many of those 82 tracks are new and how many are just alternate versions of songs we already know?
