I've found out that there are many Wilco shows up to ~2005 that have probably never been torrented (at least not since ~2005)
but have only been traded, presumably in the last years of traditional trading. Somehow, these shows were forgotten in the first
waves of torrenting - or deemed not worthy of digital distribution ... or simply those traders in possesion never made the step to
torrenting and then stopped trading altogether, like most everybody did.
I searched high and low, check countless old lists and sent a lot of asking mails to ancient email addresses. About half of them
bounced, another quarter didn't reply - and the ones that did hadn'd traded (or stopped collecting) in a long time. But then I
found two friendly persons, one in Seattle, the other on the East Coast who were willing to share shows with me. Arrangements
were made and now I am able to (re-)introduce about two dozen Wilco and Jeff Tweedy shows to you.
I have not yet listened to all, most need some work. I guess many of the original CDs are flawed by now, but apart of the odd
occasional digi scratches, everything can be rescued or restored. It'll take some time, please be patient.

Not many digiflaws here, except the obnoxious gaps immediately after every track ID. No worries, everything was easy to repair.
Surely from a cassette master, probably a track missing. Sound is rather dull at the beginning but get a lot better at ~0:40 in t05.
t01 & t13 beginning cuts in, t12 is sadly missing the end.
The whole show was re-pitched +0,3 semitones on t01 to t12 and +0,4 semitones on t13 to t24. Better but probably not perfect.
Wilcobase and Wilcosetlists have t23 as How To Fight Loneliness, in fact it's Richard & Mimi Fari�a's Reflections On A Crystal Wind.
Hilarious taper's comments grace t14, 23 & 24. Thanks Robert.
