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've searched high and low, checked 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't traded (or stopped collecting) in a long time. But then I
found some nice persons who were willing to share shows with me.
Arrangements were made and in 2018/19 I was able to share almost 30 Wilco and Jeff Tweedy shows with you.
As a result, a couple more Wilco collectors got in touch and provided me with some more shows that I'll be able to share with you,
some have never circulated, others have not been torrented for a long, long while.
I still have not listened to them all, most need some work. I guess many of the original CDs are flawed by now,
but most can be rescued or restored with just some problems remaining, it'll take some time, please be patient.

If anybody knows of or has a connection to 'old-time' Wilco traders or even tapers, please ask them to get in touch,
there are still a couple dozen shows out there that are known to have been recorded and traded in the pre-torrent era.

notes to the 2022 edition:
October 25, 2002. Michigan Theater, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Pretty good recording, considering it came from a MiniDisc master, just a bit distant. Received as FLAC files.
There were a handful of really small cuts in the wavs, mostly in the applause, that were repaired without problems.
Originally there was a fade out/in at the end of Reservations/encore break. Presumably, the taper had 74min mini-discs.
I did a smooth crossfade that is hardly noticable, there may actually be only a few seconds missing. Thanks Neil !
