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, three more Wilco collectors got in touch and provided me with some more shows that I’ll be able to share with you.
I have not yet listened to 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 thinks that he has un(der)circulated shows, please get in touch, I can provide you with information about these shows !

notes to the 2020 edition:
Well, for the start of the second round, here’s a real find, Wilco’s second ever show, actually the first one they played under their name
as they were billed as ‘Black Shampoo’ for their first one on November 17. There are as many old Uncle Tupelo songs here as Wilco’s own
new material, plus some Golden Smog and more. I assume this is from a cassette master as I had to adjust the pitch.
Only minor repairs had to be done, I also added some light EQ. Many thanks to Henrik.

[additional notes from J. : 2016]:
The source for this version was made from my own re-compiled 1st-gen master tapes, shortly after the concert. As with so many live tapes I made back then, I would often consolidate segments from multiple cassettes onto one tape, applying fade-ins, fade-outs, and occasionally, some equalization in the process. If only I still had those original tapes!

Working on the “Mr. Smith” recording of this performance got me a bit excited. Nearly thirty years later, it was the first time I had seen another source for that show other than my own, and I held my breath, in the hopes that the other taper might have caught the last three songs which I missed, due to failing batteries. Alas, it was not to be the case, after all. Still, it provided the incentive for me to revisit my own recording; and I was curious how it would fare on one of the NAK decks I had picked up recently. I was nearly certain that I had already digitized this in the past, but after a good bit of research, there was no evidence of having actually done so. If it’s true that I never actually got around to it before, than this might possibly be the first digitized version from this source recording, unless someone can prove otherwise.

As this particular recording has long been one of my absolute favorites, it’s kind of ironic that at the time, I wasn’t even remotely a fan, but the young woman I was fond of at the time was a huge fan, so naturally I didn’t waste any time getting tickets, and was lucky enough to score some tickets in the fifth row (which as it turned out, did wonders for the quality of the recording). If I had been indifferent about the show when I walked into the venue, that feeling was completely gone by the end of the show; it was one of the few performances I can say was truly memorable.

For reasons I will never know, my batteries – which were brand new right before the show – chose to stop working as Waits returned to stage and began singing “Time”. I tried starting the deck again, but I could see the battery light had lost its’ glow, and I kind of knew it was a lost cause. He followed that with “Train Song”, which was also not recorded, and then left the stage again, to return a few minutes later for one final encore. I believe I was actually fighting back tears when the first notes of “Tom Traubert’s Blues” began, and I realized I was not going to be able to convince my tape deck to record one more note.

Once outside, we decided to loiter in the parking lot behind the venue, where the tour bus was parked. I hadn’t realized that the wall I was leaning on while lighting my cigarette was in fact a door, until it suddenly jerked open and nearly knocked me to the ground. “Oh! Sorry, man!”, I heard a familiar voice exclaim, as a spritely fellow quickly reached out to help me back on my feet; and once I was upright, the voice quipped, “Hey, can I get a light from you?” Of course, I immediately recognized him as the same character I had just spent the past two hours watching on stage. My friend and I chatted with him for a few minutes about nothing in particular, before others started to congregate in the lot, and we knew it was time to say goodbye. I know I silently cursed the batteries in my deck for not working, since it was still strapped under my jacket, and it would have been fun to have recorded our meaningless little chat.

Four days later, recording for “Big Time” began, on November 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. When that concert film came out, I honestly felt that I had a recording that better captured the energy of Tom Waits in performance mode, but I suppose every taper must think that about at least one of their own recordings. It’s all good, as the kids like to say.

“I Wish I Was In New Orleans” and “9th & Hennepin” are complete on this recording.

This recording is incomplete.

additional notes [01001010; 2016]:
J. was pretty sure that he had digitized this before and that it had been on the DIME tracker, but we couldn’t find any notes in the physical archives, and there doesn’t seem to be any mention of it in the DIME-bot-list. If anyone can confirm that it was shared digitally, please let us know! In any case, this sounds pretty good – enjoy!

“You shouldn’t have. His recordings were at ‘best’ personal souvenirs. They were not quality recordings. They should not be shared. Those tapes belong on a waste dump.”

This show was recorded by a fella that I simply knew as Hippie Tom. He wasn’t the greatest taper, but he recorded some shows that appears no one else did. Trading with him was fairly easy, but it was could be annoying. He never took much care into his equipment, and often just pumped out CDRs at 72X speed or used dirty heads on his tape deck. It was quite disappointing, as I had to often re-ask for a recording. Yet, he wasn’t a bad guy at all, he just didn’t learn or care to learn proper trading.

When I came back to Minneapolis last year, 2009, I seeked him out. It was then I found out that he passed away a few years ago. Another taper, J.A., got most of his collection. J.A. then sold some of them to a friend of mine of ones that he didn’t care to keep. My friend was kind enough to lend me that tape which was labelled in Hippie Tom’s writing, “1st gen. from safety copy” I got very lucky to obtain it. Hippie Tom’s master tape very likely no longer exists!

The bar holds around 300 people, and this night, I think there was about 550. It was seriously overpacked. Warning! There is a lot of crowd noise jerks on this! God, who in the hell is that girl?!? And what? do folks have to sing along?! But, folks were seriously pumped up for this show. Most of us were in our 20’s then, and The Band barely ever came out to MN, so some thought to get sloopy drunk and got very annoyingly loud. These people probably only knew ‘The Best Of Band’, if even that. I’m fairly quiet (as I am at all shows), although I can hear myself on this in some parts. I didn’t drink, but I toked quite a large amount of herb that evening, but I remember the show very vividly. In fact, you can hear very faintly someone say on this, “That’s Tom’s.. that’s Tom Shyman’s pipe..”, which is indeed a reference to me! (blush) It’s really amazing that I hear a lot of people in the crowd that were my friends back then, and some still are. Some ‘fans’ were quite mean as well, with “That guy (Danko) is going to have a heart attack!”, about him being overweight.

All in all, the recording is what it is, and nothing can change that. I’m just feel seriously lucky I can re-live it this crazy night again, and this time hopefully without a hangover!

Thanks again, Hippie Tom. You live on in the torrent world now!

As always, enjoy!

Bob Dylan – Minneapolis, MN (12/22/61)

Bob Dylan
“Omie Wise”
from the “Minnesota Hotel Tape”
recorded by Tony Glover, December 22, 1961
Minneapolis, MN

Here’s a surprisingly undercirculated Dylan track for you: the uncut version of “Omie Wise” (aka “Naomi Wise” and “Deep Waters”), from the venerable “Minnesota Hotel Tape,” recorded, as the Dylan legend has it, in Bonnie Beecher’s Minneapolis apartment by Tony Glover. (And the legend probably has its facts straight.)

Most currently circulating verions of the Minnesota Hotel Tape are sourced to a relatively low-gen copy of the source recording; the most common go back to the Wanted Man “Minnesota Tapes” commercial boot or to the even lower-gen sourced Dylantree fan project “Early Dylan.
(What’s Dr. Mike up go these days, anyway?) All of the later commercial boots have been knockoffs of one or the other of these two sources. The sound quality is very good to excellent — but the immediate source recording had developed a few minor defects over the decades, most conspicuously a long dropout in the last verse of “Omie Wise,” losing aa line of Dylan’s vocals. There were some repaired versions of “Early Dylan” floating around, but somehow the only versions to be torrented or treed simply closed the gap without patching in the missing audio.

There have been undamaged versions of the track around, somewhat higher gen, generally dating back to the vinyl era, and very hard to find without wear and tear to the grooves. About a month ago, JTT uploaded elsewhere a very clean vinyl transfer of an early LP boot which included a full version of the track.

So here you have it: a not-quite-lost, but hard to turn up, classic Dylan track from 1961. There’s nothing revelatory in the previously missing vocals, but it’s just nice to have the whole thing around again. My vinyl copy was awfully ragged.

Relevant excerpts from JTT’s notes follow. Torrent also includes LP cover scan modified to fit CD cases, also rom the original upload.
