Wilco’s live show at Constitution Hall on June 30th 2003
John Viega was nice enough to share it with me (which is ok because Wilco allows fans to tape their live shows and distribute copies of them).
I’ve gone ahead and created a tarball of the whole thing. It’s in Apple’s AAC format so you’ll need a Mac running OSX and iTunes 4 or greater to listen to it. The sound is surprisingly good considering:
- Constitution hall is a pretty noisy venue
- John was ‘toward the back’
- He was using a small portable recorder1
It’s certainly good enough quality to enjoy though. He said it sounds as good as it does cause he turned the bass filter on. In fact he said it sounds better then he was hearing it in his seat.
You can download the whole concert here. It’s ~94 MB so you should have a fast connection.
1 It was recorded with a Sony DAT Walkman (don’t make them anymore) and Core Audio microphones with a Bass Roll Off Filter.
