boiler Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I've been downloading and watching a lot of this show lately. The breadth of talent they put on this show is amazing. Not only that but the sound quality and cinematography is mind blowing. Especially if you're lucky enough to watch it in HD.I've watched an absolutely rocking Racontuers set, followed by the amazing Cat Power. The wise and legendary John Prine, making a comeback performance from Cancer. I was amazed watching Alejandro Escovedo and his band, consisting of two guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, two Cellos and a violin player. The guitar playing in this show was stunning. Wilco gave a mellow and haunting performance. Allison Kraus and Union Station kept my feet tapping with their brand of bluegrass music. When the foot wasn't tapping it was because they switched up to one of thier enchanting ballads.Here's a list of some of the upcoming episodes and a link to the Austin City Limits website. http://www.pbs.org/klru/austin/ 03.22.08 | Alison Krauss + Union Station followed by Kathleen Edwards (encore)03.29.08 | Juanes (encore)04.05.08 | Ryan Adams followed by Tift Merritt (encore)04.12.08 | John Prine followed by Amos Lee (encore)04.19.08 | Ray Davies (encore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingbear Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) awesome man, with no cable i never see it anymore. thanks for the link! oh yeah...i also like KT Tunstall even though i feel she is kinda top 40ish. KT by the way is there anyway to save these songs, those from the video, onto your computer? ie. so then you can load them to your ipod?

geomouse Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 They do it up right for sure BR. I swear the 'unplugged' team stole the whole format for its sheer depth of appeal. It always seems to bring you right through the screen and onto the stage. Neil's appearances have always floored me and he must have been thinking of those shows when he produced Harvest Gold. Have I got that right? Y'know the latest live film where he's playing Hank's old Martin? Brings me to tears with its integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 and if its tv can you convert to mp3?What paisley said. Sometimes when you download video it comes in DVD format. That's fine if you burn yo DVD's. I connect my media player up to my TV so I convert everything from DVD format to .avi. I use software called AutoGK to do that. http://www.autogk.me.uk/There's also software out there that will allow you to record audio stream from your soundcard to mp3. Here's a link for a free one. http://www.download.com/Audio-Recorder-for-Free/3000-2168_4-10427509.html?tag=lst-3 I've never tried it, so I can't vouch for it. Thanks for that link paisley, just got the Willie Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Damn, just finishing up the Ray Davies episode right now. Killer stuff. He's got a great band backing him up.

Jaimoe Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Damn, just finishing up the Ray Davies episode right now. Killer stuff. He's got a great band backing him up. Makes my pissed for missing the show here a couple of weeks ago And the ACL performance gives the illusion that Ray's live focus nowadays is on his solo material, which it is not if you catch him at the Bluesfest. It was 70-30 Kinks in Toronto, however his new solo stuff more than holds its own, which is no small feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 FRANZ FERDINAND FOLLOWED BY WHAT MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS TONIGHT!!!Let's do it up kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 alejandro has been to ottawa bluesfest twice in the last 3 years. I saw him the first time and was blown away by an incredibly gorgeous set. I made sure to catch some of his performance last year. I think he was playing at the same time as clinton's p-funk, so I caught some george, and then went to the smaller stage to see the rest of alejandro's set. wicked shit.i held my little roland recorder over my head to capture a little bit of it from last year.here's the clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 That's what I thought was on.. It's usually a week behind the schedule when you don't have HDTV. I didn't stay up to watch it so I don't know.Regardless, Alejandro's version of "Sway" kicks my ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I should have prefaced my earlier post in sarcastic purple. I'm shocked that you are excited about Franz Ferdinand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I was more excited about What Made Milwaukee Famous.. Franz Ferdinand don't totally do it for me but some of their shit ain't horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I just find some of their music, i.e. the singles, really obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I can't listen to much of their stuff either. The singles are pretty weak too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 The upcoming encore of Explosions in the Sky is well worth checking out, although I don't like them paired with the self-aggrandizing Decemberists. I'd like to punch that lead singer in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 if anyone can point me to a torrent of the arcade fire's ACL set, please do so. i can't find it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
