[slunken]

you would be thinking of the 2004-04-19 show i believe

[slunken]

spike driver exists elsewhere (now i'm trying to remember) but this show is cut before the encores

these are the clips from the church sessions they shared on that integralnaked website: http://www.mediafire.com/?c0n68d77fz3xh
looks like number four is missing. will look for that later, if i can remember.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

never mind. i googled church sessions, and found this: http://uboardmedia.com/media/Solo/Vi...ch%20Sessions/

oh yeah, this is exactly what i was thinking of, thank you! i'm not knowledgeable about where to look to seek out these answers myself; is it safe to assume there is not a full audio recording around?

this is pretty cool, i didn't realize there were videos of this quality from that show.
it's a shame they're so short
white city is especially great
i used to listen to some boot where it was all very reverbrant and listening to this it's suddenly so much clearer
i really do wish he wouldn't be such a giant douchebag and just release all this great stuff just lying around

well, it was in a church for starters

[Cool As Ice Cream]

there isn't.
maybe b-corg will release some of these "church sessions" one day?

there's an incomplete recording from the live show around, as well as two filmed songs (the world's fair and another one, i believe with bobby in the title).
but this show was also supposed to be released one day.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

yep: http://www.splra.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bc2004-04-19
incomplete audience recording, and videos for "the world's fair" and "bobby franks".
and apparently a different audience recording (frank "rat bastard" quinto?) from "you were mine" is also out there.

lolz

i never bothered transferring it. if i recall, the music volume was so low and the audience so loud that it was a headache to listen to.

i found the minidiscs, but it's probably not worth transferring or ever listening to.

I still think you should at least transfer the end of Columbus and the encores, I don't think any of us have ever heard full versions of Spike Driver or Come Undone!

I thought this was all stuff that is part of the "Chicago Kid" project that is supposed to be released in a couple years.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

yep. that's the plan.
we'll see though... it was originally going to be released in 2004 or 2005.

Along with the Last Metro Show, Djali Zwan stuff, etc..

I'm surprised demos for Zwan, The Future Embrace, and Zeitgeist have never surfaced. We've got demos for pretty much everything else.

LOVE YOU, QUINTANO!

lol

[wHATcOLOR]

hahahah!! frank "rat bastard" quinto

[slunken]

the audience is only loud (and really loud by comparison) between songs but i found them to be pretty quiet during the actual tunes. i just faded the tracks out and turned down the audience for a personal version from my source.

[slunken]

for a few years it was probably my most listened to boot

[slunken]

i mean - take out the in-between song screaming/cheering and its a cleaner recording than, say, the adore viper room show

[Pizza Club]

This is one of the handful of shows that I can hear myself on the recording.

[Duke1497]

Only Chicago songs I've heard are "Black Sox" and "Black Irish"

I really liked black Irish.

Does anyone know Corgans motivation for writing black Irish? It sounded like a love song to me...

[slunken]

he was reinterpreting classic turn of the century folk sheet music

[Duke1497]

Wait... What?

Duke is confused

[Duke1497]

See, I always thought other one girl named emilie that he dated that thought she was a fairy or something.

I was like 12 when I first heard the song, and I was thinking "wait, he's climbing up her fire escape because she dumped him? Creepy..."

[slunken]

might as well do it all though

yeah, i'm probably not going to do that. i fact, i should just destroy it. it's a lousy recording anyway.
