AUSTIN CITY LIMITS gets introspective as the series brings viewers singer/songwriters Damien Rice and Patty Griffin.

Wooohooo!! Two of my favorites!! smileys/smiley4.gifI actually love Austin City Limits... it airs on public television and even when I didn't have cable TV with good ole PBS you still had Dr. Who, Austin City Limits, and basically decent programming for free! I will definitely be tuned in (with tape in decksmileys/smiley2.gif) for this one!


Thanks for the heads up, Brendan! smileys/smiley32.gif

[administrator]

thanks brendan, think they recorded that a long time ago so it's good they'll finally be showing it

Yeah, you asked me about it way back then. I haven't forgotten to look for it, but Brendan beat me smileys/smiley6.gifsmileys/smiley2.gif


They have an archive, too, so there might eventually have clips:

[mestonf]

can we get that in england?

[SisterMidnight]

I'm not sure Felix but I'll record it (sure others will too!) and maybe we could get it to Emmett somehow to put up on the site? It's recorded in Austin, Texas and only airs on Public Television so don't know if you can get it over there. The show itself usually lasts for an hour and they feature 2 or 3 artists, so Damien's segment will probably be at least a half hour I'd think.


How long ago was it recorded? During the last USsweep or sometime last fall/winter??


ps- thanks for the link, Angela! smileys/smiley1.gif

[greenlee2]

I'm so excited!! I only watched ACL when ben harper was on but i will be watchin Damien with tape in deck as well.smileys/smiley4.gif

[Angela]

maybe we could get it to Emmett somehow to put up on the site?


Someone would have to record it directly to a PC, I guess. They have PAL TV over in Ireland (and most of the rest of the world), but we (you and I) will be recording a NTSC VHS. I don't have a capture card, though smileys/smiley5.gif


Emmett's PM to me indicatedthis was recorded around June 7th.

[SisterMidnight]

Ooookayyy... ya lost me already, Ange!smileys/smiley36.gif Capture card? Now that I think of it I guess they do have different tape formats in Europe... hmm... we must find a way to get this to the European eskimos tho! I'm sure they would do the same for us! (okay I'm going to sound like a total techno idiot but is it possible to record from TV to DVD? or is there a program like Audiograbber that would capture video? Emmett got those showclips from Ireland up somehow...)





Emmett's PM to me indicatedthis was recorded around June 7th.





Cool. Thanks. smileys/smiley1.gif

[Angela]

I've never done it. But there are a lot of US eskimos around, hopefully some gadget freaks smileys/smiley36.gif


Yes, there are DVD's that can record. I think it's easier if you have cable and a TV capture card. You can record the TV signal straight to the hard drive. I think loveless is doing that.

[mestonf]

ahh cool ok recording it would be good!

[Krystian]

yay! Finally Damo's gonna be on a channel that I actual get smileys/smiley36.gif

[rileyf]

is this gonna be the whole band or just himself?

[rileyf]

heres more info: http://www.pbs.org/klru/austin/artists/
program455.html

still cant figure out if the bands with him tho. the songs that will be aired
are: volcano, delicate, amie, the blowers daughter, and cannonball.

it looks like they recorded this show just 2 or 3 days before his bonnaroo
appearance

[#Ian#]

Actually most modern PAL video recorders will happily play NTSC tapes.

yay! Finally Damo's gonna be on a channel that I actual get smileys/smiley36.gif

Yes I have a Voodoo 3 3500 graphics card with built-in TV Tuner (http://www.sysopt.com/reviews/3500tv/boardpod-lg.jpg)

http://www.sysopt.com/reviews/3500tv/boardpod-sm.jpg

but I'm getting rid of that this week with a new ATI 9600 All In Wonder card.

Well, I'm sure glad you know what the hell you're doing Brendansmileys/smiley36.gif

Well, I'm sure glad you know what the hell you're doing Brendansmileys/smiley36.gif


i couldn't have said it better smileys/smiley5.gifsmileys/smiley36.gif

[Angela]

Damn, I might even have a TV tuner myself. Those are two coxial cable connectors, right? Though my cable is in another room and I don't have a laptop. smileys/smiley5.gif

[Loveless]

With the old TV tuner I had a TV aerial plugged straight into the back of the card and just used the signal from that, but yeah the new ATI can take in the Cable TV feed.

I have the exact same problem as you Angela.. need to run a coaxial cable to bring the Cable signal upstairs to the PC.

Have to get it done by Friday cos Other Voices 2 returns on Friday night and I want to start recording it with the new card.

[Angela]

Hmmm...this is giving me ideas. smileys/smiley23.gif

[SisterMidnight]

Yay Angela!! smileys/smiley4.gifTechie babe to the rescue! smileys/smiley2.gif

[Angela]

Now that you put all that pressure on me smileys/smiley2.gifI finally looked what hardware I have and it turns outmy ATI card doesn't havea TV-tuner smileys/smiley19.gifI only have TV-out to connect my PC to a TV for display, but no coaxial connector.


VHS it will be.

[SisterMidnight]

Sorry Ange but you're the resident igloo techie.smileys/smiley2.gif I have a TV out too that works with an "S" adapter... ???smileys/smiley5.gif Ah sh*t I'm out of my league! Wish I knew more about this stuff! smileys/smiley18.gifAre there no American Eskimos that can help out here?? C 'mon guys! The 16th is coming up!! Any ideas? Anyone??


You gonna send a tape to Emmett, Ange? Will VHS work in Europe then? Are there copyright issues we should be aware of as far as posting it on the site? Have I annoyed you enough with my endless questions yet? smileys/smiley4.gif


I'm just really looking forward to the show (Damien and Patty!) and wish we could share it with our other eskimo friends, ya know? smileys/smiley1.gif

[Angela]

TV-out is if you want to connect a regular TV to your PC. Windows XP supports two monitors, so you could add a TV to your regular PC/PC-monitor set up. Why would you want to do such thing? Maybe for viewing your DVD's on a cheap large screenTV using your computer's DVD drive.


The TV's here in the US differ from the Irish ones! our VHS tapes are NTSC format and in most of Europe the TV's have a higher resolution than our US TV's and to take advantage of that, the tapes are in PAL format.


I know, I know. The irony! The average American watches 6 hours (?) TV in poor quality and the Germans, for instance, watch on average only 2 hours TV but have the better TV's! http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/smileys/smiley13.gif


http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/smileys/smiley24.gifYoucan have aNTSC VHS converted to a PAL DVD for $20 or so.


I didn't invent any of this, so don't hit me, please! smileys/smiley36.gif

[SisterMidnight]

http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gifThanks for answering all of my annoying questions! http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gifBesides I'm a lover not a fighter!

[Angela]

smileys/smiley31.gifI know! smileys/smiley1.gif

[SisterMidnight]

2 days! Woooo! smileys/smiley4.gifIf I were rich I would seriously go and spring for a capture card and all that cool equipment like Loveless has. And sureI'll be glued to the tube since I obviously don't have a date for Saturday night. smileys/smiley19.gifsmileys/smiley17.gif


Angela... you're my new huggin' buddy girl! smileys/smiley31.gif

[Angela]

I looked at the capture cards. The one I have with a TV-in would be $250 smileys/smiley19.gifAnd mine is only a year old.


Guess who else will spend Saturday night in front of hte TV smileys/smiley6.gif


...that calls for anotherhug!smileys/smiley31.gifsmileys/smiley36.gif

[SisterMidnight]

Awww Ange! We should have a just us girls sleepover and we could watch Damien and gush about cute boys all we want and paint each others toenails and eat chocolate and ice cream and junk food for comfort! smileys/smiley17.gif


Yeah I priced them too... those suckers are expensive huh? smileys/smiley5.gif

[Angela]

Well, you will not believe this...but I had a reminder in my calendar for today, but my TV listing shows no Damien smileys/smiley19.gifand it turns out none of my frigging PBS stations is showing ACL. smileys/smiley7.gifIs Austin too far from Boston? smileys/smiley18.gif

[Strobe1203]

i just went to pbs.org and it says damien isnt on till next saturday. it says this saturday is robert randolph and the family band. is that what the schedule reads for other people?

[greenlee2]

Yeah, thats soo depressing, it says that on mine too smileys/smiley19.gif

[Angela]

Apparently it depends on what market you are in. If you go here: http://www.pbs.org/klru/austin/tvschedule/localtimes.htmlyou can look for a local broadcast by ZIP code. There's no listing for Boston whatsoever for this month. smileys/smiley19.gif

[Krystian]

What a great show! They did a close up of "lisa's dolly" . I am just so exited right now because I can get some new cello tabs finally smileys/smiley4.gifWOO! smileys/smiley32.gif

[SisterMidnight]

It was on for you, Krystian?! http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gifWas it the whole band then? I'm like everybody else, I went to watch it and got Red Dwarf and Dr. Who instead! http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/smileys/smiley22.gifI checked my local listings tho and it's supposed to be on Friday, Oct. 22 at 11:30 for me now.

[rileyf]

[Angela]

Well, I guess it's nice two of us got to see it. smileys/smiley5.gif

Just everyone minus Tomo


I'm in Atlanta so maybe that's why I was only one of the few who got to see it last night

[andrea02]

The Nashville station played Damien's episode. And boy was it great! Think I even found Damien a couple of new fans thanks to Austin City Limits.

[SisterMidnight]

I'm so confused!! smileys/smiley5.gifHow could it have aired a few weeks ago for one dude on the front page and ppl like Angela won't be getting it at all?! I'm still getting my video tape ready for Friday night! But still... smileys/smiley5.gif

[Krystian]

The people in the audience were a little weirded out by the spacy sound thing whatever its called. It's like they were confused by what was going on...http://eskimofriends.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gifEdited by: Krystian

[mestonf]

That spacey sound is a thing he does reguarly at the end of amie, its sort of (correct me if i'm wrong) meant to represent the shooting stars and the outer world! I love it, when i saw him back in february it was the most weiredest thing because i couldn't talk whilst it was happening couldn't even feel my vocal chords moving! smileys/smiley5.gif Weired but cool!

Well I have only seen him live once and he did not use that spacey thing. Now that I think of it the sounds really did represent shooting stars. I would have never thought of that one!

[mestonf]

Yeah its all to do with his little story behind amie - sometimes called song for scottish people where he does this scottish voice for it! Tres' cool!

[Hannah650]

ooh i lurve when he does that voice! Esp in the Paradiso concert, when he messes it up by mentioning Ireland!

Yeah when we saw him after Amie my son turned to me and said "Did that just change your heartbeat? Because it changed mine?!" I just nodded looking amazed. I'm not sure what it did but it totally floored me! It was very intense. I think you're right on the interpretation there, Felix. Another guy at the gig I was at said it sounded like a spaceship landing! smileys/smiley36.gif


Krystian if my local PBS doesn't air it as scheduled I might take you up on that offer! smileys/smiley2.gifStill so confused over PBS programming schedules! smileys/smiley5.gif

[mestonf]

Yeah the sound he makes is really wiered melissa would love to know how he produces it? is it pre-recored? Not sure.

[Angela]

Krystian if my local PBS doesn't air it as scheduled I might take you up on that offer! smileys/smiley2.gifStill so confused over PBS programming schedules! smileys/smiley5.gif


You have to look up at the ACL homepage when your local PBS station airs it.

[SilentNight]

just heard the mp3 from this site, thanks Emmettesmileys/smiley1.gif



SisterMidnight, i like what your son said



"Did that just change your heartbeat? Because it changed mine?!"smileys/smiley4.gif</span>

[Jgrg1984]

yea. i love that.its really is true come to think of it.its airing on my local station tonight, i cant wait to see it.

[Krystian]

Just watched the show over again, and dl the tracks that Em put up.


I love how Vyv added a "jazzy" intro!! I also noticed how she uses
certain harmonics (that are often overlooked becuase they sound a bit weird) inAmie that is smileys/smiley4.gifthey really add something to the song. They are so soft you barely notice emEdited by: Krystian

[Jgrg1984]

i wonder what the full set list was because damo had his telecaster as well as another acoustic sitting behind him???

[Krystian]

I noticed those as well. Maybe they were just there to look pretty and not use for the show smileys/smiley2.giferr.... umm... I have no cluesmileys/smiley5.gif

I'm gonna listen for that when I record the show later, Krystian. smileys/smiley1.gifThanks for offering to share tho. smileys/smiley31.gif

[Krystian]

no prob! *hint- Vyv is using harmonics when you her finger is barely touching the strin, i.e. no fingers are "pressed down"*

Im not too sure they would go through the trouble of setting them up just for show. Candles work well i hear. I would love to find out he did a full set, and more so i would love to see or hear it.

I would love to hear that they did a full set, but I don't think they did. I mean they opened with Volcano, something to catch the audience with possibly, then all of the other songs flowed together...hmm I dunno if they did or not thoughsmileys/smiley5.gif

[Jgrg1984]

yet another unsolved mystery

[Krystian]

unfortunetly smileys/smiley5.gif

[Strobe388]

hey krystian i would love it if i could get a copy of the performance since i didnt get a chance to catch the whole thing.

[myfriendbill]

I think the noise at the end of Amie is made by turning the speed of his looping pedal down. I couldn't move when he did it when I saw him. Also, when I saw him, the room went black and then a spot light was shone on a disco ball wich sent little lights all over the room. Really a good special effects combination considering how little it takes to make it.

[Jgrg1984]

simplicity is an art form

[Hannah650]

And he is a master of it!

[Jgrg1984]

indeed he is

[SisterMidnight]

I did watch and record the show Friday night. Honestly... not one of Damien's best performances imo.smileys/smiley5.gif I've always thought the ACL crowd would be a hard one to play to tho. I mean, it's Texas, and if you have kind of country/twangy material you can work the crowd better. Obviously Damien doesn't have anythingeven slightly resemblingtwang going on... thank god!! smileys/smiley4.gifHe did do the distortion/looping bit at the end of Amie but it seemed abbreviated and Krystian was right! The crowd looked downright confused! smileys/smiley36.gifOtherwise it was a very reserved performance and stuck to tracks from "O" with little embellishment or departure. I think it would have been better with Tomo there and Shane might as well not have been because I couldn't even really hear him. I found myself looking around going "Where's Shane?!" smileys/smiley4.gif


Patty Griffin gave a pretty good performance, but artists in general never seem to be completely at ease on Austin City Limits to me. (Maybe that's just me. I'm just always tickled to see quality acts... in any venue.) But Patty does have some kind of country-ish tunes and can take her voice there too... tho that is just a sample of what she does and is capable of doing... but she wisely pulled those numbers out for the Austin crowd.


I'm not saying Damien, Lisa, Vyv and Shane's performance was bad just not one of their best. They didn't seem to be feeling it. And the mix was off, sound-wise. I'm blaming it on the venue and their crappy soundman. smileys/smiley2.gif

[Jgrg1984]

shanes bass was too high on volcano...and damo's voice was a little off too....
