Date: 22-12-2009
Winston Calling was a huge success. We would like to thank everyone who made it out to the show, including the musicians who were kind enough to be a part of this great event:
Flea; Joey Santiago; David Lovering; She Wants Revenge; Weird Al Yankovic; Michael Penn; David J; Grand Duchy; The 88; OK GO; Jack Black w/ Tenacious D; Tim and Eric; Bob Odenkirk; Brian Posehn; & more
One hundred percent of the proceeds generated (which amounted to more than $22,000) was handed over to baby Winston and his family. The two concerts have also been streamed by over 41,000 people and can still be viewed HERE.
Live photos (by Aaron Lucy) can also be viewed HERE. (http://www.therocknrollsupershow.com/news/2009/12/14/over-41000-tune-into-winston-calling-webcast.html)

love the version of "oh my golly" - also pretty neat cause i think this is one pixies song that was never performed live as a band, frank solo or anything, so to see it here is a treat.

Do you mean all the videos of YouTube user http://www.youtube.com/user/okeastron2008? Or just the ones with Frank Black in it?
Or are you talking about other videos?
I tried one, I Bleed. I tried to extract the original audio stream from the YouTube video (which is apparently encoded in AAC): http://www.mediafire.com/?tmadwmntjjk
Does that sound ok enough?

there are lots of online sites that convert youtube videos, like this one http://www.video2mp3.net/
will only sound as good as the youtube compressed audio, but you can do it
i took some pics of the show but don't think i got any of Bauhaus dude. i'm sure there'll be a bunch online / Flicker etc.. lots of people taking pics

That's a really great thing for Charles to do. If Black Francis alone isnt enough to make the night historic - Tim and Eric will surely help haha love those guys |

anyone know if calling is the only way to get tickets to this?
I am in australia, but will most likely be in LA around that date - would love to secure a spot.
And even if i dont make it to the show at least my money goes to the cause. |
