Amazing performance, but it was not broadcast on Lettermans late night tv show. Live on Letterman was a concert series performed in the Ed Sullivan Theater (Lettermans set) and were streamed on the CBS website. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_on_Letterman
The greatest part about this band is that it is truly a sum of its parts. Every member brings something unique to the table and its greatness exists because they all came together.
Fucking Pat Sansone. What more can you say? Every time you look, he's playing a different instrument, or singing sweet harmonies. And who can even look half as cool as he does while doing it? The man is simply a polymathic badass.
Love this song album or live like so many Wilco Jams. Enjoy Jeff Tweedy loosening up, just singing and dancing to this and certain other tunes doing his own Bono but with many trees.
I just saw a video from Reverb and Tweedy talking about it. It's a signature model for Tweedy and is apparently called "Blue Mist" and is darker than Pelham Blue.
A lot of times Paul Shaffer would sit in with bands during performances. I get the feeling that when he heard Wilco was coming on he went "sure I'll sit in. What song are they doing?" then when he was told Art of Almost his response was "Um, okay, never mind. I have a hair appointment at that time".
How the fuck are there more views of this video on VEVO than here? Who doesn't know how to not watch fucking ads? I've never seen one stinking ad on youtube and would rather die than watch an ad. Song of The Year, btw, it's the new LA Woman for driving your car way too fast song.
No Jag during this performance. Nels is scratching a Fender Jazzmaster. Heavier with a longer neck and different pickups, and strings beyond the bridge)
Love John Stirratt the only original member besides Tweedy... I know you guys aint the youngest guys anymore... but what's with the tucked in button up shirt bro? He looks like he's coming off of work as the manager of Best Buy or some shit. You don't have to be a poser and wear a Slayer shirt... but dude, the tucked in button up is not working with such a rocking psyched out song. LOL.
@@danrebek9659 actually kind of. If I were watching the show it would be a little distracting to me... like, "shit, am I that guy that goes to NPR fundraisers and drinks 2 glasses of Shiraz even though my wife told me to take it easy"?? It's definitely dorky. It's a rock band.
Sounds like a dying fish flopping on a piano keyboard. It's almost irritating. Glad Tweedy got real with basic melodies and a repeating chorus, like Tom Petty did. This electronic jazz crap needs to go. Enough already.
