such an incredible orchestra of rock and roll. they can strut like the Stones, get weird like Radiohead, avant garde, punky, crunchy and heavy, jazz rock unlike you've ever heard, then there's plenty of countryish stuff, too.....best band alongside My Morning Jacket.
you probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
I've met Jeff, Nels, and John. All great guys who seem to love Wilco alchemy/synergy as much as we do. Just experienced them (and met fellow fans) at Napa's Oxbow October 15. Magic to remember life-long.
"...Sun gets passed, sea to sea Silently, and back to me With the breeze blown through Pushed up above the leaves With the breeze blown through My head upon your knee Half of it's you, half is me Half of it's you, half is me...."
Interviewed on their Ashes of American Flags DVD 📀 Tweedy says, quite a while ago now mind you, that the band could ‘probably’ absorb another change as is their History.. then adds- just not John. I do think that the drummer has made himself pretty undeniably essential now. Years later and they have managed to stay unified on a seminal live performance capture studio double album
Songwriting and musicianship what more can you say. I'm just happy for all of us these guys have created this great body of work. Thank You WILCO. I side with seeds : )
My 15 year old son just turned me on to a group called duster, I told him they reminded me of Wilco. Played him some of A ghost is born, I think there's a new Wilco fan in the house now. The torch is passed, my work is done.
Cool to see Jeff playing a Santa Cruz guitar. Imagine walking down the street and looking an a window when you hear a band jamming and it's Wilco (4:55)?? But you have no idea who it is and go on your way (4:57)....
Does it justice? Don't get me wrong. The original is beautiful. But my boy Nels straight up murders this song. He disembowels it, and wears its skin as a trophy.
@@julianormond373 yo también soy de Argentina, tengo 18 y no los ví nunca en vivo! Espero algún día poder hacerlo, ya sea acá en Argentina o allá en Estados Unidos
I am so upset that they NEVER play this song now. I have been looking at posted set lists for a few years. maybe it is Tweedys relationship with rourke or maybe he hates this time in his life and it is about his addiction although he has no problem playing handshake drugs. Maybe he doesn't want Nels going nuts on the soloing and he tells him so in future albums but either way this is my favorite wilco song and i hope they play it at some point and don't forget this song in their history
There are some songs that just have that, that ... feeling? I don't know how to explain it. It just defies explanation, but this is one of those songs. When I hear this song, it just takes me places, if that makes any sense at all.
@spartanfan10 If you had posted that comment for a video of a live version of "Company in My Back," that response would be more relevant. I don't really want to argue about something that boils down to taste, but I'll summarize my stance: this solo is better than the album version, and otherwise Nels blends very well with the other guitars.
@spartanfan10 Jay-era was good, but get real: Nels's contributions are pretty awesome on this track. Yeah, and the solo gets really intense, but the build-up is tasteful.
@pegg309 I remember thinking how Pat looks like he's 25, then I saw a picture of him with a bushy gray beard and thought my life had flashed before my eyes.
The performance here is better maybe, but the recording on the record is so well engineered that I'd pick it every day. There's so much subtelty in all the parts and the dynamics in the song that are lost in the live version
@@TheLetterH111 Appreciate the reply honestly. I've been getting replies to comments my teenage self left on a bunch of songs. It's been entertaining to see how much my music taste has changed since then
To me this song, and album, answered the question of whether Wilco and Jeff Tweedy could follow up Uncle Tupelo, Being There and most importantly Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Obviously the answer is yes. The beauty of this song is in the songwriting - both the lyrics and the music - and the arrangement. Nothing is out of place. Right before Nels joined Wilco Jeff performed the guitar solos live and he also took charge of the song. Do you really want to critique Jeff Tweedy on his musical choices?
Yes -- Filmed as part of the Chicago episode of the "BURN TO SHINE" series by Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty and filmmaker Christoph Green - shooting local bands in a buildings about to be demolished. Per the Chicago Reader's Bob Mehr (1/27/05) : "At the Chicago shoot, on September 13 [2004], the crew tore out part of the ceiling in the living room, allowing what was dubbed the “drum cam” to capture some striking overhead angles" "The Chicago property was offered up by Edgewater resident John Gorlewski, a program manager for a local research company and longtime Fugazi fan who’d seen a Craigslist posting from the filmmakers. He’d bought the house next to his own, and it was scheduled for demolition. (It was too close to neighboring buildings for the fire department to burn it down first.) Canty enlisted his friend Bob Weston, the bassist for Shellac, as curator and recording engineer. Weston picked a wide range of artists, including the Lonesome Organist, Tight Phantomz, Pit Er Pat, the Red Eyed Legends, and Freakwater. "
The songwriting is why I love Wilco. The lyrics are amazing. The feel is so natural. Glenn lays down such intricate yet groovy parts. And then Nels just wails his heart out and ruins everything. I miss Jay.
