I love how Nels solos on this performance. Specifically how tasteful it is. He doesn't jump too deep into the ideas at first, he feeds you hints as to what will come. Honestly one of the hardest parts of soloing is staying tasteful, and he's got it down to a t.
Watching him go to work tonight at Moon River Festival was jaw dropping. He tracked a whole song on a loop pedal in his spare time while they played Jesus, etc.. They then switched up to that rythym and it took off from there. Some of the most intense musicianship I've ever seen and front row at that! It was a stellar way to finally say "fuck you" to Covid.
This song sounds like a old elegant oak table that you would find in a thrift shop. The table looks as if it belongs in a castle but here you find it in the middle of a thrift shop. The old rugged carvings make it addicting to look at. You can see it’s life through just one glance at the finished divine stance. It’s the most beautiful, gorgeous, and elegant thing you have ever seen but while also being the most worn, rugged, hard looking thing you have ever seen. You can just feel the presence of home in one piece of wood. That’s the only words I can describe this song as. Weird I know.
When my son was an infant, I used to play this when he would get fussy . That first note would instantly chill him out every time. You could see a peacefulness come over him and it would put him fast asleep. Plus Nels' is Wico's secret weapon. What a talent!
eyes teared up a bit listening to this song on the way home... when Nels starts that tender solo it gets me every time...and the song just has that cozy, hopeful melancholy to it that i love.
Cozy hopeful melancholy PERFECT combo of adjectives 😍😍👌👌that's so perfect. I have listened to this song 1,00000000 times and that's just so fitting of a description
This is what love is for, to be at a place, gorgeous and alone, face to face. With no larger problems that need to be erased and nothing more important than to know someone's listening
lol not even close. just noodling around in a major key. listen to stuff like Kind of Blue if you want to hear the greatest solos. they tell beautiful and original stories instead of just shredding the same scale patterns we all know.
I've read some stupid shit on YT, but this comment, especially "just noodling around in a major key", probably takes the biscuit..thanks for the informed and enlightening words...staggering.
+inner city unit solo starts off fine enough and then from roughly 3:35-4:10 it's NOODLING AROUND IN A MAJOR KEY until he goes back to the pre-written melodies you'd hear on the record. got nothing against Nels Cline but to call this one of the greatest solos of all time is ignorant and straight up disrespectful. I was in a no-name jazz bar in Brooklyn last month and some random Philly jazz keyboardist played a solo 10x better than this. We were all floored. It annoys me to think of that brilliant guy struggling to make ends meet because armchair music fans like you would rather circle-jerk Wilco. Fuck off.
nah bud that's a strawman argument that has nothing to do with whether this is a genius level solo. you dodge the actual issue and then try to paint me as some disconnected elitist jazz douche? what does that have to do with this guitar solo we're talking about? is it one of the best solos of all time or not? if so why? if not then why are you comparing it to kind of blue? there's a huge leap in quality between those solos and this one. it's not like i'm in some tiny minority of pretentious snobs who would agree with that. i try to break the solo down and explain why i think it's noodling and your entire response is to go on a tirade about how i apparently think people who listen to wilco are "not as good" as people who listen to ornette coleman. what in the actual fuck are you talking about? and i'm not blaming the fans and the bands at all, fuck you for insinuating that. i'm blaming guys like you who take this fucking solo and then take some of the most incredible music in human history and equate them like there isn't a monstrous gulf in between. people read your bullshit and think "yeah, fuck that other guy, this IS one of the best solos of all time" and then stay in this exact box for years and don't get exposed to a shitload of badass music. you can take issue with me not sugarcoating things or whatever but at least some wilco fan can read all this bullshit and think "man that asshole really likes Kind of Blue, i should check it out."
kind of blue is modal, one key is where alot of those tunes reside. they were monster players, granted. somebody blurting out their love of a song and a particular solo, more power to them. you love music, right? then don't bother pissing on another's enjoyment. ya know?
Nearly four decades of listening to rock music and along comes this. Even by Wilco's usually sky high standards, this is a masterful combination of all the best rock has to offer. Buy this dvd, watch it and considerably enhance your life. Thank you Jeff, Nels, Pat, Glenn, Mikael and John. Please keep sending shivers down my spine.
In case you don't know what Tim S means check Steely Dan 'Peg' , 'Kid Charlemagne' or 'My Old School'. I've been returning frequently to this solo recently. The SteelyDan ones i've loved for decades.
I just saw Wilco in Milwaukee Sunday, June 18, 2017. I only knew their name. Had never heard their music. Knew they had a cult following. And had the opportunity to usher. I'm an old hippie who has heard lots and lots of the best music since my college years in the late 60s. I have been craving the guitar solos of yesteryear. FINALLY! Nels Cline fulfilled that long lost feeling with this stupendous solo. Nels, will you marry me?
That solo is wonderful!! The melody devolving into utter chaos while the rest of the band remains perfectly in the pocket, then he perfectly joins them in the most beautiful and musical way! Man!!! You killed it Nels!!!
Impossible Germany Unlikely Japan Wherever you go Wherever you land I'll say what this means to me I'll do what I can Impossible Germany Unlikely Japan The fundamental problem We all need to face This is important But I know you're not listening Oh I know you're not listening If this was still new to me I wouldn't understand Impossible Germany Unlikely Japan But this is what love is for To be out of place Gorgeous and alone Face to face With no larger problems That need to be erased Nothing more important than to know Someone's listening Now I know You'll be listening
I saw them play Portland, ME couple years ago. I knew this song would hit me hard as it is so connected to a very particular time in my life. I had no idea it would hit this hard. I openly alternated between sobbing and feeling ecstatic. That was a very special experience with people who are very special to me.
Just saw Wilco in Ottawa, Canada and Tweedy, Nels and the rest of the band are amazing! Blew me away. I had high expectations going into the concert and they far exceeded them. Thanks!
03:14 look at the passion in this man's body language when his playing this music. impossible germany is an absolute phenomenal track and this live version is the cherry on the top!
Agreed!! I'm not saying there's any comparison, but Ryan Adams & The Cardinals were capable of this kind of magic at their peak. The Cardinology Tour was incredible. Live renditions of songs such as Cold Roses would have turned into epic 10 minute jams with multiple guitars playing in harmony. Neal Casal truly was an incredible musician with a very tasteful ear. RIP
vio701able i was actually here, right in front of him in Mobile, AL. This is by far the best live version I’ve ever personally seen. It always made me laugh bc Mobile is such a dinky shit hole. I grew up here, I can say that. But a lot of the guys from MS and LA had their family in the front row and they really went all out for us.
Oh, what memories! This is so Quicksilver Messenger Service, John Cipollina is smiling from above! So, so excellent, that ethereal vibrato guitar, and the intricate weaving of the sweet lead guitars, Wilco, you've outdone yourselves!
I can't believe that we didn't get a news flash alert or presidential pronouncement the second the video of this song was released. It's absolutely incredible. Makes me love life again.
Evertime this pops up in my recommended I have to watch it. I'm not even a fan, I haven't checked out their music yet, but this song just gets stuck in my head and this performance kicks ass!
"...To be out of place Gorgeous and alone Face to face With no larger problems That need to be erased Nothing more important Than to know someone's listening Now, I know you'll be listening..."
John Stirratt is a good bass player. He lays back and plays what needs to be played, and that's it. I think that's part of the reason he's the only member besides Tweedy who's been in the band throughout its entire existence.
@@blindriv3r Yep, Wilco 1.0 was everyone not named Jay from Uncle Tupelo. When Jeff went to rehab, Stirratt ran rehersals and made sure everyone was ready to go. He's Wilco's Little Steven
I don’t have much to add to what has been said other than this is one of the absolute best guitar solos/performances I’ve ever heard in my life. I worked in a record store from 1986-2000 and I’ve heard a lot. Nels absolutely killed this on the album and live. So beautiful.
I have never been a Wilco fan...so this is the first song that resonated with me. The solo is as tasty as a Dairy Queen soft serve on an August afternoon....
What an utterly amazing song. I'm a huge Wilco fan and while I feel their older work is best, this song would definitely be in my top 10. The guitars are absolutely beautiful and Nels' solo is genius. Great fucking song.
Precioso tema de Wilco, conjunción espléndida de guitarras con un inicio suave y al fondo y sin estruendos la batería acompasando, poco a poco el sonido de guitarras crece y crece. Extraordinaria actuación del guitarrista Nels Cline, como toca!!!, Wilco ahora sabes que te estoy escuchando......
My favorite Wilco song and easily one of my favorite lead guitar solos of all time (yes, that's a bold call). Genius guitar playing. Totally out-of-the-box, nonlinear, impulsive playing that runs all over the place yet somehow still manages to create something so beautifully composed. So uniquely inspired and unexpected. I could've never thought of that. I'm jealous. Thanks Nels.
I am a maniac for Nels Cline. In 2018 saw him in a small venue in Milwaukee doing his jazz stuff. I about lost it. That was about a year after i fell in love with him at a Wilco concert in Milwaukee.
Nel's n absolute Goose bump solo.Seen him do this solo at least 5 times. It's one of rocks all time greatest. Jeff n Pat matching dual chords takes u back to bands of 70's Amazing band and l get to see them so much because they play play in our home city so much.We Chicagoans r so lucky.
dude the transition from the guitar solo back into the jam is so fucking awesome. nels literally plays a distorted version of the chords and transitions with the intensity to make a crazy ass mindfuck
This song is so freaking great. I've been listening to it since it came out and it's 10/14/23 right now. These guys are absolutely incredible to see live.
Idk if it’s just me but once he breaks into his guitar solo there’s a part where it truly sounds like the guitar is singing “can you tell me right now, you’ll love and you’ll miss me”
I have been So Very Fortunate to see this band live at least half a dozen times (Chicago area). Live, they are Perfection. Wonderful photography with Nelson Cline on lead.
This song had one of the best guitar solos that I've listened in my life
damn right :)
Was just thinking that ...
If you love this song, check out "Team 4 School of Rock Chicago." Kids less than half Wilco's age play the hell out of this classic.
Arnaldo Qu
Reminds me of Marquee Moon by Television.
0:00 - Impossible Germany, by Jeff Tweedy
2:42 - Impossible Germany, by Nels Cline
brilliant
😂
I come back and watch this all the time. I was in front of Nels for this performance. It was pure magic.
I love how Nels solos on this performance. Specifically how tasteful it is. He doesn't jump too deep into the ideas at first, he feeds you hints as to what will come. Honestly one of the hardest parts of soloing is staying tasteful, and he's got it down to a t.
Very Beethoven of him
Hear, hear. Love this analysis.
Watching him go to work tonight at Moon River Festival was jaw dropping. He tracked a whole song on a loop pedal in his spare time while they played Jesus, etc.. They then switched up to that rythym and it took off from there. Some of the most intense musicianship I've ever seen and front row at that! It was a stellar way to finally say "fuck you" to Covid.
Honestly I love listening to all their versions of this song .. i like hearing different takes on the same thing as well
Yes. Very well put. It’s a fresh and tasteful work melodic to the bone but with a healthy dose of craziness too. Just perfect, already a classic.
Found out about this song through the FX show “The bear” when I heard the opening I immediately looked up the song. Magical
Same. I can’t believe I’ve never heard this wonderful track until I watched the show.
Same here..very chill song!!
I had to shazam it right away 🔥
Me three.
Same as You...Magically moved.Thx The Bear.
I can listen to this song 100,000,000 times and never get tired of it. Amazing feeling behind it. and the best solos ever
I already listened to it and still here.
This song sounds like a old elegant oak table that you would find in a thrift shop. The table looks as if it belongs in a castle but here you find it in the middle of a thrift shop. The old rugged carvings make it addicting to look at. You can see it’s life through just one glance at the finished divine stance. It’s the most beautiful, gorgeous, and elegant thing you have ever seen but while also being the most worn, rugged, hard looking thing you have ever seen. You can just feel the presence of home in one piece of wood. That’s the only words I can describe this song as. Weird I know.
Haha so random but I love it… I’m all about that thrift
Wow
Three guitars being played like this together sound like ethereal beings dancing around each other in the atmosphere.
Probably the best guitar song in the last 20 years.
100%. Obviously the solo is godlike but the two rhythm parts are fantastic as well.
At the peak of the solo I love how John Stiratt is just chill in back looking like he's having the time of his life like, "Yeah, I'm with these guys."
He really enjoys to give the appropiate support and security that a bass player provide to this family of godlike musicians
You can’t overstate how well he’s locked in with the drums. He really does subtle yet great lines that help propel the song.
What a guy. Him and mark ibold are in a tie for the nicest guys to have in your band
When my son was an infant, I used to play this when he would get fussy . That first note would instantly chill him out every time. You could see a peacefulness come over him and it would put him fast asleep. Plus Nels' is Wico's secret weapon. What a talent!
Simply one of the best songs sincerely played out to perfection
Absolutely.
@@closer2theheart684 positively excellent and superb!!😎🤩👍🙏

tender? lol, that solo is so cutting to me, but emotional... love it
Same feel here too!
watching it is even better,,
Cozy hopeful melancholy PERFECT combo of adjectives 😍😍👌👌that's so perfect. I have listened to this song 1,00000000 times and that's just so fitting of a description
I've seen them perform that song live 7-8 times, and I get the chills every time. Absolute magic.
Nobody cares
I was at this very show right in front of Nels. I agree. Impossible Germany is always pure magic live. This one was next level, though.
@@hayimsabrina fuck you too
Every once in a while I have to come back and watch this to be reminded that there is still good in the world. That solo is transcendent. My God.
This is song is perfection. Although I'm a huge Wilco fan, this is always the one I come back to as it's my favourite. Brilliant live version too.
That solo never ceases to amaze me, it gives me the chills every time.
Putting a jazz guitarist in a rock band was the best idea anyone has ever had
he's not a jazz guitarist. He's a guitarist that plays jazz and rock. I used to follow his band in the 80's

That part where Nels comes out of his solo and the band comes in at 5:30 is just so so SO SO SO Good.
I call that the musical vortex. It's a point where it can't get anymore intense and bursts.
Incredible!
It always makes me cry
I get goosebumps when listening this part of it. This make me feel as if my soul gets out of me.
Greetings from Peru!
It makes me cry every time.
I used to listen to this every night as a kid. Still haven’t found a more masterful solo.
That solo hypes me up so much my mind is blown everytime by how perfect this song is and how they perform it
Almost want to cry every time i hear this song. One fo my favorite driving songs.
Had a privilege of listening to this live. Peak experience.
Aleksandra Jovanović Đukic i was at this very show, directly in front of Nels. It remains the highlight of all my concert going. Pure magic.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever. Always makes me feel good.
This song breaks my heart everytime
best song of the last 20 years
Elegant tones. Thats not playing a solo, he just painted one.
your definition is perfect
Such a perfect comment.
The gaps in between are just as important.
Beautiful comment
Nels Cline just melted my face.
I met him in Dublin once and they say never meet your heros but he gave me his time and was personable and kind. Nice bloke.

Jeff Tweedy's vision for writing a song is incredible. This just proves it.

The song is great, but Nels Cline's guitar makes it a masterpiece. At a concert in Zagreb many years ago, the audience sang with a solo. Pure magic.
Amazing song and guitar solo! One of my all time favorites. Wilco is such a great live band!
Fucking Nels Cline slays me every time.

Great playing as always
Nels is a great guitarist and Jeff a great writer; band is on fire especially in last 50 seconds
Brilliant
The groove of this paints a picture. Melts all the stress away and I just give in to the landscape
Great song, tremendous band.... and about guitar solo... "Less is more", simply.

Nel's n absolute Goose bump solo.Seen him do this solo at least 5 times. It's one of rocks all time greatest. Jeff n Pat matching dual chords takes u back to bands of 70's Amazing band and l get to see them so much because they play play in our home city so much.We Chicagoans r so lucky.
Can't even blink watching this.
dude the transition from the guitar solo back into the jam is so fucking awesome. nels literally plays a distorted version of the chords and transitions with the intensity to make a crazy ass mindfuck
This is a classic!
This song is so freaking great. I've been listening to it since it came out and it's 10/14/23 right now. These guys are absolutely incredible to see live.
Idk if it’s just me but once he breaks into his guitar solo there’s a part where it truly sounds like the guitar is singing “can you tell me right now, you’ll love and you’ll miss me”
I have been So Very Fortunate to see this band live at least half a dozen times (Chicago area). Live, they are Perfection. Wonderful photography with Nelson Cline on lead.
wilco sux
One of my favorite tracks , just realized it’s like some weird mix of sonic youth and steely dan
