- Far, far away
From those city lights
That might be shining on you tonight
Far, far away from you
On the dark side of the moon
I long to hold you in my arms and sway
Kiss and ride on the CTA
I need to see you tonight
And those bright lights
Oh, I know it's right
Deep in my heart
I'll know it's right
By the bed, by the light that you read by
By the time that I get home to say good night
I need to see you again
On the dark side my friend
On the dark side
Wilco was my favorite band in the 90's. Now it's my 21 year old musician son's favorite band. Great music is great music - regardless of eras.
Thanks for this!
Jesus on the pedal steel! Love that sound...works in Being There.
Glad to see people still coming to watch the video because the oldest comments are 7 years old
We are still coming
Damn now your comment is the one that’s 7 years old
Beautiful music. Thank you Wilco
Just to keep the timeline active...not sure what year it is but I'd love to see wilco play a show that's only the first two albums. Doesn't seem likely as it's almost a different band entirely both in members and style/approach. But taken together AM and Being There are bedrock for non-grunge rock and roll in the 90's. I don't think they invented a genre but I do think they laid a parallel path to Nirvanan/Pearl Jam that, arguably, became more important to music than the fuzzed out gut-punches from Seattle. I haven't listened to bleach or never mind in 15 years. I'll never stop listening to the wilco albums.
Very organic albums. Being There is of course fantastic but AM in my opinion is grossly underrated!
This song will always hold a special place in my heart, it always takes me back to a special time in my life............
same!
Me too....its such a beautiful song
I saw this same show in Mpls at First Ave back in 96 or 97....Loved Tweedy and John ever since. Wilco❤
Maybe if I had heard this song before, the distance wouldn't just be measured in miles, not tears and unspoken words. At its time I refused distance with such a strenght and hate, I destroyed something valuable enough to forget about all the things between us. I lost a friend, beyond everything, one of those thing you just don't get back
I've been on a Wilco binge for a while now, and after stumbling upon this live gem today I can't listen to anything else!
CTA is the Chicago Transit Authority. He's talking bout riding on the "EL" -the name of chicago's mass transit train system.
❤️
Man...they look so young! I remember seeing the AM tour...but I forgot how young I suppose we all were!
Yeah man, i totally agree. I saw the AM tour as well. Hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago! That album ( and all of their albums, really ) have aged very well.
I'm 27 and I love WILCO has to be at least in my top ten list.
Wow. Im reading this comment 11 years from when you were 27. Hope time bids you well bro :) im only 19 but it seems some songs transcend generations
if music can be emotions then this is the best example..
From the movie Truth or consequences, NM
Brilliant!!
Being There fam
RIP Jay Bennett
awesome post.... saw them right around this time ...... remembering is tuff... lol. Thank u very much.
Preciosa canción 🥰🥰
Ken Coomer & late Jay... some better times...
Maravillosa canción,preciosa la voz....maravillosa banda.Fue lo mejor que hice con un ex😁😁🤭🤭
Verlos a ellos.😂😂
I'm 20 and I just radomly picked up this record and it resonates with me as does the beatles, vivaldi, buddy rich and so many others. age is nothing
Anyone who has been in love knows what this song feels like.
Gorgeous:)
Far far away
WILCO at the the UIC Pavillion Oct. 18th and 19th, 2009. As in right around the corner.
@mishkin78
Now you know the blues, son... Thats what its all about, relishing in the collective anguish we all experience as people. word
That is indeed Bob Egan on pedal steel.
I wish that the drums were closer to the album version. The brushes really worked.
yeah, the drums are way too forward in this performance
this full show aired on hbo maybe in 1996. great band.
it was in 1997... Irving Plaza, New York
Guilherme George Thank you!
i closed my eyes and flew when i was 17. im 42 now
90's
I believe that is Bob Egan. He plays steels in Blue Rodeo now.
Ok wasn't sure if that was Bob. Great version.
Have you been to a show with the "new" lineup? Glenn and Nels are virtuosos, and Pat and Mikael give the band more power and versatility. Nothing against Coomer, but he's not in the same league as Glenn Kotche. Wilco has never been better than they are right now.
He clearly says "on the dark side of the ROOM" at the end, and on the album. There is no R sound in moon, but it's always there.
so fucking good
Where and when is this?
Good ol' Jay Days! This must have been around Summerteeth. Either Leroy Bach looks different, or that isn't him.
@mishkin78 I'm sorry:'( I acted out with my mom and now I may move 200 miles away from my true soul mate..
@egroh09 Ken Croomer was great...what are you talking about?
Uhhh, I'm pretty sure he's saying "rrhmoon"
@mishkin78 Well..at my own peril...DON'T listen to The Moody Blues - Meanwhile...
really? wow
What is the CTA?
It is the transit system for the city of chicago. It includes 8 different rapid train lines that run every 3 to 10 minutes. Two of the train lines run 24/7/365. It also has approximately 120 bus routes. It is the second or third largest transit system in the United States. About 1.6 million people use the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) everyday.
@JEdgarGroover He was, but why not use brushes here?
@mishkin78 listen to some hip-hop or something like "bitches aint shit" then, Im in the same boat and nothing helps more than songs like this--"deep in my heart I know its right".
I suppose that was sarcasm though. Oh well, now others will know?
So Wilco, unable to come up with your own musical concept so you have to copy bands of yore, namely a band called "The Band"?
+G VS I love the band - huge levon helm fan...but seriously - Wilco doesn't need to come up with a "concept"
