I miss Tweedy taking solos like this...his guitar sensibilities I have always felt are overlooked. Its a style that is very definitive and hard to duplicate. Nels goes off and does some very similar things, but his stuff is either floating around jazz ideas/concepts or strictly texture(which is brilliant!) whereas Tweedy's guitar sounds like a nervous breakdown...and I like it!
I was there that day. The part you missed is Jeff dedicating this song to his wife Sue, it was their 10th wedding anniversary. Very moving. I'd just met Jeff, Sue and the kids a few weeks before at Pitchfork. Lovely family, though Jeff is a weird bird. Calling out Joe Schike; The sound recorded at a live festival by an amateur, then uploaded to youtube is never going to reflect what the audience heard that day, not even at Lolla. The actual sound was so good, I had to walk out of the festival to maintain the delicious vibe I had going before the RHP came on. You're an idiot for expecting better. If you want to hear it sound good, listen to the studio album. The Loft is one of the finest studios in the world and Jeff is one of the best producers. Nobody else I'm aware of records entirely on analogue with tube amps, 40 year-old Fender and Gibson guitars, a Hammond organ and Steinway piano and goes to vinyl before they digitize and go to CD. Just listen to the latest albums by Mavis Staples and Low, or any Wilco album since they built that studio in Old Irving Park. I just hope that Jeff doesn't become more in demand as a producer than as a great bandleader.
So i only really listen to old music, but someone gave me their CD and this caught my ear, i hope all their stuff is similar b/c i may have just found a new band...
i think they are unique for sure but not for everybody. its music. youre gonna have varying opinions. i appreciate that you arent putting them down but simply stating that its not for you. i respect that
There's an organization of 'em. They're usually at festivals like Lolla or Glastonbury. Once I read a story about one that had to translate a Muse concert. That must have been hard.
woah wilco vs radiohead? now thats a battle for the ages. wilco and shugo tokumaru are the only modern bands that can stand with radiohead that ive heard. many other bands are great, but wilco, radiohead and shugo all have this...timeless quality. its a je ne sais quois that i think only becomes obvious 25 years after their biggest release. that and the people inspire, you know, the people who "get" it.
I do wish people could discuss the music of some singers without getting so offended. Tweedy is talented. He's got a different sound and has managed to do what he wanted without troubling himself with commercialism. Good for him. but I also understand how people might find the rabidness of his fan base rather bewildering. It's not the easiest music sometimes. People who like heavy rock might not like it. Okay. That's a matter of taste.
This is my firat experience with them, and I think it's cool that you can hear their influences. It sounds a mixture of acid Sgt Pepper Beatles and Lynard Skynard.
its nice to see such a well thought out response here. shoulda expected to see it on a wilco video, i JUST got into them, you know who i think you'd like? shugo tokumaru. youtube him and listen to a song called parachute (good song to get into him with) and la la radio. la la radio, in my opinion,is one the best written songs ever. its like lesson in how to write a song with many parts, but with flow and taste, not one part of the song is there for "art's" sake.only because the song demanded it.
nice distortion,vibrato and whammy bar action. BTW,the chick is using sign language. She's reading Jeff's lips and reading the notes he's making on the guitar :)
No people. Jeff Tweedy looks like GOD. Rightfully so because he's a musical Zeus. I'm taking bets that "Jesus Loves Me" was in this set. Rock On Mr. Tweedy!
If Wilco is not your thing that's OK. There's plenty of other stuff for you to listen to, but just so I understand, what is better than Wilco in your opinion?
@joe44850 when he has the hat on he looks exactly like dr. john from the piano instructional videos.. please tell what you think, cause the videos of him playing are great too, peace..
@joe44850 Didn't you see School of Rock? Never mind him, though, what about the blonde chick doing the simultaneous translation for the hearing-impaired? When did they recruit her? She wasn't in Uncle Tupelo and I missed her, was she?
if by jeff tweedy looks like God after he created stupidity in the world and was exhausted that he couldnt take it back and so wilco and wilco fans were created then yes i guess jeff tweedy is god. rock on like the 80 year old stones who suck by the way. congrats wilco ...you did it in less time than that. gary oldman looks like Zod ...kneel before Zod.
sometimes when people listen to music it changes them in a way that other people cant understand. this song isnt one of their best but it's a good one. to be honest, the bands that you listed (apart from Radiohead) aren't even half as good as wilco is or ever could be. Jeff Tweedy has been through so much more than you could probably imagine, his lyrics and his music are signs of this. maybe if you would take the time to research the band and artists you'd understand. and yes it's all opinions.
Heck yeah, I freakin love Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
I was at that show...it was one of the most fantastic ones I can ever remember.
He looks amazing

I was there! They were in top form that day. But they always are.
wilco is perfect

wilco rules. plain n simple
So i only really listen to old music, but someone gave me their CD and this caught my ear, i hope all their stuff is similar b/c i may have just found a new band...
You're totally right man
Best thing I have heard in ages!
Touché.
This is my favorite song for sure :)))))))
great jam
I second that!!!! Genius!!!!
we, the krautmusicians - and our ears - love you
love this song, love tweedy's hippy look.
i think they are unique for sure but not for everybody. its music. youre gonna have varying opinions. i appreciate that you arent putting them down but simply stating that its not for you. i respect that
epic win sir.
I love the sweet sounds of those Neil Young, kinda out-of-tune, kinda out-of-time guitar solos. Brilliant
There's an organization of 'em. They're usually at festivals like Lolla or Glastonbury. Once I read a story about one that had to translate a Muse concert. That must have been hard.
this vid was uploaded on 2006 crazy !!!
and on the neil young note hell yeah didnt notice until now..
woah wilco vs radiohead? now thats a battle for the ages. wilco and shugo tokumaru are the only modern bands that can stand with radiohead that ive heard. many other bands are great, but wilco, radiohead and shugo all have this...timeless quality. its a je ne sais quois that i think only becomes obvious 25 years after their biggest release. that and the people inspire, you know, the people who "get" it.
Is it just me or does the girl signing at 2:22 just melt your heart...
you're right. He doesn't look like he's gained weight at all. Thanks for your eloquent response Dude.

@TDBrought brilliant!!!
Nice to see Jeff shred and Nels play the changes.
I'm not really into Wilco, but i have to admit Nels Cline is among the greatests actual guitarists.
Hey! I remember that day. There was a crowd surfing killer whale, and everything!
WOW! look at jeff go! had n shoulders man keep lookin, n we'll keep up with ya......
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Kid A in flannel.
which is a compliement. =D
@SuperJames2point0, you are a comedic genius, punk.
Cheers,
FrankC32
Ha! "Are you brilliant?" Well done mate.
@jfrizzlle it sounds vintage, I'd think like a tube driver, germanium fuzz face. something dirty and amazing sounding.
its nice to see such a well thought out response here. shoulda expected to see it on a wilco video, i JUST got into them, you know who i think you'd like? shugo tokumaru. youtube him and listen to a song called parachute (good song to get into him with) and la la radio. la la radio, in my opinion,is one the best written songs ever. its like lesson in how to write a song with many parts, but with flow and taste, not one part of the song is there for "art's" sake.only because the song demanded it.
Aw, she's a concert sign language translator. I've never seen one at any shows I've been to.
nice distortion,vibrato and whammy bar action.
BTW,the chick is using sign language. She's reading Jeff's lips and reading the notes he's making on the guitar :)
Jeff looks like he won the Masters.
no way they just get better!
quero essa guitarra!!!
@Diabeticuss fucking awesome...song and beard combo that is...
No people.
Jeff Tweedy looks like GOD.
Rightfully so because he's a musical Zeus.
I'm taking bets that "Jesus Loves Me" was in this set.
Rock On Mr. Tweedy!
Radiohead-Beatles-Blur in a mixer
If you love this as much as I do, check out Horse Bones' song "Colusa" so good.
Someone who was in love but isn't anymore. Like the people that seek revenge on people
0:18 sweet the kiss he blows to his wife
Wilco me on.....this shit kicks ass!!!! haha....everyone sucks...haha...this shit kicks ass!!!!
fantastic! Nills you sexy beast.
tweedys stage presence and intro to this song lit part of my shirt on fire! whats the deal with that?
LOL I looked like a premature baby in 1992ish.
It may be that Jeff Tweedy was... ehm... big back then but I didn't really know he could play the guitar like that.
If Wilco is not your thing that's OK. There's plenty of other stuff for you to listen to, but just so I understand, what is better than Wilco in your opinion?
Kinda reminds me of the Grateful Dead.
He looks so much like Jack Black in "School of Rock" in this vid, haha. :)
@joe44850 when he has the hat on he looks exactly like dr. john from the piano instructional videos.. please tell what you think, cause the videos of him playing are great too, peace..
@joe44850 Didn't you see School of Rock? Never mind him, though, what about the blonde chick doing the simultaneous translation for the hearing-impaired? When did they recruit her? She wasn't in Uncle Tupelo and I missed her, was she?
ditto,
i wondered if she tours with wilco or if she was there for everyone that Lollapalooza
this reminds me of a Dead song
yeah, so what? he still rocks.
cuz it sounds like great tripped out Little Feat? I swear you never hear the exact same Wilco energy twice.
lol seriously. but that would be completelyawesome.
2:21 Hot signer alert!
crap!
play the A.M. & Being There stuff...
"the thanks i get" is brilliant!!
Wilco backwardfs spells Ocliw
I didn't know Peter Jackson was in a band.
is that woman at 2:20 dancing or using sign language?? and if it's the latter, why? thanks.
And I also heard he's an "in the closet" homosexual still... Dude it's not the 90's anymore Frank. You can come out now :)
I didnt know tweedy could grow a full beard ha!!!
That's not Jack Black! That's obviously Zack Galifanakis.
if by jeff tweedy looks like God after he created stupidity in the world and was exhausted that he couldnt take it back and so wilco and wilco fans were created then yes i guess jeff tweedy is god. rock on like the 80 year old stones who suck by the way. congrats wilco ...you did it in less time than that. gary oldman looks like Zod ...kneel before Zod.
@robinheil The clothes are soooooo -not- 1978. Trust me!
@genez0r aaah i understand
Unless we are newborns in 2050
@joe44850 That's one of the funniest things I've ever read...
sounds like foxey lady in the beginning lol hendrix influence at all?
because it sounds like it´s from 1978
That John Tesh lookalike is Nels Kline, one of the modern gods of guitar. Waaaaay better than Jay Bennet.
whatd you study
Jeff is looking a bit like Jim James here
Yeah shes signin'! Aint she Pretty!
lol.....ok!!!
@TDBrought No... REM.
