I still miss John Lennon, but Wilco and me, that's reality. We'll just have to carry on! Thanks Jeff!
I do too! Im so sad!! We need him.
@@ogui523 Wow, can you "imagine" John being around today?
@@dansilecchia7355 It’s easy if you try
why? because he beat his wife?
@@alamedaliquormart9204 You're beating a dead horse. Sad world you imagine.
“Wilco and me” 😆
I thought thats we said, haha too good.
Is that allowed?
Spencer Tweedy's drumming on this song is perfect. Why am I not surprised?
What a fantastic singer. I haven’t heard anyone get this close to Lennon. Bravo!
Try to watch reo brothers
@@ericflores6644 Very true. I’m a massive fan of them. Listen to their cover of “In My Life.” It’s one of the best covers on RUclips. I meant to say I haven’t heard anyone get to Lennon for *this* particular song.
Could not agree more. Now it makes me want to hear Jeff sing "Beautiful Boy."
@@paulisthelegend Many Lennon songs are so personal know one will even attempt them.
Sean Lennon
Jeff NAILED this.
What a mind blowing vocal performance from him.
Amazing.
Your vocals channel John. Your guitar even captures the feel of John’s piano; terrific cover.
Sean Lennon shares the same birthday, similar voice, sentiments and a penchant for 60's psychedelia. Check out his work on G.O.A.S.T.T.'s Midnight Sun and Claypool's Delirium. Great stuff and worth the research. Here's a sample of harmonies combined with some early Pink Floyd sounds. Recorded on old Ampeg reel to reel tape machines and authentic vintage instruments. ruclips.net/video/05F0ezUHuEg/видео.html Here's some Claypool/Lennon. ruclips.net/video/dZzKYAFjOsk/видео.html They are spectacular live!
Covers arent about replication
@@goldenhourkodak Yes, but it's always amazing to hear someone capture and reproduce the spirit and feel of the original as it was experienced back then, so well today.
Actually Billy Preston played piano on this one. Billy Preston also passed away back n 2006.
@Barney Miller yeah, and the drummer should have played a little jazzier
What a song... John was such a great singer it's difficult to do any of his songs justice. This version is amazing, thanks Jeff!
Yea, especially those songs that are so autobiographical. Most of his work was like that but there was a period where it’s painfully apparent that all the wounds, losses, and deepest traumas just came flowing out of him through his music. I just don’t know of any other artist who risked exposing himself in this way. An extraordinary artist.
Thanks for supporting my music 🎶 I’m so grateful 💝 and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s ok by you.
@@memphisflashfan1 Yes you captured it so perfectly. I am so moved by the rawness of Lennon's art and music. He truly did something so transformative with his music.
Lennon's heart has impacted the world so much, look at all these beautiful ripples.
Nowadays he gets attacked a bit for being a messy, troubled guy. I acknowledge that stuff and find his efforts to heal and help the world and people and himself even more beautiful because of his honesty and flaws.
We're living in a time where it seems that the evil among us are winning the day. Performances like this reassure me that love is real, love breaks through evil, love reaches the loneliest, most hurting hearts.
Love is the light, but we need to carry it to one another.
Thank you Tweedy & co. for doing stuff like this, it's so sweet and true.
Well said!
Thank you Matthew.........💯
I know. People act like he was some kind of hypocrite because his past did not always live up to the image some had of him. He was extremely flawed, the result of so much childhood trauma. He didn't entirely transcend it and inflicted some of it on Cynthia and Julian, but he was always striving to become something better. He was angry and violent, but tried to be idealistic and peaceful. That's what we should be taking from his life and music.
@@thomcorner3971 💯 My thoughts entirely...... Well said..
Who are 'the evil among us', though?
That sleepy Lennon vocal almost made me cry.

Fantastic. Love this song. And been a huge fan of Jeff for years. Awesome.
Absolutely outstanding drumming and great sound. This rendition would have made John Lennon smile! So wonderful to see a family playing together and having a great time. Jeff's sincere vocals speak volumes to my soul. Thank for all the joy and inspiration your music brings to so many folks. Peace and love to you all.
This guy is one of my heroes for almost 20 years, and will always be. Long live Jeff Tweedy and Wilco.

This is my favorite Beatles-related song and this performance is magical. I remember you playing this at The Fillmore and I nearly fainted I was so psyched.
I adore Jeff Tweedy; his vocals on this are perfection.

Who mixed and mastered this? It sounds incredible. Especially that drum kit
Slapback on the kit, just like the album version and a lot of John's solo stuff.
agreed
Pretty sure they're in the Wilco World HQ
A lot of it is Wilco’s experience as a band together...
Tom Schick has been the engineer who runs the Wilco Loft studio. Undoubtedly he performed all the tasks here. (Except filming, but he may have done that too!)
Thank you!! John will be very happy celebrating his Birthday. The dream is over...💔😢😢😢. I miss John!! We all do!!

“You know what you don’t believe and you’d take it out of context to feel unavenged for someone that isn’t yourself including yourself to not believe in disbelief which is the only card you have.” ,dan’
Perfect song, great great performance.
OK when I saw this title, and I thought. Next. But I decided to watch all the way. I was thinking “seriously”. I watched every second and loved it. You did an extremely good job. It fell it was short of John. And I really liked yours. The answer to John never to be touched is actually in the song.
Woaaa! Just woaaa!
The perfect tribute. Thank you Jeff.
This is great!
saw Jeff Tweedy at the drive in at McHenry and he was fantastic! it's a shame we're in a pandemic because I'd love to meet Jeff himself seems like such a nice guy.
