run_run_run Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) Just downloaded it and love it. I think if AGIB had it in place of less then you think it would be much better. Edited September 14, 2006 by run_run_run Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tapmyglass Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 panthers is one of myfavorite wilco songs. I really love the lyrics and the murky piano sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jethro Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Just downloaded it and love it. I think if AGIB had it in place of less then you think it would be much better.The EP version? Really? Takes all kinds I guess. Drone aside Less Than You Think is one of the best things Jeff's ever written. It's the kind of song that gets people to talk about him as a great songwriter. I like Panthers, at least the solo pre-death-by-piano murderized version Jeff did, but wouldn't put it anywhere near LTYT. What it isn't is a very good live song due to how quiet it is, but not every song can (or should) be played live. But... I think the best versions of the song are from live performances the band did before AGIB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Less Than You Think is one of my top 3 fav. wilco songs. Panthers is alright but there is no way it compares to Less Than You Think even w/ the drone. But I love the drone. so to teach its own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
run_run_run Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have only listened to the EP version, need to seek out a live version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have only listened to the EP version, need to seek out a live version. you need the solo show from Martyr's 2003-05-16. it's the only time that it was played and recorded. sadly there is no recording of the 2nd time he played it.

MrRain422 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I looooooove the EP version. But I can't imagine how it would have fit onto AGIB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 the way it sounds compared to the new live stuff it seems like it could fit in w/ the new album. atleast to me. its got the same vibe as impossible germany. oh yeah and here is the version from martyrs http://download.yousendit.com/2F5ACFBA34E0DBA1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Drone included Less Than You Think is one of the best things Wilco has ever done. I like Panthers too, but I like it's place on the EP, i wish some other panthers-like songs were fleshed out in the studio, like My Words, but whatchagonnado. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 you need the solo show from Martyr's 2003-05-16. it's the only time that it was played and recorded. sadly there is no recording of the 2nd time he played it. That show, although shitty quality in many places, has an incredible rendition of "My Words," as well, which is possibly one of the best songs Tweedy has ever written. I'm a big fan of the EP version of Panthers, too. In fact, I just listened to it! If you want, I can try to post "My Words" and "Panthers" from that show. But I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.
