remphish1 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Which version do you prefer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogsPlayingPoker Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Which version do you prefer? At first I thought this question meant the DVD entitled Sunken Treasure and that there was an acoustic version AND an electric one. Then I realized I'm a dumbass.

aricandover Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I like both versions, but I don't like it when the band plays it in the acoustic style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the letter k Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Accustic all the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ponch1028 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I like both. They should do a Neil Young (Tonight's the Night or My My, Hey Hey ... Hey Hey My My) and play one version to begin the concert and the other version at the end of the concert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Acoustic is better, in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 any version. although the earlier ones seem a bit ragged though. i think the song really started being a live highlight with the band since 2001 onwards. i love those september-december 2001 versions... and the way jeff drags the rock n roll lyrics at the end.maimed by rock n roll, tamed by rock n roll, blamed by rock n roll, not ashamed by rock n roll, got my name from rock n roll.... i dont need rock n roll anymore although the acoustic ones have been since day 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The acoustic/harmonica version has always sounded out of purpose with the rest of the song. The electric version is by far the winner here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
entropy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I personally like the acoustic version. It's like when you distill alcohol until it's potent enough to catch fire. The electric mixed version might be a little bit harder to swallow, but the straight up shot just ruins you in the best way possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Call me a fangirl, but I love this song anywhich way. Definitely in my top 5, if not top 2 of WILCO's songs overall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alison the wilca Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 i prefer the acoustic. electric is nice but it doesn't get me all teary and wistful in the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HighFives Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 the haunting piano version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 check out this one.... detroit, 5 oct 01 there were some really good ones around this time, but this stands out as my favourite... check out the singing during the music is my saviour bit, onwards sort of an acoustic band version... oh makes you miss leroy. http://www.sendspace.com/file/198pkx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMal Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Full band when they play it like the "Being There" version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Doesn't matter. They could all come out and play it with kazoos and bongos and it would still be incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 What's wrong with bongos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
