Live Wilco catalog


Recommended Posts

ive had a few days off so (single and lots of free time) i went through all my live wilco cds and weeded out the poor sounding quality shows and kept the ones that i think perserve a Live Wilco career perspective. naturally, im on a wilco high right now. still think the best years are '97-00 but you can't deny the musicianship of the current lineup.

 

to me the most interesting live years are post-Bennett pre-Cline when wilco was a powerhouse foursome: Tweedy, Stirratt, Kotche, Bach....

well it was interesting in the context of wilco music, yes quiet but still acceptable, rocking, able to move a crowd

 

IMO it was not so much the line up of the band that rocked and moved the crowd, as it was the new YHF music they were giving us a steady dose of.

that is utterly ridiculous. saw the line up in seattle and it was the least impressive. late bennett is great, there's nothing like a band on the edge of insanity. but they may be even better now.

still my favorite (or at least most memorable) shows. Best performances of certain songs that just can't be replicated with the current lineup. Just watch the IATTBYH movie.

i like that late 2001 period before mikael joined (around september to november of that year). really nice stripped back sound with the best versions of Sunken treasure

I tend to agree with you. Although all of the incarnations of the band are excellent in their own right I really love the arrangements from that era. Very unique in the history of Wilco.

I would be interested in some recommendations. I have many shows, but tbh, I don't know which ones are the ones to listen to.

I've always really liked the 9/30/01 show.

i made a 3cd compilation of every song done at the october 99 shows

That's an awesome comp Mende - thanks, I've got a lot of mileage from that one. :thumbup
