Remember the Mountain bed...


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can get an mp3 or wav etc for this song (live or studio)?? (not torrent or similar, they such a hassle)

 

It's such a heartwarming song and it would be great if any links or files could be located for me.

 

Thanks a lot,

I just heard this song for the first time tonight. Wow. I can't even say much more beyond that. It's just an amazing poem. Obviously, credit to Woody Guthrie there. Jeff was perfect though. What a song....

Well, obviously my perspective is a tad biased. :stunned But the way the music was constructed to fit the lyrics is one of the most amazing things I've ever encountered in rock music. Or ANY music, for that matter.

Give Jay Bennett some credit here.......

 

It was him that pretty much cajoled Jeff to cover stuff that Bob Dylan passed over....

Clearly, this being my first time hearing it, I'm a little late to the game. Kinda sucks, because There's so much from the Jay period I just don't know. I'm trying to learn but it's not easy. Thanks for the heads-up, though!

 

You know what I'd like to see? A list of each (wilco) band members contributions on each song.

I couldn´t say it better.I´ve listened live last year on a Jeff´s solo show and I didn´t stop crying from the beginning to the end...

Band members contributions you say, well, at least one of them (past tense) was very thorough about keeping such lists. If you do a little sleuthing, you just mind find that which I speak of.

All the Wilco albums save for Being There and YHF have a track-by-track break-down of that in the liner notes.

I don't have a legit copy of MA2 (yep, shame, shame), but my vinyl copy of MA1 bought in '98 or '99 has nothin' for a track list.

 

Mountain Bed is truly a stunning song. The best live version I've heard is from night 3 of last year's Residency shows. Look for the Dewey AUD on the torrent sites, it's worth your time. One of the VC'ers from Italy (I think) also put together some beautiful artwork / CD covers for all 5 nights.

 

True as that is about Jay's persuasion, I believe Jeff has really owned these songs for a long time, and made them his own.
