winter party person Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Student Loan Stereo is a lot closer. i kind of hope their next record is just a balls to the wall punk record; this outtake proves it's not beyond hope...kind of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatheadfred Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I agree. While we are at it, I am tired of Shot in the Arm. They need to put a different song in that spot. Me too. Like a Nirvana cover? > I agree. While we are at it, I am tired of Shot in the Arm. They need to put a different song in that spot. When you wake feeling old! they should end their shows with it like the ended the album version That song is the best. I love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Secretly, Dreamer In My Dreams is my favorite song in the Wilco catalog by about 15 miles. Well, Misunderstood and Sunken Treasure, I guess, but DIMD is my favorite song that they never play. I'd never heard a full-band live version of it and every time I've seen them play in the last decade+ I've secretly wished for them to bust this one out...and then I heard the recording of them closing the residency with this and....well, that was kind of a letdown, honestly. Lotsa love for the album version, though. Coughing solo. That is maybe the only moment in official Wilco recorded history where they rock out completely un-self-consciously. (or at least the last one) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatheadfred Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I believe this was the working title of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot at one point. I remember that Rod Stewart story circulating back in the day. It was around the same time as the Frank Zappa drinking a goblet of audience members spit, or was it puke, or urine? I can't remember anymore... Any of the above is powerful stuff. There is definite power in messing with body fluids. We gathered 3 gallons of urine at our party a couple weeks ago, and boiled it over the fire. It was grrrrrrrrrooosssss. Ended up looking like antifreeze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, no, it's not from back then, it's from the exposure of the exposure of boy scout leaders, what was that like 7 years ago.

KansasAl Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 and dream in my dreams is one of i think 2 wilco songs i regularly skipblasphemy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 ...and then I heard the recording of them closing the residency with this and....well, that was kind of a letdown, honestly. I agree on that. I think it needed way more fiddle, especially since AB was there that night. It's such a fun ride on BT, and the live version just didn't seem to capture that. Maybe we just got spoiled with the live drone... but DIMD just wasn't quite the killer I was hoping for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Dreamer In My Dreams was the only way they could close out the Residency, imho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The Sat night version from the Residency was much better. They were just plain tuckered out after the Drone on Wed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have requested this for both the Charleston show and the Cary, NC show in August. Crossing my fingers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It was the single song I was most looking forward to for the Residency, but I too felt that it was a bit flat. they played it pretty safe I thought. it could've really rocked out a lot more than it did. I guess learning and relearning so many songs subjected some of them to being pretty basic. Nonetheless I'd take it in the setlist rotation any day of the week. "Shot in the Arm is the most played Wilco song ever. It should be retired for a few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have requested this for both the Charleston show and the Cary, NC show in August. Crossing my fingers!I just got around to making my request for Cary, and DiMD was the only song I considered. It was a jewel at the Residency, though I agree with Greg it could have been taken up a notch. Here's hoping they'll treat us in Cary! kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

newbornghost Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm a huge fan of Dreamer in My Dreams, but I'm afraid my enjoyment of it live would suffer from the absence of Max Johnston. agree. some of the old, loose rockers really sound unnatural to the current lineup.
