mpolak21 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yes indeed it is. I prefer Wilco's live stuff. I've barely even heard much of their studio product. From what little I have heard, the live stuff is way better IMO. That one is on A Ghost is Born. There are some really great live versions of it from 02 and 03 and the one from the residency is great also. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Wilco is a band I look forward to seeing whenever they blow through town, but I mostly listen to the studio recordings. I'm a CD guy, generally. MisunderstoodWhy Would You Wanna LiveI Must Be HighImpossible GermanyVenus Stop the TrainJesus Etc.

Poor Places It's my father's voice trailing offSailors sailing off in the morningFor the air-conditioned roomsAt the top of the stairs His jaw's been brokenHis bandage is wrapped too tightHis fangs have been pulledAnd I really want to see you tonight There's bourbon on the breathOf the singer you love so muchHe takes all his words from the booksThat you don't read anyway His jaw's been brokenHis bandage is wrapped too tightHis fangs have been pulledAnd I really want to see you tonight Someone ties a bowIn my backyard to show me loveMy voice is climbing wallsSmoking and I want love My jaw's been brokenMy heart is wrapped in iceMy fangs have been pulledAnd I really want to see you tonight And it makes no difference to meHow they cried all over overseasWhen it's hot in the poor places tonightI'm not going outside They cried all over overseasIt makes no difference to meWhen it's hot in the poor places tonightI'm not going outside It's hot in the poor places tonightI'm not going outsideI'm not going outsideI'm not going outside (Yankee...hotel...foxtrot) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I try to keep my mixes very even. I guess I could always go Poor Places > Spiders with the studio versions :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
