victor79 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If I was them I'll do a mean version of 'Sample and Hold' à la Spiders. Or maybe not so I can do it sometimes in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gewee Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 How about dusting off Burned? It's still one of my favorite covers that Wilco's done. Isn't At Least That's What You Said a Neil cover? Burned is one of the most under-rated NY songs fer sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 although some of the suggestions here would undoubtedly be mind-blowingly cool ("Are You Ready For The Country" and "Powderfinger" in particular) they all seem like fairly obvious choices and I think that Wilco might be better off doing something completely of the map, such as "Bandit" from Greendale.

W(TF) Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 A three-guitar blitz on Powderfinger wouldn't be a bad thing at all. They could also do something countryish like Out On The Weekend or Goin' Back. My vote would be to hear an epic like Words, or Cowgirl... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josephine Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I could see them playing a glorious version of "Cinnamon Girl" ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dude Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet, but UT did a sweet cover of Everybody Knows This is Nowhere on their final '94 tour. Both Jeff and Jay sang on it. They played it their final show, too: 05/01/94 - Mississippi Nights, St. Louis, MONo Depression/ Chickamauga/ Watch Me Fall/ Grindstone/ Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down/ Fifteen Keys/ Long Cut/ Anodyne/ New Madrid/ Slate/ Atomic Power/ Postcard/ Gun/ High Water/ Acuff-Rose/ True to Life/ We've Been Had/ Give Back the Key To My Heart/ Everybody Knows This is Nowhere/ Whiskey Bottle/ Truck Drivin' Man/ Looking for a Way Out (w/ Mike Heidorn)/ Gimme Three Steps (w/ Heidorn and the Bottle Rockets, Brian Henneman vocals) Pretty amazing setlist.

Analogman Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 A list where you can find the Neil Young songs Uncle Tupelo covered (by way of the great Factory Belt site). Also, Golden Smog use to do Revolution Blues and Powderfinger (if I recall correctly). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dude Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 The Twitterverse is abuzz with their performance tonight. They covered Broken Arrow and apparently, the crowd loved it. Here's some Tweets below: Lefsetz: Wilco's doing Broken Arrow, faithfully, even with Mr Soul intro. First act not to use a TelePrompter, you can tell the difference. spinaltap: Musicares update: Wilco is the best so far!! The intensity and passion is awe-inspiring, the musicianship is without peer, I am overwhelmed! Lefsetz: Wilco sounds like a band, playing music. Tweedy's voice has found the groove. Wow, band is in the pocket. What music's supposed to sound like. wilperro: Wilco just rockt the fuckin light out !!!! Omg!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!! darrellbrown: Wilco kicked major butt at musiccares benefit for Neil young strategy_samba: @Lefsetz Glad to hear Wilco nailed it, but not surprised. Best band in the country.

cre618 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 My wife and I were so lucky to have attended last night. I hope this thing is broadcast, it was unbelievable. Wilco sounded so great. A completely faithful version, which was taylor made for their sound. They seemed so happy to be there. Here is the full setlist: Down By The River: John Mellencamp w/T Bone BurnettMr. Soul: OzomatliDon't Let It Bring You Down: Jackson BrowneLong May You Run: Stephen Stills and Sheryl CrowOnly Love Can Break Your Heart: Lady AntebellumTell Me Why: Norah JonesComes A Time: Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Patti GriffinBroken Arrow: WilcoHarvest Moon: Josh GrobanRevolution Blues: Everest Cinnamon Girl: Booker T. w/Dierks Bentley Ohio: Ben HarperRocking in the Free World: Keith Urban, John Fogerty, Booker T.The Losing End: Elvis CostelloLotta Love: Jason Mraz, Shawn ColvinNeedle And The Damage Done: Dave MatthewsA Man Needs A Maid: Red Hot Chili PeppersHeart of Gold: James TaylorHelpless: Elton John, Leon Russell, Neko Case, T. Bone Burnett, Sheryl CrowHuman Highway: Crosby, Stills and Nash Highlights for us, Dave Matthews (I'm not a huge fan, but his version was unbelievable), Ben Harper, Norah Jones, Elvis Costello and Wilco (obviously).Not so good, Dierks Bentley (made Cinnamon Girl sound boring, go figure), James Taylor (weird and not rehearsed), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (a train wreck). Overall, really great night of music. The lows weren't even that low. I wish Neil would have performed, but oh well. And Jack Black was the host, very funny. Didn't have to pay for tickets, but if we did, it totally would have been worth the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
