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

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...

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, MO

No 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.

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.

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 Burnett

Mr. Soul: Ozomatli

Don't Let It Bring You Down: Jackson Browne

Long May You Run: Stephen Stills and Sheryl Crow

Only Love Can Break Your Heart: Lady Antebellum

Tell Me Why: Norah Jones

Comes A Time: Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Patti Griffin

Broken Arrow: Wilco

Harvest Moon: Josh Groban

Revolution Blues: Everest

Cinnamon Girl: Booker T. w/Dierks Bentley

Ohio: Ben Harper

Rocking in the Free World: Keith Urban, John Fogerty, Booker T.

The Losing End: Elvis Costello

Lotta Love: Jason Mraz, Shawn Colvin

Needle And The Damage Done: Dave Matthews

A Man Needs A Maid: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Heart of Gold: James Taylor

Helpless: Elton John, Leon Russell, Neko Case, T. Bone Burnett, Sheryl Crow

Human 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.
