rockinrob Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I was just wondering if any recordings of wilco covering this at the neil young thing have surfaced yet? Also, guys if you are reading, please keep this in the set for a little while. At least until I see you in clearwater! I bet this was really really awesome live.

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Doesn't look like it, but I'm very curious to hear one. I'll admit I've never heard the original, but Wilco's cover has been raved about, so I want to see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heyhey Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Neil playing broken arrow in 95 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'd say this is the one you want to hear: Buffalo Springfield - Broken Arrow (Youtube link) Broken Arrow (Wikipedia link) I will be surprised if any AUD tapes appear from the show. I doubt any taping equipment was allowed in the venue/show. I could be wrong. I'd rather hear Jeff do On The Way Home, Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing, or Flying On The Ground Is Wrong.

rockinrob Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 I actually think the coolest one for them to do would be expecting to fly, but I love broken arrow too. If any of you havent heard broken arrow or expecting to fly, get the buffalo springfield again record. Those two songs have always reminded me somewhat of wilco's experimental side. The original studio versions of those are really cool pieces of music.

Analogman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Right - I should have mentioned that also. It goes to show you that Neil was not always a one take live in the studio sort of dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockinrob Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Right - I should have mentioned that also. It goes to show you that Neil was not always a one take live in the studio sort of dude. Early on in his career he collaborated with Jack Nitzsche, who was a very talented arranger that did a lot of phil spector's arrangements and also a great pianist. Neil's self titled first record also features very lush orchestration, and is often overlooked. I really love this early side of neil and wish he wouldve revisited it sometime. I guess it is not too late, but that would be a crazy development (we are talking about neil young though!). His first record is an overlooked classic in my book. It has some clunkers on it, but it is a really cool record that has a great vibe to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I believe he often disowns that album, along with the Country Girl suite on the first CSNY album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smokestack Joe Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 yeah that is a great cover. wilco has done a fair share of great covers over the last decade, most classic rock and all beautiful. who, zep, young, dylan, all great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rockinrob Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 that was awesome! I hope the rest of this comes out. As mentioned before, Ive always thought wilco kind of sounds like some of those buffalo springfield/early neil young tunes. Hearing them play broken arrow, it really sounds like a wilco song!

u2roolz Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Link to VC Forum Etiquette Regarding Forum Etiquette Wilco has a long-standing policy against the videotaping of their shows, and out of respect for this policy, the posting of such videos on Via Chicago is not allowed. This also applies to solo Jeff Tweedy shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sorry about the moderator slacking. I hadn't looked at the link, and assumed it was something officially filmed from the MusiCares benefit. I removed it. Refer to u2roolz's post above for the official policy.
