I love that song. I still like the studio version more than any live version I have heard.

 

With the exception of Tweedy playing it solo, I think "California Stars" is also better on record than any live version I've heard, with ONE additional exception: at the Strathmore this year, with Mikael's train-flute-chime solo...

I prefer Jeff's solo versions, and the 1999/2000/2002 live performances with Wilco. The studio version has the same muddied vocal effect as "My Darling," which, like "My Darling," makes the song sound poorly produced. It sounds as though what they were going for was an "I'm so distant" sentiment, and it winds up sounding like "I've never mixed an album before."
