Song Before HTFL on Sunken Treasure


Recommended Posts

Sorry to make an entire thread on this but it has always bothered me. 99% sure that before How To Fight Loneliness on Sunken Treasure Tweedy plays like 15-20 seconds of another persons song. I think it is after he flubs HTFL, he plays it and then asks the crowd "No?"

I think he is just riffing on the chords & scales of "How to Fight Loneliness."

Cool, thanks guys.

 

In retrospect, I think I was thinking of another show where he plays like 30 seconds of some song without singing. It is bothering me that I can't remember it.

 

I recently found the Elizabeth Cotten song he plays on 8/16/06. She is good.

Is there an official list of acronyms for Wilco songs?

 

Haha. Sorry, I made sure to clarify it in the post. Just thought the full name would be too long for a title.

 

I hate it when you have to spend 10 minutes trying to figure it out.

 

Though, if you don't know what IATTBYH is, you aren't a true Wilco fan ;)

At the 2007 show in Knoxville he plays a bit of "Immigrant Song" and the crowd goes "aaaahhh aaaa aaaaaahhhhh ahhh" a couple times. it was badass.

 

One of my favorite solo Tweedy shows (perhaps #2 after 5.16.03). Please Be Patient With Me opener followed by Mountain Bed, Spiders, Wait Up and Chinese Apple. Pieholden Suite and the banter around that was great too. Not to mention Cars Can't Escape.

 

Edit: but there is definitely a show where he plays some cool finger-picking song without any explanation. It will come to me again eventually.

He does a heck of an intro to Acuff Rose that he's also tacked on to the end of Dreamer in My Dreams. Could be what you're thinking of. I tried to do it once and I think I broke my brain.
