Gabe32 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 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?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 He starts playing HTFL but plays a wrong chord in the first time thru the progression(F in liue of F# if memory serves). Then has to start over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then has to start over. This is correct. And then he just noodles around the F# chord for a moment... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe32 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ673 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Is there an official list of acronyms for Wilco songs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe32 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
