Seconded. This is the song that got me hooked on Wilco forevermore.

Do you prefer Paul or John? (I swear, this could connect)

both are equal to me... i prefer Harrison

My Darling makes me cry.

 

That one gets into that syrupy sweet, almost cheesey category for me. But "Please Tell My Brother" on the other hand, hits me like a truck......in a good way. Brilliant, beautiful, touching.

P.S. gogo is not in my top 10 JT/Wilco fans

anymore. Probably not even top 20.

 

They might be bigger...but there's no way they could be better. Manboobs are unfortunate at best. Girl boobs are fortunate at worst.

 

 

Red Elevator.

Fans of Misunderstood should seek out one of the earliest live versions of the song that reached 13 minutes.

It is fucking insanely brilliant. It goes places and keeps getting more intense. And the overall arrangement is a bit different too.

I'll have to juice up my old iPod for the actual date. I think it might be on the Owl & Bear site.

 

Remember that old thread called "First Time Live"? That was fun and had a lot of cool downloads. I was at the first show where they premiered Side With The Seeds.

 

Anyone else out there with a playlist with Wilco tunes performed live for the first time (or close enough)?

I agree with most everything said here, with the exception of "Hell is Chrome" being boring.

OK, I resurrected my "dead" iPod for that old playlist of "First Time Live". I'm not going out tonight until that is fully charged. I need to listen to these again.

P.S. Lacie's Poulton external hard drive is not to be trusted.

P.P.S. I may be able to put a couple of these on a SendSpace or YouSendIt link later tonight for anyone who is interested.

I will leave you with that amazing 13 minute Misunderstood.

Not that hard to stay on topic, people.

[Three dollars and 63 cents]

I've been listening to Bob Dylan's 49th Beard a lot lately. It sounds like such a sweet little song, until you listen closely to the lyrics, and then it becomes this really weird sweet little song. I think Jeff is at his best lyrically when he's taking emotions out of their normal context--At Least That's What You Said comes to mind, as does Poor Places and Ashes of American Flags (and quite a bit of YHF really). I think for me at least that's what's been missing from his songwriting lately.

 

Different songs resonate with me at different times. Via Chicago never really hit me hard until I heard them play it in Chicago. It's meant a lot more to me since then. I've only gotten to hear Ashes twice, and both times it's been intense and beautiful. When I'm feeling very panicky, which happens with me from time to time, I'll turn off all the lights and lay down and listen to the version of it from Kicking Television on repeat until I calm down. Nels' solo works every time. I try not to take it for granted that I have this really amazing tool to help me get through my rough times (and to celebrate all my great times, not to mention all the times between those two extremes). Sometimes when I hear someone say they don't listen to music very much, I wonder how in the world they cope with all the crap that life can throw at us.

blame Sparky, he set the wheel in motion.

 

 

still, any thread where the Damned get mentioned is worthwhile.

Highlights my general contempt for British punk (except for the Clash). It was all a pose and just another avenue for campy dress and behavior. New York City punk was the real deal.

I do the exact same thing and feel the exact same way. Just those first few notes of Nels' Ashes solo on KT are beautiful. Always will be one of my favorite live Wilco songs, very grateful they played it the last two times ive seen them, though i don't think ive heard a Nels solo quite as good as KT (Solid sound was close). Seems to me like he tries too hard nowadays. The older solos were beautiful in their simplicity.

 

I also find myself listening to More like the Moon when i need to calm down or straighten my thoughts. Absolutely beautiful song. I don't know how people get by without music, im quite addicted to it myself. I wouldn't last a day without it i reckon.
