LouieB Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just not as catchy of a song title. "And now next up is Olive Drab Green Nova!" It would take quite a songwriter to work that one up. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It's the only song from W(TA) that actually has its place on a Wilco setlist.Here we go!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smells like flowers Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's the only song from W(TA) that actually has its place on a Wilco setlist.Still waiting to hear Country Disappeared live. That's my top (and maybe only?) pick from WTA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I used to own an olve drab green Nova. Great car. Not such a great song, but I kind of like hearing it because I owned a similar car. LouieB my first car was a bull purpley vega, so i can relate. and i freakin love that song (live) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Driving home tonight in the dark during a violent thunderstorm gave Bull Black Nova the proper feel of the song, especially during bursts of the electric lightning! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Didn't like the song too much on the album. But I think it comes alive and is a killer tune in the live setting. Not to say I want to hear it at every show, but still think it's a balls to the walls rocker live. I like that you say this is a killer tune. because it is, lyrically. Driving home tonight in the dark during a violent thunderstorm gave Bull Black Nova the proper feel of the song, especially during bursts of the electric lightning! That sounds deliciously intense, if a bit terrifying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 They should have stuck to Deeper Down when they knew how to play it. Now that they haven't done it for a year or two it would take weeks of practice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just gonna toss this out there again...where can one easily access Jeff's solo arrangement of BBN? I've heard it's quite good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tstrapac Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just gonna toss this out there again...where can one easily access Jeff's solo arrangement of BBN? I've heard it's quite good. Looks like Jeff played it 2011-07-08, 2011-07-09 and 2011-07-10. None of which are on owl and bear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Looks like Jeff played it 2011-07-08, 2011-07-09 and 2011-07-10. None of which are on owl and bear. Yep. Already looked there. Hoping to just snag an MP3 somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 sooutoftune.org (love this site) has the March 31, 2012 Vic show where it was played. It is mis-labeled though. I Might is actually BBN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yep, I was going to suggest good ol' Sooutoftune.org. But there's also this site http://www.thebarnpresents.com/setlist-jeff-tweedy-vic-theater-chicago-il-33112-5727.html which has MP3s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I Might is actually BBN.I'm finding a lot of that on sooutoftune.org. Lots of songs don't match the setlist. Not that I'm complaining -- it's a great site and a treasure trove of Wilco/Tweedy love!

blackmoon Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I do like the song but would gladly trade the concert version for almost any 2 other songs live. Agreed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Number 11 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hearing Jeff do this by himself is pretty intense....listen to it solo if you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

!goose! Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 OK those of you who do not like WTA listen again and realize that JT must have some sort of extra lobe in his brain that is stricktly devoted to writing melodies. oh and BBN is fine once in a while (its the layers ppl) and my "set killer" is 100% radio cure. Also why doesnt anyone complain about having to hear HMD and ITMWLY every night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 my "set killer" is 100% radio cure. Also why doesnt anyone complain about having to hear HMD and ITMWLY every night? I'll take Radio Cure over either of those. Every time. No contest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've always loved Radio Care, but that moment at Solid Sound 2 when the PA cut out and the audience kept it going just sealed it into one of my favorite musical moments. But I have another Wilco friend who considers it a snoozer, so I guess it's one of the more polarizing Wilco songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Fact: Radio Cure is one of the best Wilco songs in the entire catalog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hearing Jeff do this by himself is pretty intense....listen to it solo if you can.It is amazingly cool solo. It should have been on Roadcase #25 (from L.A. night #2 of a 4 night run 12/16/13)- between "Dash 7" & "One True Vine" & Roadcasae #28 (from Seattle- it should be between "Kamera" & "One True Vine") as well, but also all the material from "Wilco (The Album)" has been edited out of the recent Roadcase releases of acoustic shows (Roadcase #24-30). from #24- "You & I" (and the aborted "Country Disappeared"- but that makes sense) #25- "Bull Black Nova" #26- "Solitaire", "One Wing" & I'll Fight" #27- is a complete show #28- "Bull Black Nova" #29- "Solitaire" and "You & I" #30- "One Wing".He did about 1/2 the album over the course of these shows & they are all edited out.Happily though...the official Wilco website very recently added a great Jeff Tweedy solo acoustic show from Seattle, WA on 12/8/13 & it features a great solo version of "Bull Black Nova":http://wilcoworld.net/#!/roadcase/moore-theatre-seattle-waFor fans of "Wilco (The Album)" both "I'll Fight" and "You & I" are also featured on this other fine, fairly recently added, solo acoustic show from Boulder, CO on 1/8/11:http://wilcoworld.net/#!/roadcase/jeff-tweedy-solo-live-in-boulder-co-2011/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
