Chinese Apple Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Has the song "More Like the Moon" ever been performed live? If yes, does a recording of that performance exist which can be shared? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pillowy star Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I request it for every single show I attend, but I know it's never gonna happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinese Apple Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I request it for every single show I attend, but I know it's never gonna happen Listen Pillowy, you're not alone. I'm with you. I've requested that song many times. I know it is not concert friendly and will never get played because it is super quiet and sleepy. I guess I've request it repeatedly because I want the song to get "votes" in that huge Wilco surverymonkey database of songs that fans love. If the song were a person it would be the quiet shy girl who is beautiful on the inside, but never gets asked to the dance. Only released on a free EP for crying out loud -- never got the recognition it deserved. I've just downloaded the 2003 solo show Anthonyc007 suggested. Really wonderful, in lieu of actually hearing it live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 There's a pretty good full band version of the song in the 5-1-2003 Asheville, NC set: http://wilcoarchive....ilco 20030501/. The other times it was played in the 2003 tour don't have the greatest sound and in particular the quiet songs like More Like The Moon suffer on the tapes. Not sure about the two times it was picked up in 2010, haven't heard those sets yet but one of them is on the Owl's archives. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiatortunes Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The 2010-04-02 Wellmont Theatre version is very pretty. Jeff says it's probably the "quietest song in the Wilco catalogue." Then he gives out some "free dinner" vouchers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinese Apple Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well, I stand corrected! I guess it has been played live a lot more than I thought. :-) Thanks for the tips on the different live versions -- it will be an aural feast. I'm going to put them end-on-end in a playlist. The structure of this song lends itself to a periodic binge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I know we should be grateful Everything is falling apart Everything is breaking And it lifts my heart To see you as an angel As some ghostly work of art Why don't you come to me nowKnow who you are Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't seem to find any recordings for that show, though. I'm comparing the solo version to the full band version.The drumbeat and bass line definitely give the song thrust. So lovely.

Magnetized Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The Wellmont show is also on sooutoftune.org http://sooutoftune.org/concerts/116 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like the organ part on the studio version quite a bit. It was probably Leroy, but Mike was in that lineup also so it could have been him. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 http://www.nyctaper.com/?p=2821 Here's a great version of 4/2/11 at the Wellmont Theatre. It's a shame those "Evening With" shows will probably never happen again, they yielded some unforgettable shows with fantastic setlists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
