choo-choo-charlie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Said this in the After the Show thread and I'll say it again here: This song still sounds good today, but I don't think it's played with the same energy and spirit as seen here. In this video, Tweedy wasn't that far removed from the migraines and addiction that fueled the manic guitar playing on AGIB. It's absolutely gut-wrenching and soulful. When I hear this at a modern-day Wilco show, it's performed very well and still rocks, but it sounds like a tune that's been performed hundreds of times and doesn't have the freshness that you see here.

Magnetized Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It is a stunning performance. There's no way, unfortunately, to keep the rawness and freshness going forever. Time marches on and you write new songs or take a break and the old songs feel new again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is still in the top 10 most important rock guitar pieces for me. It's up there near Marquee Moon in my book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 One of the (if not the top) musical moments for Wilco/Jeff Tweedy. Mesmerizing is the right word. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
