choo-choo-charlie Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I pulled out several of my Wilco bootlegs this week from across the years and have enjoyed revisiting past lineups as well as the current lineup. Got me thinking about the different sounds and styles coming from the band when they had two guys behind the keys. Each has their merits. Am curious to to hear about which era of keyboard team VC members prefer.Bennett + Bach (1998-2000)Bach + Jorgensen (2002-2003)Jorgensen + Sansone (2004-present)I think I'm going to have to go with #2. There was a little more space in the songs when performed live in that era, and the keyboards did really well in the spotlight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I agree. Still my favorite lineup. Nothing against Pat, either, I just preferred the Leroy lineup. It must have been a bummer for Jeff having to play so much lead guitar and handle all the lead vocals, too, but it was fun for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Bennett + Bach for me. They were loosey-goosey, and their playing sounded like it all might fall apart at any minute (that goes for the whole band back then). I loved that. I did not find Bach and Jorgensen to mesh well, and Mikael playing a laptop for much of the time did not do it for me. That said, I love his playing now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Bach & Jorgensen for me, for the exact reason provided by choo-choo-charlie. I love those spaces! My favourite Wilco live era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Leroy could it all on his own!, but Jay is the icing on the cake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
