remphish1 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I love when during a Wilco show they once in awhile bust out a Random Tupelo song. What five would you like to hear on the next tour? 1. Gun- would be great as a full band!2. Nothing3. No Sense in Loving4. Watch me Fall5. D. Boon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosco Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 1) Wherever2) We've Been Had3) The Long Cut4) Gun5) If That's Alright "Wherever" would be my only pick if I only had one, the other 4 are kind of obvious but much more likely picks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boonwhen's the last time Wilco's done a UT song (that wasn't a cover)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not sure what you are driving at but I would like to see more Tupelo songs in the mix at a Wilco show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Based on recent setlists of Tweedy and co., I'd say there's a chance for: We've Been HadNew MadridGive Back the Key to My Heart (I know, it's Doug Sahm, but UT covered it before Wilco ever played it) Any or all of those would work for me!

PopTodd Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wonder how Jeff would feel about covering a Jay song with Wilco? I think that would be pretty interesting.Maybe:"Outdone" I think that would be pretty hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not sure what you are driving at but I would like to see more Tupelo songs in the mix at a Wilco show. i'm just saying that a Wilco show proper (not a solo Jeff or a Tweedy band show), to my knowledge, hasn't played a UT song in a long time. sure, when AM and maybe Being There were the only records out, they played a UT song or two as well. i'm just not sure how recent they've actually done this...to my knowledge, it hasn't been for a long time. but i could be wrong.

Chez Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 New Madrid -- though I think I've already seen Wilco do this song in concert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If they ever play Penn State again they should definitely do "Sandusky". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawnsolo73 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Man, I still haven't seen them play New Madrid live yet...Hoping that the upcoming show in Raleigh fixes that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robby Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Cold Shoulder Wait Up No Sense In Loving If we're talking about songs that UT covered, then my list would include: Great Atomic Power I Wanna Destroy You Left In The Dark Sin City I do recall that Wilco once did perform No Depression once, even though Jay did the lead vocal when UT recorded it.

theashtraysays Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 We've Been Had is definitely hard to argue with.Screen Door would be my pick if I only had one choice. Wilcobase shows that it was played a few times back in the mid 90's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 They played some good versions of "We've Been Had" in 2002-03. http://sooutoftune.org/concerts/47 http://sooutoftune.org/concerts/202 When I saw them in Kansas City in December 2011 they played "New Madrid." Most of the people around me looked very confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indy81 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wilco played "Give Back the Key to My Heart" in Austin last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

last cigarettes Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 great topic, remphish. here's my list: 1. acuff-rose: mostly selfish on this one. i missed my request being fulfilled last week in boston and have still never seen it live (though thanks to knotgreen, at least got a taste on video). not likely with the full band, but still.2. gun: a likely contender, at least in that wilco has played it a handful of times before. also a longtime personal fave.3. still be around: probably the darkest horse of all. like poptodd said, i don't know how jeff would feel about playing/singing a jay tune, but this is one that has always given me chills since first becoming a UT fan in the early '90's.4. punch drunk: ditto on the unlikelyhood of this one (being a jay tune), but i think it would rip, especially with nels and glenn. somewhere on VC there's an amazing video of UT playing this one at the middle east in cambridge from 1990 that makes me smile every time i watch it. jeff and jay at their punkest.5. the long cut: the gruff scratchiness of jeff's singing on this one has always appealed to me. reminds me a little of his delivery in dreamer in my dreams, but with a darker, more urgent tone to the lyrics (we've been in a deep rut, and it's been killin' me). another great punky blast in the UT canon.
