Best of Sky Blue Sky live


Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

 

I was hoping to get some help with a little project that I want to put together, inspired from Wilco playing the full Star Wars album this tour.

 

I'd like to compile the best versions of every song from Sky Blue Sky to make a "live" version of the album for myself.

 

Here's where you guys come in. If you have a favorite version of a song, and perhaps a link too, if possible, it would be amazing to get this ball rolling. As always, a discussion is more than welcome to hear why you think it's the best version.

 

Thanks everyone!

this list is really cool. Interesting that all the best versions are all pre-2009. 

 

On the Shake it Off "woo!", it originated at the show in Indianapolis on June 17 (two days before the one you quote). I just re-listened on sooutoftune.org now... "well Indianapolis, you invented that...whatever it is...I don't like it."

 

I forgot about the macrame incident at the Indy show too! They had the macrame owl fly down from the rafters (on wires of course). It was so fun. I'm lucky to have caught that one.

Oh awesome thank you so much!

 

Yea i love that list so far and have been trying to find them all. What's cool is I was definitely at the Chastain park show. My first Wilco concert and it was beautiful. Halfway through the set it started pouring if I remember correctly.
