bigbrutus Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I always enjoyed the live in studio performances on the Sky Blue Sky bonus DVD that came with the cd. I haven't watched it in awhile, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 the live concert that was released as a "gift" for folks who purchased the Wilco DVD is a show from the 9:30 club in Washington. It has awesome performances of a lot of SBS, and features a brass band on a couple of tracks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
howdjadoo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Any thoughts on where I could pick up that live show? I'd be very interested to hear it! Since it isn't a commercial thing anymore...there you go: Admin(s)-Donna if you see it in a different way please delete http://netkups.com/?d=d3b721d3966a5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigbrutus Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 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.
