such an incredible orchestra of rock and roll. they can strut like the Stones, get weird like Radiohead, avant garde, punky, crunchy and heavy, jazz rock unlike you've ever heard, then there's plenty of countryish stuff, too.....best band alongside My Morning Jacket.
Songwriting and musicianship what more can you say. I'm just happy for all of us these guys have created this great body of work. Thank You WILCO. I side with seeds : )
"...Sun gets passed, sea to sea Silently, and back to me With the breeze blown through Pushed up above the leaves With the breeze blown through My head upon your knee Half of it's you, half is me Half of it's you, half is me...."
Interviewed on their Ashes of American Flags DVD 📀 Tweedy says, quite a while ago now mind you, that the band could ‘probably’ absorb another change as is their History.. then adds- just not John. I do think that the drummer has made himself pretty undeniably essential now. Years later and they have managed to stay unified on a seminal live performance capture studio double album
Cool to see Jeff playing a Santa Cruz guitar. Imagine walking down the street and looking an a window when you hear a band jamming and it's Wilco (4:55)?? But you have no idea who it is and go on your way (4:57)....
I am so upset that they NEVER play this song now. I have been looking at posted set lists for a few years. maybe it is Tweedys relationship with rourke or maybe he hates this time in his life and it is about his addiction although he has no problem playing handshake drugs. Maybe he doesn't want Nels going nuts on the soloing and he tells him so in future albums but either way this is my favorite wilco song and i hope they play it at some point and don't forget this song in their history
My 15 year old son just turned me on to a group called duster, I told him they reminded me of Wilco. Played him some of A ghost is born, I think there's a new Wilco fan in the house now. The torch is passed, my work is done.
Does it justice? Don't get me wrong. The original is beautiful. But my boy Nels straight up murders this song. He disembowels it, and wears its skin as a trophy.

There are some songs that just have that, that ... feeling? I don't know how to explain it. It just defies explanation, but this is one of those songs. When I hear this song, it just takes me places, if that makes any sense at all.
@spartanfan10 If you had posted that comment for a video of a live version of "Company in My Back," that response would be more relevant. I don't really want to argue about something that boils down to taste, but I'll summarize my stance: this solo is better than the album version, and otherwise Nels blends very well with the other guitars.
@spartanfan10 Jay-era was good, but get real: Nels's contributions are pretty awesome on this track. Yeah, and the solo gets really intense, but the build-up is tasteful.
To me this song, and album, answered the question of whether Wilco and Jeff Tweedy could follow up Uncle Tupelo, Being There and most importantly Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Obviously the answer is yes. The beauty of this song is in the songwriting - both the lyrics and the music - and the arrangement. Nothing is out of place. Right before Nels joined Wilco Jeff performed the guitar solos live and he also took charge of the song. Do you really want to critique Jeff Tweedy on his musical choices?
@pegg309 I remember thinking how Pat looks like he's 25, then I saw a picture of him with a bushy gray beard and thought my life had flashed before my eyes.
The songwriting is why I love Wilco. The lyrics are amazing. The feel is so natural. Glenn lays down such intricate yet groovy parts. And then Nels just wails his heart out and ruins everything. I miss Jay.
The performance here is better maybe, but the recording on the record is so well engineered that I'd pick it every day. There's so much subtelty in all the parts and the dynamics in the song that are lost in the live version
@@TheLetterH111 Appreciate the reply honestly. I've been getting replies to comments my teenage self left on a bunch of songs. It's been entertaining to see how much my music taste has changed since then

I never want this Wilco lineup to change.

They are welcome to play in my living room any time they want...
I don't believe that there is a guitar player in the world who can be concurrently as beautifully melodic and dissonant as Nels Cline.
Actually that's Dan Patrick he announced his retirement to be more committed to the Band
Thurston Moore ?
I don't know why, but this song makes me cry. They're so freaking good.
the same
Same 😢
Killer performance of one of their best songs ever.
This song gives me the chills. I can feel the music pulsing through my body, goosebumps keeping in time with the music. Do you ever feel that??
If you ever get a chance to hear them live...do so!
@@rogerzindler8144 Next time they are in town, I'm in!!
And to think that listening to music is forbidden in some cultures!
Yes! I feel several parts of this song quite viscerally ... and it's beautiful!
It's criminal that there are only 2K likes on this. Wilco is the best.
one of my favorite youtube clips ever.
it IS my favorite u tube clip ever
I was just about to comment this
Beautiful. I discovered this song watching an episode of Friday Night Lights. Started my love for Wilco.
This live version always gives me goosebumps. Just top notch performance.
Wish I could "like" this video more than once.
One of the greatest bands of all time. Brings back so many memories and emotions.
every guitar players dream is to be in a band like wilco!!!Nels Cline must be the best guitar player ive ever heard!!!
that solo is completely insane. how is it possible??? just amazing!!
Songwriting and musicianship what more can you say. I'm just happy for all of us these guys have created this great body of work. Thank You WILCO. I side with seeds : )
Definitely the embodiment of Wilco is this song. My all time fav ✌🏼
"...Sun gets passed, sea to sea
Silently, and back to me
With the breeze blown through
Pushed up above the leaves
With the breeze blown through
My head upon your knee
Half of it's you, half is me
Half of it's you, half is me...."
For my money, WILCO is the best band of this millenium. This great song as a distinct Grateful Dead vibe and lyric IMHO.
you can hear the jim o'rourke influence in this song
it's such a beautiful union of goodness
Dang never noticed till now
oh yeah jims influence weighs heavy on this tune
Dear gawd such chaotic beauty! And the singularity that is a Cline solo....my oh my!
Nobody says nothing about the bass. It's incredible
b/c nobody knows anything about bass rigs. look at his head and cabinet. $3,000 minimum + a P bass.
Zzzz Zzzz Yikes, the meaning of the original comment went over my head... Thank you for saying something!
No John, no Wilco.
What bass

Underrated in the Wilcosphere
not even close my favorite Wilco song Hands down
Nels Cline Will make America Great again.
Nels is a f**ing Guitar God!!!!!!
sometimes tremendous talent and crazy passion all come together
Passion creates talent
Don't forget cocaine lol
Essa música é inacreditável. Como pode existir algo assim?
That is just fantastic
AMAZING!
I grew up with Uncle Tupelo and Wilco... I can't express how much you mean to me. By the way...I will be 54 1/14.😊😉👍
My favourite song of all time
I could listen to this band all day.
Great understated performance.
This performance was on the DVD Burn to Shine.
It makes me sad when the solo ends.
i love this freaking song so much. thank you jeff/wilco
Cool to see Jeff playing a Santa Cruz guitar. Imagine walking down the street and looking an a window when you hear a band jamming and it's Wilco (4:55)?? But you have no idea who it is and go on your way (4:57)....
The band looks so much younger even just 10 years ago. Here's to hopefully another 10 🤞
This is my favorite Wilco song!
not even close yes

but there's hope! times have changed! it's back in the setlist :D
it's such a beautiful song Thank you fellas
Drugs help😎
Jeff Tweedy understands everything!
as of April 2020 it makes me happy to report that only .007 percent of people don't recognize true music.
Nels Cline, is Great.... No words for him... Incredible... !!!!
When the reverb kicks in 🔥🔥🔥
oh god damn
From Cristoph Green and Brendan Canty's Burn to Shine film series, this one in Chicago. Beautiful job all around.
shits so good i cry every time
ditto
That bend at 4:38 is fuckin sick.
A Ghost is Born is my favorite album.
My 15 year old son just turned me on to a group called duster, I told him they reminded me of Wilco. Played him some of A ghost is born, I think there's a new Wilco fan in the house now. The torch is passed, my work is done.
Love the banter at the beginning about Jeff's hat. I suspect it's a reference to Paul Simon in One Trick Pony...
Don't forget Jim O'Rourke originally crafted that solo. A thing of beauty and Nels certainly does it justice.
Does it justice? Don't get me wrong. The original is beautiful. But my boy Nels straight up murders this song. He disembowels it, and wears its skin as a trophy.
Beautifully performed
Awesome song, awesome Band.
This song is somewhere out there , floating
I just saw god, and his name is nels cline
Nels is a wizard-beast but the whole band is exceptional. Every time I see them live it takes me about 3 weeks to find my blown mind.
nels cline is better than jimi hendrix because he has an extra 30 plus years to play. mind blown!?
Steve every time? i'm from Argentina. i saw them live once in my fucking life. i hate you
:)
@@julianormond373 yo también soy de Argentina, tengo 18 y no los ví nunca en vivo! Espero algún día poder hacerlo, ya sea acá en Argentina o allá en Estados Unidos
Wilco in a Chicago bungalow, Awesome!
My choice for prettiest Wilco song.
How can it get any better?
holy fuck
Incredible.
great performance. so any years
amazing.
Nels Cline, ladies and gentlemen. How 'bout that guy?
My head exploded at that killing gutair solo!
Juri my heart is here! Can you find me?
best band ever❤❤❤

Very intimate performance, mates❤
Haha, check out the dude at 4:53 looking in the window!!!
sublime
Who the frick down votes this

Jim O'Rourke's influence is on full display. This feels like it could be off of "Insignificance."
i miss wilco.....ALOT!!!
Laurie Demeyer Miss?
awesome
hell yeah
Una maravilla
Magico
Tops. Jeff at the top of his game… what a song!!
This was the schnitzel when I saw it way back in the day
I'm approaching 233 views, based largely on Nels' mastery.
That solo at the end has the hairs on my head and neck standing. So good. Love this song!
@spartanfan10 Jay-era was good, but get real: Nels's contributions are pretty awesome on this track. Yeah, and the solo gets really intense, but the build-up is tasteful.
do someone know the year of this clip? 2004 (a ghost is born) or 2011 (year of uploading) ?

Looks like Nels started a band with all his kids and they are playing in the living room

dayum...
Google doesn't know what a muzzle of bees is, and neither do i.
I know bees, and i know muzzle, but not combined. Help!
bITCH...i'M nELS cLINE.
lol, now every time I watch him rip a solo I'll imagine him saying this in an authoritative/sassy tone
Where is this clip from?
I think this was better than the album version. More passion, more instrumentation, and of course, a bit of Paul Simon.
The performance here is better maybe, but the recording on the record is so well engineered that I'd pick it every day. There's so much subtelty in all the parts and the dynamics in the song that are lost in the live version
@@TheLetterH111 Listening to it again, I agree. Not sure what my high school self was thinking.

Sweeeet! :-D
Potencia i delicadesa relligada com un allioli perfecte. Un plaer.
that fella Mr Nels CLine is very good. makes the band for me. his album "chest" is well worth checkin
Anybody notice the people outside the window noticing Wilco is playing inside a house?
Yeah......those people are called 'the crew'
