They played this in front of Neil....so much huevos. I wonder how tickled Neil was when he realized they were playing Broken Arrow instead of just Mr. Soul.
He loved it. Jeff Tweedy just yesterday said on his substack, "Afterwards, I got a letter from Neil that just said “Wow!” along with a simple drawing of a broken arrow." I think he liked it!
Thanks for posting this. I first saw this almost a decade ago, on the Musicares tribute to Neil. And this is one of the greatest live rock performances I’ve ever seen... and I’ve seen lots. I had hoped to become a professional musician, and have always studied the great ones the way a medical student would obsess over biology and anatomy. Here, we have Wilco preforming an almost note-for-note rendition of a Sgt. Peppers-era piece of studio wizardry. Outstanding.
Neil Young was the most amazing piece of the CSN & Y puzzle, in my opinion. Steve, David and Graham had the voices but Neil was the wild energy that made Deja Vu and 4 Way Street so formidable.

I suspect he loved it. I sure did!
Knowing how Neil is about his r&r, he probably loved it. These folks are the kind of talent blend that made Buffalo and C, S, N & Y so great.

@@SaobTtirb I would think he would. Neil always thought outside the box.
This is so well done! Bravo Wilco!
Nice.I accidentally found this while looking for my favorite Neil Young song and now I am a fan of this band who I never heard of before.....

@@michaelbrickley2443 yes true, and Neil wrote it.....but this was a Buffalo Springfield song.
You are so right, Wilco nailed it.
Note for note. Pure brilliance.
Man these guys are supremely awesome...
Great cover....
They totally captured this song. Well done!
Genial
I prefer the late, great Wilko! ;-)
What year was this?
I’d say around 2007-2011, Nels Cline is playing guitar for them but the guys still look young
Great cover!
Great cover great band.
Bravo !
Awesome!
