Wilco: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

That Nels guy is pretty good.

If he only knew how unbelievably weird it would get.

Your writing is improving, Bob. With your legendary words, you help explain something about the musicians that defies time. Thank you kindly.

❤ Wilco ❤

Wilco always inspires me to write songs

They are truly amazing.
Hope I get to see them playing live someday.
Summerteeth is my favorite song.

Amazing

This version of A shot in the arm is no doubts the best from them. Absolutely unbelievable. Wilco are my favourite band since I got on board of the train with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot to never ever leave it.

time stamps anyone?

Excellent.

If that ended in a clap.

I love the fact that they names their album Star Wars and it has absolutely nothing to do with Star Wars.

By far, my favorite and indisputably best version of "Shot In The Arm," and there are a lot of live/studio/demo versions.

Good American music & lyrics, made directly from the heart

When will Detroit's Volebeats have a Tiny Desk Concert?

Simply beautiful! How bout breaking the rule once more?

No question Tweedy is his generation's Paul Simon wrt song writing. But it should be noted that this is one of the tightest bands I've ever seen, up there with Zappa, Sun Ra's Arkestra and James Brown. That level tight. They start from a base of extreme accomplishment at their instruments. Tweedy's such a good songwriter and lead vocalist it's easy to forget he is a helluva guitar player. They are as great as great can muster.

Surprised at the low views

NPR's sound engineers really captured lightning in a bottle here. Bravo, dudes! 👌

...ha ha...now it's a HUGE American problem with Joe.

Ok, Bob. It's 2021. When are they coming back?

from brazil.... i love wilco

141 people have actually thumbed this down. Lol

It took 4 years to solve "the Trump problem". Very prescient!

che los amo mucho

Love Tweedy and Wilco. But I see a lack of enthusiasm/passion in this older performance. Not that I'm blaming them. They're superstars, almost legendary at this point. Maybe I'm imagining it...

It's like Dr.John and Elvis Costello had a baby

Huge Wilco fan here. I think we can all agree that John's background vocals are an underrated and undiscussed part of what makes them great. Actually, every member in the group contributes to the greatness, but I've always thought John's vocals are overlooked.

I wonder how many guitars/basses Wilco travel with. Must be dozens

NELS!

It’s the quick cuts during the crescendo or Misunderstood that make it. Haven’t seen the editors play like that during a Tiny Desk, before or since.

It's 2020 and we are still working on the Trump problem, Jeff.

very nice of them to give them a human sized drum set this time

sounds a lot like Bob Dylan. still good though

they've come so far since performing in pawnee

Wilco is the best

funny...what Tweedy said about playing one more and then they all need to get back to work and figure out this Trump thing...weird...

Who doesn't like Wilco?

"I'm Always in Love" has the same chord progression as "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" by Waylon Jennings.

This band and this world miss Jay Bennett more than they know or are willing to admit. I guess that's all I really have to say.

Please Bring Wilco / Jeff Tweedy BACK to Tiny Desk ! :-)

Bring Jeff Tweedy & Wilco back again soon please ! Thank you ! !

Wilco / Jeff Tweedy sound best acoustically . REAL TALENT ! ! !

Glenn has so much endurance.
Playing that shaker through the whole song is a task, for sure.

Why do good bands think we care what they think politically? Just play your songs and not tell me how to think.

"The ashtray says you were up all night" is honestly one of my favorite opening lines ever lol
