WILCO & BILLY BRAGG : CALIFORNIA STARS

[MrLuciano54]

Pure joy and love for music is what I see in this clip...love it

[karmadhyana]

I don't remember seeing such a genuine smile of pure joy in a long time, as the one I see on Jeff Tweety's face here.

He smiles like a beautiful child, and sings with astounding reverence for the music.

[markdou]

awesome...Sarina on new year's eve in the desert...

[connorlovesgaga]

This song makes me sad, I do love it alot

[joanld]

:]

[bersee]

This is very good with snow.

[nestorian9]

Billy Bragg said some pretty funny, sly comments about getting these Woody Guthrie songs instead of Dylan.

[AndrewJohnClive]

SHeesh! Nels' lead is amazing!!!

[stephen1340c]

Amazing. Wilco also co-performed this song with Sarah Lee Guthrie and John Irion.

[HeebieJeebies11]

this made my day

[Behindertenrecht]

SUPER !!!

[SosasRoomProductions]

OMG! I was just looking at a concert from Mettalica! it's crazy what the differences are! Like the fans at Mettalica are like screaming! Jumping! And are big metal heads. But these people! They can't compare to them!

[MacLenHarStar]

like to see how Jeff Tweedy adjust his gitter loudness at the end-pin @0:47

[ragville]

this really brings a smile upon my face ! beautifull.

Just posted by Billy on facebook (making note of it being Hank's 99th), "Next year is Woody's centenary - and Wilco and I will be taking you further down Mermaid Avenue"

[nestorian9]

@trickydickynavis and then Tweedy inexplicably said he Bragg was full of sh**. At least according to what I read. Tweedy=Mystery.

[craigmacnaughton]

Is it Jeff Tweedy, OR Billy Bragg? THIS should end ALL debate ッ.

[riserclamp]

i love it, mate!

[tommycassII]

tweedy is a genius song crafter but would be tough to work with in a band he def wants to be the one controlling and in charge, look what it did for Jay Bennett

[zvonac1966]

veliki pozdrav iz hrvatske, volim vas, zvonko

[Amandargardner]

this makes me all tingly. wow.

[Amandargardner]

this makes me all tingly. wow.

[Cylam]

im the one who made the 100 likes and this song i would like to play like thousand times or more and more and more.

[archDeluxxe]

man that Jazzmaster is weathered as sh!t. Looks like it was lost at sea. I think i see barnacles on it. Love it.

[thinlinechris]

@2:11 is that lee renaldo?

[Lambstryker]

From what I read in "learning to die", Jeff and Bragg had their differences, but it's great to see that they can set them aside in the name of music.

[jgraffeo87]

Honestly... how could you not like Billy Bragg's solo stuff? So good!

[leogadget]

How could you not love Wilco? Pure joy...

[somper10]

So, so money.

[EatMorePez]

This was filmed on November 11, 2009 in Weissenhäuser Strand, Germany.

How come during the piano solo at 2:55 they show a close up of every member of the band except Pat, the man playing the piano?

[GowanBray]

Great closeup of the Jazzmaster at 3.27, and that little finger is so long !

[mike3k]

I love this song

[rugshort]

I've never liked BB much the whole Mermaid Avenue thing made me respect him more. I like the songs he did on those albums, unfortunately I still don't like his own stuff.

[slatternofhelens]

this can cheered me up no end....

[Bob6stringer]

Great tune I've never gotten to see live, and it reinforces that there was a bond between the two singers, not just some common, triangulated respected for Woody Guthrie. Good to see, thanks wilcoclubvideos.

[hazelbobcat]

this is so wonderful to see, thanks for posting

[stevetett]

According to BB it was in November 2009

[Plumplechook]

Nice to see them together again. I thought Billy and Jeff had a bad falling out.  So this is great to see!

[linkerdrich]

This makes me miss Jay Bennett (RIP) and Leroy Bach

[hockeyboyjd]

How recent is this? Where was it at?
