Wilco - Any Major Dude Will tell You

[paragshah2112]

@payday0023 when i heard this song for the first time (which was about 10 min ago ... yeah ... i know) i thought it was a grateful dead song. that band could've def pulled this song off in a quality way. i was shocked to find that it was actually done by steely dan. but i saw this youtube post and said what the hell i'll hear the wilco ver too ... and then i read your video description and thought it'd be good to add my .02.

i wish it were possible to hear the grateful dead cover this song!

Good work, Johnny.

[shellski1972]

where the fuck did obama come from - weird.

[shrew972]

thanks - had no idea!!!

[starrymooney]

they should record a new version with Nels in the mix. Would add a whole new (wicked) dimension.

[starrymooney]

once again - when was this done?

[payday0023]

@starrymooney I think sometime around 2000 for the Me, Myself and Irene soundtrack

[JonnySoonami]

when did they cover this?

[payday0023]

@JonnySoonami I think sometime around 2000 for the Me, Myself and Irene soundtrack

I was just thinking of buying Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan. Until I saw this clip I never knew my favourite band, Wilco, covered Any Major Dude.

[link8131]

One of my favorite songs, covered by my favorite band. What could be better?

[ultrakool]

belleville...jed clampett, jimmy conners and jeff tweedy, all champions. good cover

[ultrakool]

@ultrakool oh wait, deh wit barry o? nevermind

[tyleryesta1]

Its when the demon its at your door.. Hence in the morning "it" wont be there no more. It probably wouldn't bother me as much if it was some no name band at a local bar, but for Wilco to record it like that is a bit disrespectful to Donald.

[alexmortland]

A tasteful rendition, as always with Wilco. Kinda sounds like they missed a few chord changes in that "when the demons are at your door" part, though. Whateva.

[DPC1959]

Me, Myself and Irene soundtrack is full of SD covers

[mezzetin1]

this is an abomination, and tweedy is a lazy ass artist, if you wanna call him that.

[jczother]

@mezzetin1 opinions are like assholes, you know the time this man has spent to be where he is? He's been touring since he was 18. He's by far the best songwriter os a generation.

[gallerycabaret]

then what?

[jpwjr1199]

meh

[normy11yt]

I stand corrected. I was at both and must have gotten them confused.

[panlemans]

waist of time and energy

[jrichman21]

Oh my ...this is a great great cover

[JEAkira]

Me, Myself, and Irene anyone?

[mminer58]

Great down to earth sounding cover of a classic song.

[3117ss]

oowwwchhh....eewwww...nice TRY

[hatriarch]

I changed my mind this cover is badass

[viewer362]

Wow - Ive heard few covers of any SD songs, but its good to know that when one is done, its done well!

[normy11yt]

Awesome. God Street Wine, a NYC band that drew comparisons to SD in the late 80s / early 90s also did a wonderful version of "Any Major Dude" at their reunion show at the Gramercy Theatre July 10th. I believe it was the only time they actually covered SD, though I could be wrong. You can find it on the Internet Music Archives. I suggest checking it out.

[kind2311]

@normy11yt omg great to see someone talking about GSW! I love them will every fiber of my soul

small correction, they played this song at their 3rd reunion show on July 16th at Irving Plaza, not the 10th at the Gramercy.

[mindyhertzon]

This is OUTSTANDING! Thank you for posting it!!!

[612franklin]

That's a Gathering

[Lisarata]

Great how they added the hammond organ and the little changes in the chords.

[youlino]

excellent cover, has its own caracter, i would go to their concert any time, very good work!!

[twisteddsister]

This is an ok cover, but not as good as the SD original.

[evelynmh]

@twisteddsister wow...fancy meeting you here...you just never know who you'll run into to these days...btw Joe's cover of this isn't too bad either....

[twisteddsister]

@evelynmh It's a small world ain't it. I'm pretty loyal to the SD version. I always like hearing covers though.

[LouGehrigsDisease]

@hatriarch you serious, clark? 

[philip1967ful]

another reason to dig wilco, that was one of my favorite steely dan tunes,and they did it justice

[angryscowl]

never thought anyone could compare to the Dan....... i was wrong, not jazzy enough, but still great!!!!!!!!!!

[usurper914]

I and I grow more and more fond of Wilco with each new meeting. Thank you payday0023 for posting this very good cover. Peace.

[busstopratbag]

you got some great photos here. i've never seen a lot of them. great cover too!

[payday0023]

Yeah, mostly google images but I dug semi-deep for them... It's a great tune too.

I heard "Outta Site" in a Sports Authority and it made me laugh. Wilco is an underrated rock and fucking roll band.

[ccquarles]

Acceptable cover of a Dan song. However; some aren't, such as Smashmouth's version of "Do It Again." Someone spray some Gay-Away!

[BJtheBassist]

I just heard Ben Folds Five, a-hum.... "play" Barrytown for the first time EVER. (It was the live Version...)

Thanks for letting me know who else avoid... (Smashmouth)

Oh yeah, I'm glad Wilco didn't butcher this song!

[withears]

Funny. I never thought much of this song in its overproduced original form, but I like this stripped down version.

[SpaceIntruderDetecto]

Boy what a lame cover of a great song

[julanona]

I thought It was awesome. the guys in wilco are a talented bunch

[BJtheBassist]

Go listen to Ben Folds Five play Barrytown Letterman and YOU will be BEGGING to hear this again!!!!!

(On second thought, don't. DO NOT listen to Ben Folds Five.)
