Uncle Tupelo - Life Worth Livin' - 2/91

[mwells219]

wilco had one pretty good album, A.M. and one okay album full of a few good tracks and mostly boring filler. jay farrar has been quietly under the radar putting out some of the most important american music since the 1990s.

Hey I always favored Wilco but this song is worthy of Wilco. I really did listen to 6 songs but sometimes it just takes one more search, one more listen. Forgive me I knew not that I sinned ..

@11xzxzxz Son Volt kicks ass too, Uncle Tupelo was like the Beatles, 2 great bands from it!!!!

[jbcatl]

Awesome, just awesome.

Like Townes van Zandt, these guys did and still seem to write lyrics that could only come from folks much older and that have been through the shit of life,bent out of shape by societies pliers. but the lyrics of sound as if from someone 55 are coming from yong punks. . Amazing dylans of our time

I love UNCLE TUPELO sooo fuuuckin' muucchhhh...

[arambler]

Definitely remember this show. My first time seeing these guys. I was so excited about seeing the Mats, I thought I wouldn't care about the opening band. Damn, was I wrong. Bought "No Depression" on vinyl the next day. If only I knew then, what I know now...

[Wrangler1939]

Love this song.

Can't believe I found this, One of the best shows I've ever seen. After the Replacements were done I couldn't hear anything but ringing for days. Awesome!!!

[plimsoul]

I remember this show very well. I was standing on the sidewalk when UT pulled up in their robins-egg blue Dodge van. They hit the back of the Replaceements tour bus. Knocked out both UT headlights. When they piled out it was the band + Brian Henneman and 2 guys from Rockville Records--and all the gear. No trailer  It was my first time hearing them and it blew me away. After the show they drove off into the dark with no headlights. On their way to South Carolina I believe. Unreal.

stellar!

once again, the crowd is so cerebral at Toads. i guess they were waiting for the dance party afterwards.

The perfect Bellevegas anthem

Thanks for sharing this great song!

On the last Son Volt tour they did a sped up electric version of this song which actually sounded really cool.

[midwestern329]

One of the great UT songs they seldom performed live after the first tour. Awesome to see a live clip of it! And check out the long hair on Jay!

[ChefTillDeath]

This is one of their best songs.

Makes me feel better when things are down.
