Wilco - Impossible Germany (Live on Letterman)

[TheFizz40]

Every generation there are bands who first recognize their own talent, have the fortitude and perseverance to stick it out, and are simply committed to being the best artists they can be while always remembering that it's the love of the music and playing with each other that matters. Because of this Wilco has become this unstoppable musical force!

me happy

[Swankymo]

The guitar work towards the end is reminiscent of Thin Lizzy. I can't get enough of this song. It sits there on the runway for awhile and then starts to take off. Then just when you think you're about to descend it launches into the stratosphere. This live version is the best I've heard. Powerful.

[StiffBoard]

@Swankymo Absolutely my first reaction when I heard this song, it's Scott Gorham and... Snowy White perhaps, repeating the riff over and over.

Nels Cline reminds me of David Gilmour from Pink Floyd just a bit when he solos.

Dear Nels,

Thank you for violating me last night.

Love,

Guitar

I have seen a lot of live versions of this song, but this one absolutely floors me. Nels, & Mikael are ridiculous.

[TyrannosaurusCharlie]

I wonder if I'm the only one who knows wilco here in Chile -.-

[two2four4hello]

[mindyhertzon]

To say that Wilco makes me happy is an understatement. LOVE YOU, WILCO!!!!!!

[coronet67]

Tweedys hair makes me uncomfortable

[maddiecmori]

When Nels Cline throws his head back into the glow of the stage lights he looks like some guitar-weilding Adonis.

[JJJE46]

Wilco uses Nels Cline like a weapon.

[burnthemerch]
