Wilco - I Got You

[harwicke]

Jay tearing it up. Wilco, the best thing in music over the last 15 years.

[TheThewheel67]

get the album Radio.....what a musical experience.......two discs of the same songs done to different music tempos...nice......love Wico...AM

[FALCON3607]

i love rocking out to this at work

[xfebar]

Jay Bennett a la lira... enorme.

[sueandrewi]

LOVE LOVE LOVE WILCO can't listen enough THE Most awesome band ever!!!! I LOVE you WILCO!!! xoxoxo

[rick4001cs]

I never knew Johnny Depp played drums. He's pretty good too!

[DeclanTKatt]

Glen Kotche may be a better drummer technically... but I really admire Ken Coomer. I would KILL to have him in my band.

[daanje1062]

bl8tmate- I IMAGINE the afterlife to be something different! Cheers.

[comradshaw]

God this looks so old--and it's on VH1 lol.

[Fluclox]

awww man Jeff looks about 12 there. Awesome as ever though

[55pogue]

early  wilco

[reissue]

Jay and Jeff, smile

[daanje1062]

Jay Bennett was to Wilco as Chris Bell was to Big Star as Gram Parsons was to The Byrds. I imagine each of these guys in the afterlife...maybe wondering about the music...and why it all had to end so soon.

[bl8tmate]

@daanje1062 They are in the afterlife and have no clue of what's going on in this life, hence, "afterlife"!

[moji420]

wnt ever forget the good times and hardcore laughing and joking that we shared. cheers to yu kid... hope yu are doing good.

[nelson3300]

This album duped me into liking country :p

[quad1000]

R.I.P. Jay. God needed a guitarist/producer up there...

[castertunes1967]

still their best album, not that others aren't amazing enough...amazing live band! so tight!

[pboom]

Being There...

[jaysunhoffman]

Is that Robby Baker on the far right ?

[JedifuzzMojo]

Still my favorite Wilco album, though I know I'm in the minority on that. I just never got the later stuff (after Summerteeth). It just got to far from "rock" for me.

[jayhawks69]

@JedifuzzMojo you`re so damn right!!!

A.M. & Being There are THE Wilco- Albums!!!!

[ziffels]

Jedi & Jay, if you're partial to the early stuff you should have liked the last two releases right? Sky Blue Sky and Wilco both got back to a more straight forward sound I thought.

[alfrecorcheator]

I agree with you at 99,99% ;-b

[jayhawks69]

@alfrecorcheator 100%... ;-))

[elementz1986]

This reminds me a bit of a Teenage Fanclub song.

[robseal2007]

Spot on, man.

[NicoleKidA]

oh wow Jeff looks so young.

[taylorrr1211]

jeff reminds me of paul mccartney when he performs.

RIP jay.

[Billsterpt]

I love Jay's jammy pants. RIP brother.

[keithmoonforever1]

my fav song on being there

[ladymuffin1962]

classic Wilco

RIP Jay....

every album has some little jewel you can hang your personal hat on....

[esteban57764]

RIP jay. 1:51 badass

[bcdrummin]

Yeah, definitly a great solo! RIP Jay

[simonprohax]

rip jay

[glammm25]

RIP jay.

[goffmeister78]

love it at 0:53 where they all move back at the same time....

so sad to see jay here in his pomp before it all turned sour, RIP.

[filthee1977]

RIP Jay....

[jayhawks69]

no doubt-

i prefer the 90`s WILCO!!

i saw them live many times & they ROCKED in the 90ies...

still a fine band today, BUT, maybe more a songwriting/studio- band?!

[prinsface]

Way to become the first Wilco fan ever! OMG!

[reissue]

Jay Bennett was great for this band.

[morganenosfilms]

i definitely prefer wilco in their post "being there" period, but this song rocks.

[iamlameduck]

Being There is their best or second best album, but okay.

[morganenosfilms]

that's a good one, but imo that's where they were just finding their sound. for me, it's all about summerteeth, YHF, and a ghost is born.

[NorthWriter]

Same here. For me, YHF is to AGIB what Rubber Soul is to Revolver. YHF and Rubber Soul are the albums that find their creators starting to break out of the mold that they'd been in for the beginning of their careers, and AGIB and Revolver were the albums where they were like, "Okay, let's see what happens when we take this a little farther."

Oh, that and both pairs of albums go back and forth as my favourite album from each band.

[morganenosfilms]

agree to agree, revolver is my favorite beatles record too.

a ghost is born is really something, i'm not sure why a lot of wilco fans have bashed it? it's a gorgeous and challenging record i can listen to all the way through, ten minutes of white noise included!

has anyone here given wilco (the album) a listen? i listened to the stream, and i'm still not sure what to think of it.

[goffmeister78]

i've lsitened to it morganenosfilms. not too sure what to make of it really, bit more of the same of blue sky blue. think they may have gone maybe a bit too 'soft country rock' ... will have to lisen to it a few more times to get a proper idea though.

[chalkmychacs]

I think Wilco the album is great. takes a little time to grow on you. but its back to basics. easy lyrics. kind of a mix of everything

its amazing how many members wilco has gone through.

[pkahnke]

Agree 100% on the a ghost is born comment. Why anyone who thinks YHF is so great but doesn't like Ghost just doesn't make sense to me...it's like YHF taken to the next level...

[moodyfab4]

yup. i'm a mega-huge wilco fan, and Ghost is by far my favorite album. it's the best live material as well, in my humble opinion

[dearsarahshu]

i think yhf is best but ghost is great too.

[rotolo]

wow jay is soo good..

[hooskerdu1]

Gotta agree on Jay. Although I love all of their stuff...the earlier albums are looser...and that's why I like them more. Jay is amazing and I wish he were still with the band.

[mregal]

They certainly were not a technically better band in 1999, but the sum sounded tight on stage. A little sloppy, a little ragged. Kinda like the 'mats. I love the side shots when they all step to the mic. Jay was a great foil to Jeff. People age, they get older, priorities change, etc. They're a great band now; Jeff's a much better songwriter; maybe a better studio band than a live one; I understand the evolution, but I think I prefer the 90's version.

[shattercones]

Ken's old band Clockhammer. Worth checking out.Heavy duty and complex.Good luck finding the 2 CD's.

[issofunky]

This i like....maybe THIS was the Wilco I wasn't seeing in those other tracks...

[goodbye41]

fucking boss, some good ol' Wilco

[Shrubbs]

Classic

[scoop2230]

I'm watching this over and over to try to find out why Ken keeps switching his lead hand. He's just over complicating a not complicated song. Oh well, still sounds great.

[kickingtelevision]

This is one of the reasons Glenn Kotche is a better drummer

[busstopratbag]

yeah. he is more melodic if that makes sense

[kickingtelevision]

makes perfect sense

[jackhitts08]

I miss Mike Heidorn

[oalikor]

Where is their personality????

[loupp]

01:47

[dudejonz]

What that little head bob...that was awesome! I love the current line up, just saw them in Missoula for the first time, but I like what Jay did on guitar as well as presence.

Then again, what I saw was unmatchable.

[wancestyle]

here today, gone tomorrow? They have been playing for over a decade! Do your research before talking!

[stronitum]

I don't know who's pushing these guys, but the're really nothing special. Here today, go tomarrow. Sorry.

[Mcbain4000]

are you retarded...?

[ParsifalTG]

Band dynamics aside, John's improved his hair since Being There.

[Miamono]

I was fortunate to see them on the Fri & Sat shows at the 5 day residency. This ROCKED live on Sat night. Yes, Jeff does look like Michael Bluth (loved that show!) Didn't see them with Bennet, but must say that Nels rocks out and the shows are great! Can't wait for Wed night show!

[insightphotos]

Jay was/is an amazing ; too bad he had to be acontrolling wise-ass during "YHF". Kotche is one of my favorite drummers (as in, e-v-e-r) but this guy's a wall of sound. Great! Nyah-nyah! I'm seeing them in Chicago on Feb. 19; the next-to-last gig of their 5-night, winter residency in Chicago (@ The Riviera Theater, unfortunately...). . Can someone explain why they DIDN'T win the "Rock Album of the Year" award at last night's Grammys? Well, at least Steve Earle & Levon Helm both deservingly won...

[glazeguy]

I think it was a dark time between Jay and Nels...

[insightphotos]

My girl & I saw the 4th night. Holy mother of god. Exhausting. I dunno how they do it. Their latest edition-- that kid with the throwback hairstyle and Townsend-esque antics-- had to home by 11p.m. Otherwise, I'm sure they'd have played a bit longer....

[gianc123]

Jeff looks like Michael Bluth in this video.

[alexleee]

I concur

[sssllloooaaannn]

Nice pants Jay, ha.

[gayfarmerboy]

i think wilco is better than ever with glen kotche and nels

[kingsteak99]

I hate to say it but they were a much better live band with Bennett.

[dapeach317]

What is wrong with you?!?!?!?!? They re so much better live with Kotche and Nels!!! Trust me, I have been to 4 wilco concerts, with nels and kotche

[PappyHab]

You cant compare who is better!!

They are totally different bands now.

They have always been good live. They are alot tighter now as there is more emph on musicianship.

I miss the old Wilco with Jay and Ken.

[specialgary78]

dude - have you seen them live since 1999? They are an unreal live band now. They were great then, but they are in another stratosphere now. Nels, Glen, and Pat are a huge addition to Tweedy and Stirrat. I have never heard a better live band....ever. I have heard them pre and post Jeff and there is no comparison.

[Dude421]

Radiohead's a great live band.

[wednesday55]

I bet. I wish I could see them live :)

[Dude421]

I wish I could see both Wilco and Radiohead. Only with Radiohead it actually costs money and Wilco it's like 40 bucks or so.

[67gmctruck]

dude421

There is a radiohead upload for you to watch and comment on. This one is for WILCO. I love Radiohead but this is not Radiohead, it is Wilco. Be well out there.

[Dude421]

Well, the whole things about about Wilco, I don't think a little "informative opinion" is hurting them any, so I think I have the right to say what I will.

Plus it was a slight change of subject, slight as in it's still in the music section, but if I were, I don't know, talking about how the balls of chimps get sweatier than humans, then stop me.

But I'm done here anyway. WILCO FOR LIFE!

[67gmctruck]

Your right. I shouldn't argue over small points. Life is too short and there is plenty of Wilco to listen to.

[Dude421]

Agreed.

[rotolo]

the good old days

[sdubois92]

one of their funnest songs ever

[BatteryLeg]

its ok though because Glenn is way more talented then there old drummer Ken

[blemheim23]

This clip is before Glenn was in the band...

[warmjet]

where's Glen???

[apacolipps]

Being There is fantastic.

[honestpanda]

sounds more like a Big Star song than a Beatles tune

[jfishfan1000]

wilco when they were goooood. So bad thery're back!

[Dommy1952]

Great Beatles-esque tune and performance! Too bad it's out of sync here.

[guitargrl90]

Also the one at the very end... if possible.

Also, if anyone just has a link to these.. I would be eternally grateful

[guitargrl90]

Can anyone tab the solo Jay Bennet plays around 1:50

The whole thing! That would be so awesome!

[bruiser07]

awesome find... old skool wilco
