Wilco: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[UCMontrealsister]

The lead singer reminds somewhat of the Group Clearstone. Great stuff.

[diegoduncan3]

I love how Wilco is the first band I've seen at NPR playing 4 songs instead of 3.

[BandWagonWS]

the desk drummer cracks me up man!

[bschottm88]

how the hell do i get a job at npr?

[YoHuckleberry]

Ahem ... Nels Cline.

That is all.

[schaffer40]

What dummies disliked this???

[BIendtec]

Guys guys guys guys guys guys guys I like wilco and the beatles for their own special reasons. I meant it as a compliment; try not to shit your jockeys.

[JaxMusicSupply]

Amazing how good these guys are. No one can sound that good with such basic equipment (well, Buddy Holly and The Beatles excepted.)

[neuralbliss]

I wish I worked at that office.

[JacobGeorge2011]

If Wilco were still together today, this is what they would sound like.

[DownOnwax]

@JacobGeorge2011

Um, they are Still together.

[DownOnwax]

@JacobGeorge2011

Dickhead



[saddiago]

that's not a tiny desk

[nolan83]

Nels Cline can do anything.

[MyBeardisGood]

What kind of guitar is Nels Using?

[cmwells55]

nels cline is such a fantastic guitar player

[FMSTigervision]

Excellent musicians and music.

[bbdsmith88]

Kotche always rocks my world

[mymovienerd]

I wasn't a fan until I saw the Documentary I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002) on Netflix.

[thegardenpear]

I seriously underestimated them when I first listened to them. Now I can't get enough...

[CycleSpreads]

One of the best things I've listened to recently. Incredible.

[BusterBluePanda]

This band is one of the reasons I started my music career.

[fepisita]

war on war ...it only gets better.

[TheJoeMoran23]

Awesome. Can't wait to see them this month.

[wlyonsrhs]

Wow, I love that mini drum set.

[markusx2468]

Sweeeet. Why is it that I never heard of these from my local NPR station?

[WeazelNetwork]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL WHAT IS THIS GIBSON GUITAR?CANT FIND IT ANYWERE...

[davidnnjj]

@WeazelNetwork ....Only if you buy me one too!! It is a Gibson J-300. He has an added personized pickguard on top so it looks a little different than the original.

[WeazelNetwork]

@davidnnjj thanks very much dude!!!of course i will buy you one,thats why i asked you.. :)

[cydisc]

And a tiny set list 13:40

[gujohe1]

Con diferencia, le mejor banda del mundo actualmente. No hay nada comparable. ESPECTACULAR WILCO!!!!

[TheSyntheticOmega]

One of the most underrate groups of all time...

[bwhitty13]

Ahhhhhhhhh. So good. So good. So good. Sooooooo Good.

[AreaOfInterest]

My favorite band... By far!

[inigou]

What a band! Wilco is the best i've heard since years

[joezjoezjoez1]

nice

[annamarieintex]

genius!!!!! gosh, I'm so kicking myself for not being able to go to their concert! :( Wilco is amazing! I love their sound and writing! :-)

[seamonkeyguitars]

I've watched this video everyday since they released it.

[alfrecorcheator]

Putos geniossss!!!!!

[AugDaug369]

I feel like I alone have watched this 24,000 times... so good.

[barrettellisadair]

i thought the beatles broke up

[umujack]

Never heard a Jeff Tweedy song I didn't like. Nels Cline is unusually subdued here, but it still sounds great!

[ccslax6]

jeff looks like a wolfman?

[SlimeyX]

So much love for this. You could say.. The Whole Love :)

[jtd62589]

at 2:00 he forgets how to play the guitar haha. and don't get defensive, i love these guys. just making a joke.

[edwardgains]

when you hear wilco stripped back like this you realise just how f@#king amazing they are...

[vAbsolution]

When they play it with the rest of the songs in this set, War On War sounds like it could have fit on The Whole Love perfectly. So fun to watch these guys play.

[Reinisen]

Patrick is wearing the DUNGEN shirt I gave him 3 years ago in Canada. That's nice.

[nashsarable]

F*&%n awesome recording.. ..

[candicethefool]

who WOULDN'T LIKE THIS???

[daconstruda]

Mad denim.

[bobbykabam]

You guys have to get the dodos!

[ohohcaptain]

The older Jeff Tweedy gets the more he looks like a homeless Paul Simon. I love it so much.

[SoFarAreWe]

jeff tweedy seems like a genuine person, shows through these songs and through the lyrics. sooo good!

[bryanalone]

YES!

[sweetlikeADAM]

Likin' the drop tuned guitars.

[fortheloveofthesound]

Love the way Jeff looks back and smiles during the guitar solo.

[dethveggie]

This is terrific, definitely one of the best TBC's you've done! Thanks!

[dethveggie]

@dethveggie T*D*Cs, even. i tipe gud.

[jertyler]

That desk gets the best shows around! Thank you for this visit from a band I already love. Additionally, thank you for introducing me to incredibly talented musicians I hadn't known.

[SomaSoundBand]

awesome!

[charlietango48]

Anyone know know what kind of guitar Nels is playing here? Looks awesome.

[MrResomaker]

@charlietango48 It's a National Resophonic guitar with a painted metal body and a single cone. It also has a National humbucker pickup. I believe this is Jeff's guitar, as he was playing it unplugged for encores during his solo tour.

[BIendtec]

if the beatles were still together today, this is what they would sound like.

[samuelwilson93]

@BIendtec

Let's give some credit where credit is due, these guys are even better than the Beatles would be today

[BIendtec]

@samuelwilson93 oh without a doubt. Jeff tweedy & crew are musical sundaes

[Hunsanity]

they just seem like a group of really cool down to earth guys. pretty cool to see fame not corrupting.

[thisisfake306]

@BIendtec Don't misinterpret my reply as an insult to Wilco but please don't insult The Beatles.

[dtotheatothevtothee]

@thisisfake306 Or Wilco...

[mobelisuqe]

@thisisfake306 Fuck the Beatles.

[thisisfake306]

@mobelisuqe Hey fuck you braaahhh!!

[mobelisuqe]

@BIendtec Thats an insult to Wilco.

[Anakin1988]

anyone what kind of bass that is?

[jasba58]

@Anakin1988 That's a Harmony H22. It looks like a reissue. Some classic 60's Groups - Small Faces, Spencer Davis Group used this bass on many recordings.

[FourStrung]

NPR uploads are my favourite day of the week

[lostsidewalk]

I wonder if the second Gibson Jumbo Jeff is playing once belonged to Buck Owens? probably not, just some other "Buck"

[wangmary]

Amazing....although Jeff Tweedy really needs a shower

[mdrljrruest]

These Tiny Concerts continually blow me away. And Wilco is one of my favorite bands. Can't believe they played "War On War" too cool!!

[swanpond14]

Saw them live in Nashville a couple weeks or so ago and I have to admit, they are the best band i've ever seen live. Please, everyone, if you get the chance, go see this band!

[TheKarlArsch]

cutest drum set ever!

[DownOnwax]

@TheKarlArsch

Damn you! It really is the cutest drum set ever!

[BLByline]

Great bassist, tight harmonies, strong songwriting, and just a really fun little performance from a good band I've never really listened to before.

I like the descending to chaos ending on Born Alone. Reminds me of the "everybody's gone nuts" part of "I am the Walrus."

Now I gotta find more Wilco music.

[watson4675]

The reason I subscribed...stuff like this...it deserves a million views!

[TheDeadheadBen]

I am privileged to have seen this. Amazing!

[kcharrvt]

The desktop percussion unit is simply amazing. As is this whole set!

[tofumar]

The lead singer looks like one of the Geico cavemen. But good music.

[gnetml]

up close and personal! yay for hands and monopods

[nebulae87]

Thank god i subscribed to NPRMUSIC, or else i would have completely missed out on this performance by my favorite band. AWESOME!!!

[JamesHaskin]

I would LOVE some more info on the little drumset :D

[nebulae87]

@JamesHaskin looks homemade to me.

[danno1111]

@JamesHaskin it's a lap desk with stuff stuck to it

[JamesHaskin]

@danno1111 That is not more info... anyone that watched the video knows that. I was hoping @nprmusic could give some specifics about the things stuck on there.

[polykuromu]

♥♥♥ completely terrific.

[TwistedSpeech]

Great set! : )

[LexHills1]

@austinha11 Hey, cut it out.

[austinha11]

of course theres always that dumb stupid hipster asian bitch in the crowd. god

[Meandfrnz1]

These guys can rock anywhere and with anything.....Glenn's drum set was special...

[ElmerDurrer]

so THATS what the crowd looks like!

[runawayuniverse]

Nels!

[sonicyouthinphants]

[two10eleven]

Love Wilco!
