Uncle Tupelo 11/92 - No Depression

[GreensongOakheart]

They sure put a great spin on this song. Helped to turn me on to other Carter Family songs.

[hopesnopes]

One of my all time favorite bands- and this is my favorite LP. Saw em in Houston 20 some years ago, thanks SO much for posting this!!!

[samuel588]

[razban01]

This is a good one!

[Putzflek]

This has got to be one of the most underrated bands ever...

[ruderocker]

@Putzflek Naw they got their due. Heck one of em married the club owner. Caint git much better than dat.

[freetickeys]

Considered, by some, to be the first alternative country band, this song represents an era in music that shall long live through Wilco, Son Volt and a myriad of bands like The Bottle Rockets. Not bad, for the 5th best country band in St. Louis. Lesson: Don't let your indulgences overwhelm your friendships!

@freetickeys

Only a blithering idiot would consider Uncle Tupelo to be the "first alternative country band". They were late to the party by about forty years.

[freetickeys]

I know there was a lot of alternative country (because it wasn't mainstream) chronicled as far back as there has been radio....yes, including the 1950's "Bakersfield Sound". However, the term was not in existence then. It was created in the 1990's and refers to bands and musicians who did not want to sound all Nashvilled up. The low production style they drew on as inspiration is from 50s to 70s music, mostly. Perhaps, debate on the subject subject should be left to someone smarter than you!

[porlet271]

uncle tupelo is actually from belleville not st.louis, just had to clarify

[soniclandscapes]

Lived in Chicago for 7 years... been in the Lounge Axe basement for my buddy Cedarcase's band...good stuff !  Long Live Wilco & Sun Volt !

[bonjovifan89]

omg i love uncle tupelo! i never thought i would see them on youtube. my dad was at their last concert and i sure wish i was there! i wish they were still around, but sun volt's really good too.

[cricketkuntal]

this band is not big but it should be!

[JoyGrenade]

This band was absolutely the shit. St. Louis represent!

[ModernHistoryMusic]

@JoyGrenade try Belleville, Illinois

[JoyGrenade]

@ModernHistoryMusic Good point. Although Tweedy did work at Euclid Records for a while.

[abqmufc]

@JoyGrenade don't you mean Milstadt and Belleville, Illinois represent?!

[sandalwhich]

@abqmufc Milstadt and Belleville are part of the St. Louis metropolitan area. They are less than 20 miles from downtown. Moreover, St. Louis was the first major city where Uncle Tupelo gained a fan following, from regularly playing in Cicero's basement bar. So yes, Uncle Tupelo was a St. Louis band.

[EdinAmmar]

this sounds even better live than it does recorded.

[9midwestern9]

i love the shows they did with Brian Henneman. Having another acoustic guitar on stage really bolstered their sound and helped the country undertones really shine through on stage. Too bad he was only there for one tour- but the Bottle Rockets did make some great music on their own.

[Rauoul]

Man, I can't believe I just stumbled upon this video, as I remember this show at Lounge Ax. These guys were awesome together, and this show was no exception. I saw them at Lounge Ax several times and seeing this video brings it all back. I continue to hold out hope for an Uncle Tupelo reunion. Then again, I've been waiting over 20 years now for a Husker Du reunion. Don't think that one will happen either.

[DynamiteKid156]

This is a cover of a Carter Family song from the 30s or so... but does anyone notice the similarity with 'Walk The Line'?

[JoyGrenade]

Yeah, except that this tune actually moves.

[Bmustang69]

Saw these guys numerous times god bless Mississippi Nights

[arkgunslinger]

Good One, Pants!

[tdills101]

Thank god for Pants!

[GGnextMatt]

<3 Tweedy!

[ChefTillDeath]

These guys are great.

This kind of music never dies.

[Dedalus0]

Holy cow! They really were as good as their records indicate. Wish I'd been old enough to know as well back then. Thanks for putting this up. It's quality!

[gibsoneb3]

They were born good...I liked the Eyes (Pale Divine) also. A great time for music in old StLoo...and Pavlov's Dog...what a rockin' combo they were!!

Thanks again PE.
