Had I seen this video when "Being There" was released, I might never dismissed Wilco as a bunch of dickheads. Warner Brothers Records could fuck up a trip to the john.
@quartercherries yeah i'm not too sure about this one... I really love Being There, but this video is a little.. how should I put this.. stupid? Then again i get the idea that Wilco doesn't take this video seriously.
Most of my fondest memories are of growing up with the music of the 90's. I remember sitting by my stereo with a cassette in the tape deck ready to hit the record button whenever a song I liked came on the radio. This was one of those songs. That was the Napster of our day. Kids today just wouldn't understand, being able to get whatever they want, whenever they want. Maybe I'm just waxing nostalgic, but I totally miss the early to mid 90's. All around, it was just better times for everyone
@eshanny511 Amen! The SONG does matter, right? This is a great one. For a brand NEW band with great songs- just back from UK - please see my new post of "Visions", by Blue Sky Diamonds-their upcoming 'single'
with an 'album' due this Summer ! I love those guys!!
Well shot. mix of open air and blue screen footage, I think the sky divers are actually professional stand in's dressed as the band for the free fall, close ups are blue screen.
The inside of the plane is a set, basically it would be too unsteady in the back os a plane even with steady cam and dangerious.. think about an instrument falling out the back of a plane. i doubt it for safty it would ever happen.
1998 trip across these united states. from manhattan beach so. cal. to NYC. driving thru texas ..wilco double album. and later back in calif..some guy in san francisco, at the jack keroauc bar vezuvios...says he's a big wilco fan!?? and so we drank and listen to wilco on th juke box. eveyone should.
jezus i thot the rave scene made the 90's bad, but christ the stiffeling sufficating overload of boybands that ALL SOUND THE SAME from the last three years is really putting the current generation to shame
great album. it's too bad that warner bros. completely ignored the album, as evidenced by them posting the video in oct of 2009! only 12 years late, but thanks! with support like this, wilco will be HUGE. in 2020.
I think it should be obvious that there were real skydving shots, but they were pro divers dressed as Wilco, with the close-up shots being bluescreen. You have to be a really experienced skydiver to do it with a board while holding a musical intrument.
Also, in response to the comments below, I think it's very obvious that it is real. People have gotten married while sky diving before. Making a music video should not be that tough. You just bring along a few good cameramen.
Did Wilco actually Skydive? I've been trying to find the answer but for some reason nobody's talking about this video. It seems from a videography standpoint that it's not real, but I really want it to be
does anyone know what kind of plane that is in the beginning of the video?
