this song is NOT a tribute to 9/11... it was written and recorded WAY before that... it just happened to come out on 9/11... So get over it... it has nothing to do with 9/11
comparing radiohead to wilco??? i guess that's why america is losing it's freedom of speech, when 90% of what comes out of the peoples mouths is BS. i wouldn't act differently as a governor/prez XD
my hometown , could`t believe wilco made it to nova scotia headlining, and i travelled to see them play to 500 or so on the gibson guitar factory roof in memphis thinkin the`ll never play here. Sometimes it`s nice to be wrong!
i agree so much man that day is one of those burned in your memory and certain things just bring you back quick this one fore sure, i can still se the look of relief on my moms face when my dad finally waked in the door from"work" that day at the towers (it cant be called work that day) great song and tribute if u ask me
This is the only song I really like from them but it's probably my top 5 songs of all time! Not that anyone here cares...just saying...if people can say they've been listening to wilco from way back. I can surely say this :)
Man. I was so into these guys ten years ago. Nice to re-discover them. Tweedy's lyrics are are so brilliant "You were right about the stars, each one is a setting sun" gorgeous!!!!
i live ten minutes from alderney gate, and i missed this, i didn't know it even happened until now, i wish i would have been more informed, very nice job thanks for sharring it.
WILL EVERYONE PLEASE STOP COMPARING RADIOHEAD AND WILCO?! sure i understand the similarities, both have evolved to become increasingly critically acclaimed and experimental, but really, I love both bands and I honestly don't know how to compare thom yorke to jeff tweedy, or greenwood/o'brien to nels cline. they're all good in they're own way! so just listen to one or the other, or both. since when was music really about competition?
I completely agree. They're apples and oranges. Its up to the listener to decide what is the sweetest. One is melodic and beautiful, one is weird and cool. Isn't it cool that there are cool bands out there somewhere?
Yeah those two bands are completely different and it's quite silly to compare them.I love both but I prefer Wilco because I am more into americana stuff.

radiohead shits all over wilco. what the hell are you retards on about. im sorry, and alot of you are going to hate me. but seriously... wilco is average man.
Well lets see here, radiohead is in the rock catagory for starters. So that would make the two bands completely uncompairable. Secondly, have you ever picked up a guitar or a keyboard and tried to play half of the shit they play. Tweedy is probably one of the most amazing song writers to date, the only thing that york knows how to do is work a computer and sing. His lyrics arent that great, and all he does have is a bunch of layered tracks that put you to sleep.
if you knew abnything you would know that thom york is an amazing pianist and greenwood is a musical genius. bands like radiohead and tool have made such amazing contributions to music, i would say they will and have changed the music of our future with their amazing influential and original genius. other people on this thread were comparing them and i said there is no comparison due to the fact that wilco is not even in the same league and bands like radiohead. wilco is just another band.
RADIOHEAD AND WILCO?!?!?! PFFT whoever reckons they're alike needs they're fucking head examined. and i reckon wilco is shit. my mate does a better version of this song. UP YOURS !!!!
I think Rhead are dreamy too, but more from other side, they more depressive but also more intensive what makes me love them:) Wilco are great, but i listening them quite rarely, still i admire them. I think their music is more like "hold my hand and i will hold yours", although it is question of the mood also, and i do not want to vilify this music, there always was and will be such bands. They are not as unique as Radiohead for me.
No, not at all like radio head. I disagree, but I do hear why you might say that... I think they are classified as alt country (I think that's mistakin too) just because of the lap steel. Hard to classify, but you don't hear lap steal in radio head, these guys remind me of Brandon Benson, just a bit.
kinda see where your coming from, the noise tracks and chaos parts maybe resmemble some parts. i think radiohead are a bit more prog where wilco's noise is just nuts.
trollfinger, you are the only one of these guys that I agree with. In Rainbows was probably radiohead's best record. i got the box set and the vinal sounds great. also, sky blue sky was probably the best or second best behind yankee hotel foxtrot. Im going to a wilco concert and I hope they will be as great as they were the other times I saw them.
Man, i saw them in november and they were amazing. i saw them once before but it seems they are on top form now. the only problem is they can't have enough time in the world to play evry song you want. but any amount of wilco live is a good fix. hope you enjoy it.
Ok, maybe you're right. But Why compare an alterbative country band with an alternative rock band at all. I think that if you want to make comparisons it has to be within the same field. Or else, it's like comparing Mozart with Britney Spears.
guardianista you make a very good point, and I must admit I've been part of that "sea" at a few shows, but it's not always for us to re-live at home, sharing the music and the moment with those who weren't able to attend is a major part of it, but anyways great vid kirk, this song is truly amazing.
why don't people watch the band at shows any more? every gig is just a sea of little LCD screens so people can re-live it at home in low-res monophonic glory.... get down an feel it, leave the microchips alone for a few hours....
I saw them in Southaven, MS and Meridian, MS. I melted the first time, and melted even more the second time, even though it was two years later. Marry me.
how this band has changed my life this past month!!turning my orbit around like the big-time. yankee hotel foxtrot on mindcandy is the best thing you can do to realign your compass............
what is a good organ to get this sound?
