[theMonk1]

Awesome. Thanks for uploading this stuff.

[Philby62]

Just fantastic stuff.

[arizonabay15]

This is what YouTube is all about. Nice one Mr Pants.

such Talent!!!!

Jeff is totally playing a Jazz Bass. You can get any sound you want out of them if you've got the right rig. My Jazz through my Mesa 2x15 sounds like a monster.

[wreckedbasket19]

@TAMortensen That's a Precision bass dude. Pause at 6:27.

[ZRN959]

@wreckedbasket19 Jazz...

[bradyforce]

God Damn sounds great for just banging it out in their practice space! Amazing simply amazing archival footage

[epackfan]

All I can say is wow!!! Cool find! You can tell neither of them are comfortable with the camera on them. Jay seams to loosen up a bit more during Factory Belt.

[jbcatl]

This is such a classic piece of video - you can hear what this was bound to sound like when it hit the recording studio. Thanks so much for posting this.

[theonlycherryghost]

Jeff was more comfortable with talking than Jay!

[wws4n]

Wow. thank you for posting this. what a gem!

[HatFactory09]

Wow not only did i look alot like Jeff, I was playing Bass back then as a 14 yr old, but it was a big heavy cheap piece of crap from 'Griffin'. I still loved it though ;o)

[LuaBloe]

What are the titles of these two songs, please? This is very nice, love it!

[Danimalfoster]

Graveyard shift, and factory belt. In that order,..good stuff.

[bridgeplayaken]

Amazing how these punk rockers spawned a whole movement!

[Danimalfoster]

Dude...............Wow

[Tedleo875]

I'm the biggest Tweedy fan in the world, and this video is AMAZING. For so many reasons. On top of the obvious, Jeff is playing the same bass that I play with now, a Fender Delux Jazz bass in the same damn color. Unbelievable.

[nightbird2990]

thats a fender precision bass that jeffs playin dude..

[Tedleo875]

You only get to see it for a second, so allow me to keep the delusion that it's a jazz bass. I'm happier that way.

[goluphi]

No way Jazz Bass is going to have that kind of growl :).

[aquariumbirth]

being an honest engine, i'll say this much: i love a few wilco records, respect jeff tweedy as a vocalist and songwriter... but this is the first time to hear uncle tupelo.

pretty fuckin' great!

[yardwork2008]

omg, if you like wilco and havent heard uncle tupelo yet, are you in for a treat!!;

uncle, to me, was a real super group and were so influential in their own genre, basically spawning the whole "no depression" movement; every song, every album is classic;

[9midwestern9]

Cowbell! Love Hiedorn's style- always so original. This is amazing stuff. They were all about 18. Amazing how Jay's voice is the exact same then as it is now.

[Barilla09]

This is great!

[sja0925]

the way jeff and jay's voice harmonize is pretty cool

[SSHitMan]

Wow, fantastic!

[rugshort]

SO FOOKIN' GOOD!

[drummer8864]
