Jeff Tweedy - Remember The Mountain Bed (Live at Farm Aid 25)

From DirecTV's broadcast of Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America, Jeff Tweedy performs a cover of Woody Guthrie's "Remember the Mountain Bed" at Miller Park in Milwaukee on October 2, 2010. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

This reminds me of this girl I loved in Yosemite… I seen her wear a red felt dress in the Merced River at night , she left and kept Me there ,love makes the wind blow cold and warm , it could never cool the heat in my heart. Lynda I hope you see this someday and smile and remember me

[@cutlip98]

This is such an unbelievable almost surreal performance in a suburban Milwaukee baseball stadium

[@shnikies6230]

I've watched this so many times. Woody's lyrics should be considered one of the greatest love poems ever written and Tweedy did them ample justice.

[@iancunningham5576]

The first time I hear the Mermaid Avenue version. I nearly wept. I felt like I had been given oxygen. Watching this version I now know that I had.

[@wuwei43]

Beautiful

[@formzino]

I see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your head

[@heatherlindquist1899]

Yes.

[@drivebybodypierce]

The 2000’s had some absolute barn-burners when you perform a full & proper audit of the decade. Lots of great music all around.

[@lolly7608]

I have no words for how this song…and Jeff’s voice make me feel…so beautifully and sensitively performed.

[@scrabopower]

Imagine hearing this live..what a gift to the audience here. A truly underrated song.

[@annalybsee]

How can the audiance chat and walk instead of listening to this beuatiful song

[@cthomasr]

"My face all hot with tears" and "I walk above all pain" get me every time. Thanks Jeff.

[@bernardshakey2609]

this was the first dance song when I got married...lyrics may not be the best for it, but my wife and I love Tweedy/Wilco/Guthrie!!! You are the best Jeff! We also saw him in Rochester, MN solo (with our 3 yr old daughter) and this is the first song he played. As soon as he started singing it, our daughter put her arms around us...tear :) Good times, great man and even better song!

[@SunnyBear]

Never before has words and music from completely different ages married this well.

[@arlobill]

the greatest poem ever written..absolute pure genius

[@adandap]

Agreed - just a lovely piece of work. My favourite song at the moment.

[@CarolNance]

This is such a beautiful song and holds so many memories for me...it was the song my husband and I chose for our first dance at our wedding. That and many other living room slow dances...thanks for the post ;)

[@kaylamull5186]

So I have been wanting to use this as my husbands and I’s first dance too!! Did you have a shortened version you used for yours??

[@wendelgee01]

@@kaylamull5186we thought same thing. Too long for me and my wife who don’t love being center of attention. So we made a CD of all our favorite songs and gave as table gift.

[@Propaganda78]

This is such a savagely beautiful song. What more needs to be said? Everytime I listen to this song I think of my love. My Jamie. Its corny and its genuine. Simply gorgeous.

[@carlfaucher1543]

Now THAT is a song. JT in the Zone!

[@BillypilgrimII]

I can't perform this song. It's technically easy, but the emotion behind that Em just kills me every time.

[@wolfage5186]

This song cuts right through me

[@abrashadabka]

I learned the reason why man must work and how to dream big dreams, To conquer time and space and fight the rivers and the seas I stand here filled with my emptiness now and look at city and land And I know why farms and cities are built by hot, warm, nervous hands.

[@jtmchugh2]

One of the most beautiful songs.

[@greenethump3]

Why in God's name is this not at a million views?!

[@zacula86]

Thank you Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Tweedy. This is basically as good as it gets. Unreal. I'm moved beyond words each time I hear the song.

[@naradachik74]

I could listen to this song over and over....all time fave albums

[@dogeatdog49]

The description of the video above is actually incorrect, Tweedy wrote the music to Guthrie's lyrics. This song was part of the Mermaid Ave. II compilation. No matter how you cut it, this is a devastating performance.

[@amosleeful]

I pressed the like button before it even started playing. I don't regret it.

[@zacula86]

Goddamn! Mr. Tweedy with authority!!! As good as it gets.

[@jczother]

Woody words are timeless.

[@wuwei43]

Woodie Guthrie one of the great American poets

[@57Canham]

[@alfredrobertson7852]

Its a crime this gorgeous song is below a million views.

[@lj715757]

This is absolutely amazing, Jeff Tweedy; you amaze me

[@stevemelling9438]

Only discovered this song yesterday. Fully agree with the comments below.

[@MegaPaulharrison]

Never gets old. So good, so pure, lyrics, guitar and poetry.

[@brettpottorff6456]

I love hearing the lyrics echo in the stadium...great performance.

[@MrOooooolll]

I love Tweedy's anti rock star look, which looks like he just got out of bed! It's all part of his charm though, isn't it? His music, persona, (fantastic sense of humour!) and down to earth raw talent speaks to all of us,;like a beloved family member, or one of your oldest best friends, that is a pleasure to hang with, and cheers you up, no matter how bummed out you are.

[@heatherlindquist1899]

He suffers from severe depression

[@cmantooth33]

Brings a tear to my eye... Gives me hope for us all!!!!

[@jeffreypalmer1625]

Such a great song along with a competent and respectful job turned in by JT. Love this, is it stunned silence or indifference from the crowd???

[@jwelsh8]

How can anyone not like this. That is beyond me . . . I have had another version on repeat for the last hour, and I figured I would switch it up a bit. :)

[@jczother]

Great song, his best performance I've seen him do of it by far. I assume he blocked out the assholes and dug deep for his true fans!!!

[@SRunni_]

2020- COVID-19, I gotta go back to revisit this! :D

[@humanonearth1]

Very nice voice leading by Tweedy here.

[@kittycat43015]

[@perk0053]

Great song... luv his voice :)

[@christopherhunter8252]

God bless the farmers, well done Jeff, a class act as always.

[@MsJim1122]

Wilco wrote the music. Woody wrote the lyrics.
