Wilco - Via Chicago

One of my favorite Wilco tunes.

[@dandan5928]

When the chaos becomes synchronized and Jeff yells "I haven't gone too far" may be the greatest musical moment of the '90s

[@MrAndreaCaso]

Gosh! That's so true! It gives me the chills, too.

[@TedhamPorterhouse1]

Hell YEAH!!!

[@thesleepingbag8650]

This happened in 2007, but I get it, Summerteeth - 1999

[@jamesalesi1305]

And since.

[@Madgerald79]

Heard it two times live, I agree.

[@huskerhotelfoxtrot]

This song makes me cry about 70% of the time I hear it and Im a grown ass man....just perfect

[@Henley1315]

The freakout parts really got me when i saw them live

[@cristianjimenezsantos2944]

The more I listen to Wilco, the more I fell in love with them

[@davidsmith6355]

me, smiten 😍

[@jimpatrick1316]

He's hittin it💯

[@lindatodd8089]

yep- that's how genius works

[@JIPALIG]

John Stirratt, the bass player doesnt get enough praise. He does an amazing job.

[@jimalgie4224]

Tweedy's right-hand man since the start.

[@tonytuttle8018]

I can't remember where, but I watched an interview with Tweedy where he said, basically, we've gone through a lot of members but if I was ever to lose John I don't think Wilco would survive.

[@rexford4823]

Nils ......the most under rated of all the guitar heros.. So bad Ass good

[@detectivesargeantbrucerobe6046]

Nels, tho

[@BJBorchert93]

Jeff Tweedy is the Bob Dylan of our time.

[@samshapiro5951]

that's what I've always said. and we're right.

[@jacksondemarre8057]

Maybe Jeff Tweedy is just Bob Dylan in disguise?

[@jimpowers0810]

Bob Dylan is the Bob Dylan of our time. Parents, grandparents and children's time too #foreveryoung

[@mattgohlke8216]

I would not compare Tweedy to Dylan at all. Theres good comparisons like Joe Pug.

[@Berbs73]

This song is pure art. I wish more people understood the kind of music they make.

[@danhackley]

Can you explain it?

[@Berbs73]

@@danhackley It’s controlled chaos, beautiful sadness, and the lyrics are a moving target as far as interpretation goes. They’re in many cases, placed in the song so they don’t get in the way of how it feels. Idk… That’s the best I can do.

[@karamchandgautama]

out of all my live music experiences, this song was the greatest.

[@mikelilly5221]

the breakdown is the most difficult live music i’ve ever seen. jeff isn’t known for listening to band mates but this is next level.

[@clinedylan]

Few bands move me. Wilco does.

[@JasonKifner]

Imo this is Wilco's most beautifully written lyrics. It's like a TS Eliot poem put to music.

[@pps554]

Can't believe i haven't seen this video before. The most sadly, disturbingly beautiful song of all time song in a rocking nudie suit.

[@joefats1]

Exactly !!

[@andrewgeisler8299]

Simply wonderful.

[@jamesrobbie1981]

Say what you will about the man, you have got to love that suit.

[@nateayer3560]

what a performance

[@johneverett4299]

Long live the murder ballad. When I listen to Wilco, I so under embarcadero skies.

[@NymphTheDanube]

I'm coming home... searching for home, "Via Chicago"

[@charleshope2698]

I knew this band because of the brazilian artist Yonlu, he covered Reservations. I'm ashamed that didn't met this band before

[@dzig1000]

thanks for posting this. it's better than the album version by a great deal! When was this recorded?

[@Henley1315]

Just Such a Pretty song and then the tension with the freak out scens, would pay money to be a part of that experience again, almost makes using drugs seem like a good time

[@TedhamPorterhouse1]

Look @Jeff´s jacket, priceless.

[@DanielMogrovejoMartinez]

FBB

[@preisel100]

lovely

[@Sponch2309]

just and simpli waoo the guitar is perfect the effect of destruction is good so the best song just is good and heand up

[@Tele4326]

This is only great

[@herbivor43]

Incredible

[@DanielMogrovejoMartinez]

Existen presentaciones legendarias y ésta joya de la gira del Ashes of American Flags. Espero que muy pronto editen sl concierto completo luego de 13 años de una larga espera desde su estreno. El 2007 se estrenó Sky Blue Sky, nada más y nada menos. Sin duda, en el mejor momento de la segunda formación legendaria de Wilco. Wilco will love you Baby

[@clinedylan]

Right you are, right you are.

[@tonytuttle8018]

Oh I got to thumbs up it to 1K!

[@davidcadrian]

@dzig1000 It's off the Ashes of American Flags DVD, which came out in 2008.

[@Steelers3624]

Haha, Jeff at the end.

[@justomolet6521]

What concert is this? Wanna give it a listen.

[@chrismeyers101]

It’s from the film Ashes of American Flags. Follows Wilco on tour through small-town America with commentary from band members and many great live performances. Well worth checking out.

[@justomolet6521]

@@chrismeyers101 thanks buddy!!!

[@socgrrrl]

me too, me too.

[@TheSchellman]

very nice

[@SuperDirtyPickle]

Fucking staggeringly gorgeous

[@twinklysparkles412]

Fucking amazing.

[@okrajoe]

Can someone explain the meaning of this song?

[@Berbs73]

What does it mean to you? It's art. You interpret it however you like.

[@robseal2007]

Ditto. (sniff, sniff)

[@hollywoodartchick]

Is that a Nudie's suit? I love it! Wonderful song.

[@Jack-ku3bt]

The chaos even sounds like screeching tires

[@chrismeyers101]

It’s meant to sound like the screeching of Chicago’s el train passing overhead.

[@brammerface]

Why is he so funny

This band is like Seth Rogen. With a sound with wich anyone can love.

[@matthewoboyle6010]

Never compare Wilco to Seth Rogen. Seth Rogen is a talentless hack. Wilco is brilliant.

[@preisel100]

lovely
