Wilco
Irving Plaza
15th February 1997
Recorded Live in New York, NY

[@marcschmitz2318]

This will always be my favorite iteration of Wilco. That Being There tour was so much fun and they were still playing a number of Uncle Tupelo tracks as well. Might get three versions of Passenger Side in a set. It was a good ol sweaty rock show. So thankful I got to witness the Milwaukee show at Shank Hall.

Wilco is the finest. They're the best. Always good, every time. From the 90's till now. This line up.. The current line up. Both great. Love Wilco, always will.

[@Chris_Mann_2020]

Jay Bennett is rocking it

[@TheLongCut1]

One of the greatest shows I ever attended

[@davidinucci]

We miss you, Jay!

[@jacquiwesley455]

Great F*ing show! Thanks for posting! I saw Wilco show #2 at Mississippi Nights. Brings back great memories.

[@lungflogger9]

I love this concert, the sound the energy, the songs (which I know all of them)...I just found this great live show!

[@danhundley]

This is a cherished relic / time capsule. Thanks for posting!

[@markvonwisco7369]

Just saw Wilco at Breese Field in Madison, WI on 8/19/16. A very different band, but still kicking it. They did a great acoustic encore. Kurt Vile and the Violators were the opening act. Great show!

I know this was three years ago, but people like you make the internet great

[@llebieck]

Thank you for posting this. This made my day!

[@extra-chill]

Damn, Wilco killed it back then. They still do, but this is so much different

[@davefusa]

First 2 albums are the best

[@theheartofablackbird2109]

I love Jeff's new stuff also, but man his voice sounded good back then.

[@ih8music]

excellent - thanks. I've seen clips from this show, but not the entire thing.

[@kidcharlemagne76]

One can still hear the colors emanating from the music today

[@darylcumming7119]

Thank you.😊

[@jasonbarton6087]

Jesus, I'm getting old... 20 yrs ago! ; Was there that night. Wilco headlined over Johnny Cash! So weird 2 think everything in history was filmed. Who knew someone was taping the GD show!

[@billbates6887]

Tell us more

[@jeffdixon847]

Wrong show. Wilco and Johnny played Irving Plaza in Sept 1996. This show is six months later.

[@gdsfgdgfff]

This is gold

[@Joel-ls6fn]

Fucking Jay was such a SICK ass guitarist

[@drago6769]

yes he was RiP

[@That0neMonkey]

Good God I miss the 90’s!

[@californiatwilightstudio]

🌹🌹🌹

[@Chris_Mann_2020]

I like on kingpin how jay goes from that cool key part to guitar solo while smoking a cigarette

[@JHAM3232]

This is the Wilco I know and love. No pointless Nels Cline noise solos, just kick-ass songwriting backed up by a great roots-rock band.

[@danhundley]

This comment aged horribly

[@andrewheck5704]

For the love of all that's holy, please keep a guitar on Tweedy!

[@deathkampdrone]

Stiratt is rocking a sick bass here! Are those double strings? :O

[@grifftrain]

I know band need to keep evolving to stay fresh and keep the members interested in continuing, but I sure liked the country-rock version of Wilco more than the art rock sound they got going now.

[@danhundley]

How do you like the new country version of Wilco now?

[@grifftrain]

@@danhundley which album? Cousins? To be honest, I haven’t taken a deep dive into that yet. It has a country sound?

[@danhundley]

@@grifftrain Actually I was thinking about Cruel Country

[@grifftrain]

@@danhundley ok. I need to check that out too. I have to admit, the last 3 or 4 albums, I haven’t listened to over and over. Now when I’m in the mood for Wilco, I put on Being There, Ghost is born, Tankee Hotel Foxtrot, etc… I also have a couple bootleg studio outtakes of YHF and those are excellent too. So my original comment may not have been fair, because I just gave them a quick listen and haven’t gotten into them yet

[@tidepoolbay]

I Was There! WooF!

[@LSUOdyssey]

Ill take any Wilco era or lineup

Philip Seymour Hoffman as Jay Bennett

[@drago6769]

Wow is all I have to say about that hat jay was wearing at 30:46

[@jasonbarton6087]

Forgot how confrontational Jeff was that night. In a (semi-) dark place!

[@fugknuckle]

You would be welcome :-)

[@groovy65baby]

This is the Wilco that made their reputation. Then they fired Jay Bennett and Cooper... so anemic sounding now. This lineup was the absolute best band I’ve ever seen. 97 at Fillmore SF. Damn.

[@HurricaneForceGaming]

5:32 That souds painful

[@ryanhall7538]

He sounds like the guy from Uncle tupelo

[@amw99]

I know nobody asked, I did not buy Being There. I had some bad experiences with double cds in high school, most notably the Forrest Gump soundtrack. NEVER would both CDs be found in the case. Plus, I was not that into A.M. But then I saw this. I was never the same.

[@cbartal1]

21:20 I was Jay's best friend for 8 years during high School and four years at U of I. We. Lived tigether for 4 years at U of I in Champaign. We played together in a horrible cover band called the rebel ducks in Champaign. Jay was always an immensely talented musician. But he was also a passive aggressive asshole. That's what it takes to make it anywhere. I was useless and untalented. Jay was brilliant, but he had a very low voice, which was exacerbated by the fact that he became a chronic smoker. During our fourth year of living together one day there was a knock on the door and I opened it and let Leroy in. And a bond was formed between them. I was outclassed by both of them. Eventually Jay joined Wilco, and a couple of years later he got Leroy into Wilco. What disturbs me is that years later during Yankee hotel foxtrot, in the I am trying to break your heart documentary, Leroy dissed Jay, saying that their friendship had run its course. That was a really cold thing to say considering Jay got Leroy into Wilco.

[@ramonathewaitress]

Ken Coomer just always looks someone's dorky uncle.

[@kentton77]

Intro sux, matching a base drum with a snare is so stupid or misleading.

[@ghostofmuse]

This is awesome, I'm enjoying it and all but... I wonder if Jeff would look back at this and be a bit embarrassed by his hackneyed showmanship.
