Wilco on Austin City Limits


I saw them on Austin City Limits recently and was really impressed with this band. They have a great sound, interesting lyrics and Nels Cline is an absolute MF on the guitar.

Anybody heard Nels new album?

I agree with Time, I think Wilco has legs. I get the impression that these guys have been around the block a few times and hope they have good things in front of them. I highly recommend checking them out on Austin City Limits.

Seeing/ hearing live performances can be a revelation at times. I live in a town with a large population of pro musicians. These guys will occasionally pay the bills by playing in cover bands. One of these groups, (several members of a band called the Fuzzy Sprouts) do a show consisting of the album "Abbey Road." First of all, these guys nail this album stone cold. I'm 45 and I've heard the Beatles so many times that they sound like elevator music. Hearing this music live has completely renewed my appreciation of the Beatles. To tell the truth, I was never really a Beatles fan until now. I grew up a Stones, Who, Zep kind of guy. Abbey Road is now one of my all time favs. An old dog can learn new tricks.

Now that I’m reminiscing, I used to think Bruce Springsteen fans were a bunch of yuppies until I saw him live in 1977. After that, I thought he was the greatest (well... up to "Born in The USA" anyway).
