Wilco: KCRW Live From Apogee Studio

The gold standard. . . all mic'd up and recorded live in a room with a small audience! A real band together after years (decades) on the road, recording at the height of their musical powers! JUST PLAIN WOW!

Nels Cline at 68 years old is just insanely good. God I love Wilco so much.

One of the best bands … best songwriter , best musicians. An historical band.

It's rare that you don't notice what Nels Cline is playing. Even when he's being super-tasteful and fitting right into one of Jeff's songs, he almost always sounds like himself. In a way he's Wilco's version of The Band's Garth Hudson, whose job was not to vanish into the songs but to sound like Garth Hudson - to add unexpected contributions from his formally-schooled background to the others' more instinctive approach. Garth was The Band's wild card, and Nels is Wilco's. And, like Garth, Nels doesn't even pretend to sing.

This performance of Bird Without a Tail, with guitars having a back and forth conversation , is just amazing. And it's live.

Drum work in base of my skull. Stellar

The greatest band America has produced for my ears , amazing as usual.

that solo on Bird Without a Tail / Base of My Skull!!!!

The whole Wilco enterprise is a unique poetic journey. My personal favorites were Sunlight Ends and Meant to Be. Thank you for this!

For some reason, "Soldier Child" has been omitted from this video. It was played between "Sunlight Ends" and "Evicted." (I was there and have a copy of the set list.) You can actually see that the clock behind Nels says 8:39 p.m. at about 28:45 and then it says 8:47 p.m. about three minutes later in the video at about 31:47.

Cousin is such a great record. I havent stopped listening to it since it came out. Its really revitalised the band playing these new songs live.

The perfect band for my fellow empaths. I love these guys so much. No other band gets me in the feels like Wilco...through my dark past, sweet present, and bright future to come. They still inspire my soul while creating utter beauty. Thank you! Love you!

For whatever reasons, Wilco was really feeling it this performance. Jeff is in the moment and the band is playing inspired.

This performance resonates with frisson! The band is closer than cousins on this stage and we can see and hear each individual’s parts to make up the whole of the songs. I love it!

The jam on Bird Without a Tail / Base of my Skull is so Grateful Dead Birdsong jam 74ish inspired. So awesome sweet. Has become a favorite live song.

Nils has been unsuccessfully performing an exorcism on that guitar for a long time, and I'm here for it.

Handshake Drugs. Yes!

Bloody wonderful! Wilco never fail to impress.

a well-oiler machine. It is amazing how they still put out great music so deep into their career. One of my favorite bands

I love and adore Jeff Tweedy since I first caught a glimpse of him. Best songwriter, astonishing composer, along with the guys, and one of the most beautiful souls in the world of music. You can truly and easily connect with his emotions, even though Wilco's music is not mainstream/easy-listening for everyone. But once you decypher it... You will never return from it ❤️ Love you guys, from Spain!!
