It is hard to say. I think he may have thought about it, but i have a feeling he probably would not have left unless he was pushed out as he was.
Yeah I think so too, it would be really hard to leave after those sessions, they knew they had something big with YHF. You could tell while they were recording it.
Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?
Dreamer in my Dreams is a very cool song i did forget that one. Also just wanted to add my two cents on the thanks i get.. .it is an awesome song
soulsinging i agree with a you to a degree about wilco being a backing band for tweedy he obviously writes teh lyrics, but espcially with the older cd's jay bennett (and others imput) were very curcial to those albums.
Plus the line up now has some very respectable musicians such as Nels Cline (GREAT GUITAR PLAYER) and Glenn Kotchie (very good drummer) who's musician ship really enhance the albums. Idon't feel that way when i listen to a bright eyes album.
Oh and for the record i like a good bit of bright eyes stuff so i'm not knocking him just wanted to throw that opinion out there on their differences.
yeah, i wasnt saying the band wasn't good, i just meant as in there is clearly one person who is "in charge" and does basically all the writing while guiding the band's creative vision. their live album is stellar and having seen the dvd, there is some cohesion/contribution. i cant compare that to bright eyes really, as i dont know enough about them.
How come I didn't see this topic sooner? I love, love Wilco. I've seen them three times as a band (once at Bridge School, once opening for R.E.M., and then headlining their own show), and I've seen Jeff Tweedy solo once (in Los Angeles). All four shows were brilliant, although I have to say that Tweedy solo was far and away my favorite of them all!
My favorite Wilco songs:
She's a Jar
Forget the Flowers
Bob Dylan's 49th Beard
I'm the Man Who Loves You
Via Chicago
Misunderstood (ESPECIALLY live!)
Sunken Treasure
Remember the Mountain Bed (off "Mermaid Avenue")
I am Trying to Break Your Heart
Jesus, etc.
War on War
Radio Cure
Hummingbird
Company in my Back
Spiders (Kidsmoke)

It's on a promo CD for the Nonesuch label. Don't know where you can find the CD, but I should have a copy of the song somewhere on my computer -- I'll upload it for you when I get the chance.

I am still trying to find that version of 'Kamera' from the documentary.
Anyone?
You mean the clip from the IATTBYH DVD? I ripped all the songs from the DVD into audio files, I should have them somewhere....are you still looking for 'Kamera'?

Hell yeah, you have that! I even check on the wilco board, and no one over there had it.
Oops, you know what, "Kamera" must be played during the documentary itself, because I don't have it. I only have the songs from the bonus disc. Sorry to get your hopes up!

Anyway, anyone have the version of "Kamera" from the DVD? That version kills.

Have you heard the Demo version? Outstanding...!

No I have not,...where can I find that?

The great bassline is not there, but I like the raw feel of the demo...

I have a lot of Wilco but that is something I don't have.
Sounds Amazing!!!

They are DEFINITELY worth checking out if you can find them. I prefer some of the songs/versions on the demos over the CD.
Hey thanks anyway, don't worry about it.
