This is the first time i'm seeing this and it was excellent. A 10 out of 10 for Wilco. And yes, i know who Wilco is. I love that the bass player even did McCartney's bit at the very end.
This coming from a man who “wrote” Revolution 9” and considered Yoko Ono’s screeching “genius “. He was an abusive, jealous prick, and because the dual harmonized guitar riffs, which ARE the song, were developed by George and Paul. John presented himself as a man of “peace and love” but was in reality, a real self-aggrandizing POS. Just look up the lyrics to “How Do You Sleep”.
I think you both need to chill the fuck out. But what do I know -- I just did three lines of cocaine off the floor of the local walmart bathroom and momentarily forgot how to speak English until I remembered reading your stupid ass comments and had to jack some old lady's phone while she was standing in line at the pharmacy to get her monthly Percocet fix just to post this reply. Peace and love
He thought the words were silly and that the song didn't mean anything. Plus it was one of those things where EMI said we need another song for the album. He just quickly rattled it off. No inspiration. Just a job.
@@edwardsmith3084 some bands wish they could write a song that good, but as you said John just rattled it off the top of his head. Anyone know the size of Johns round glasses. Been looking online but the ones I see look to large. More like Harry Potter size.
I don't think he thought that until much later. In part I think he became somewhat curmudgeonly about much of his Beatles work. He may have thought something like "I write important songs with meaning like Imagine now. All that Beatles stuff was just fluff." My take, however, is that those Beatles songs and this one in particular were not fluff. They were cool, beautiful, important, groundbreaking songs musically and lyrically. Maybe this song had SOME nonsense lyrics, maybe not. Surely not ALL of them. And what if it WAS entirely nonsense lyrics? So what? It's still a beautiful composition! He should have taken it easy on his past songs and not been so serious about it.
Back in 1980, my progressive band did our version of this song. I had to learn to play both guitar parts at once, by myself. While the vocals are a bit shaky, the performance was solid. Here's a link to it: th-cam.com/video/gmauJJB5un4/w-d-xo.html
The song has two main lead guitar riffs, one lower on the neck and one higher, played at the same time, but yes, I think someone in the band was doubling up. Still sounded great though.
I'd give that a 6 out of ten. Good effort, although the harmonies are pretty lame - no blend in the voices, and some of the parts are wrong. The bridge dual guitars came off nicely, but the rest is a bit messy. As an 'interpretation', it's OK - as a cover, it's pretty weak...
Geez! Even with three guitars they can't get it right. They sound like crap. The thing with covering a Beatles song is you have to get it right. An experienced guitar player (and an experienced band) should have no problem playing this piece.
My favorite Beatles song of all time.
Damn. WILCO always pulls things out of there hat that makes me love them even more
Makes you appreciate John Lennon's talent and voice and Beatles harmonies. They made it look easy.
This is it. Greatest video on TH-cam
Wilco rocks...LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!!
Excellent touch on this Beatles classic.
LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!!!
Jeff Tweedy once pointed at me (at Bogarts in Cincinatti YHF Tour). Probably the coolest thing that will ever happen to me personally.
Muy bueno, muchachos!! Very good, boys!! Greets from Argentina!!
Great version. They rock.
I think they get a 10 out of 10 for just selecting the song. Plus they pretty much nailed the guitars.
This was my pick! Hope they keep it in the rotation!!
Makes you appreciate what a great drummer Ringo was.
Live Ringo's good but he never played on one recorded Beatles track.
@@slow-mo_moonbuggy Is that a wind up? 😵💫😵💫😂😂😂
Ok....
Absolutely

Sounded good. Great tribute ...
...Real pretty good covering of that Beatles classic!! Plays this well, It make you wish that this song was longer in its original writing 👍🎶
Great cover, never understand why John wasn’t happy with it.

You got your request 2x! Great selection. They didn't play mine, but there were so many great covers that I barely cared.
Made me happy today. Thank you.
best cover of this song I've heard
Check out "The Fab Four" and all of their "George's", (Gavin Pring, etc.) do BOTH leads on ONE guitar. That's the new "Raunchy" for trib. bands!

Check out The Jam’s cover
@@georgescarlett2320 And if you play it on one guitar it doesn't sound as good, it's harder and sounds worse
th-cam.com/video/TPAtGpU_xY8/w-d-xo.html
Well, that kicked ass 👍
I loved that when they played that
It was all-request covers night, that's the point.
plus I'm so glad I was present and brought my children to see Levon Helm Mass MOCA- and the sun came out after it rained for 2 days
Thanks Jeff! Miss ya, Dan C.
I rarely buy shows any more but I might just have to shell out the cash for this. Its worth it.
いい演奏😃サンキュー😉👍🎶
Fantástico!!
Happy belated birthday, our John.
Fantastic
And to think John thought of this as a throw-away tune. That's depth.
PERFECT 😍😍😍😍😍
Tweedy's fascination with the Beatles. Listen to the Summerteeth album. :-)
Nice Bass
Bravo!
The day breaks, your mind aches...
These words are MC, not Lennon, sorry.
@@MrBal78 they saying their brain automatically plays For No One next
I was there.
Love
awsome ......tweet tweet.

Nice job boys.
i have one, original 1965;)
holy shit ...
UH,YEAH,GREAT COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John would have been very pleased, I know Paul is.
Yeah, the second time was better, especially the chorus at the end. Though I think the guitar harmonies were stronger in the first.
Done!

No casinos?
Were all 3 guitarists playing the part?
The song has two main lead guitar riffs, one lower on the neck and one higher, played at the same time, but yes, I think someone in the band was doubling up. Still sounded great though.
Wilco wishes they had a song this good Tweedy is a lot better guitars than people realize
Great choice, mine was "life on Mars", I realize that may have been a downer in retrospect. Were you so psyched?
When KRL grew up we would have become WILCO....
Cameraman, next time can you focus on the guitar player that's playing the solo? Please? 🙏🏻
can't hear the bass.
I think Wilco does Beatles bette- just saying
One Beatles song is better than anything in their whole catalog
Poor camera work, but great cover.
white boys playing on top of the beat

Are you Simon Cowell?
@@tonybates7870 If you like...
Some sloppy moments with out of tune strings. Oh well - typical Wilco.
Geez! Even with three guitars they can't get it right. They sound like crap.

Give them a break.
Why? What's the point of this? Low-brow entertainment? Lowered expectations?
