- Armed with acoustic guitars, tiny amps, a desktop percussion unit and a ton of grace, Wilco plays three new songs from The Whole Love and an old favorite in a stripped-down but powerful set at the NPR Music offices.
Set List:
"Dawned On Me"
"Whole Love"
"Born Alone"
"War On War"

My Daughter played Wilco for me today. I looked at her and said "Do you know how many Wilco CDs I have?" She said "alot or you wouldnt have said that". Smart ass kid, but I love that she knows and likes Wilco.
very nice jeff!
I got introduced to Jethro Tull by a 14 year old today...feels kinda good
that response was perfect
I assume that it was Yankee Hotel? Let’s introduce her to Joni Mitchell
😂😂😂
My dad would play Wilco in the car every day after he’d pick me up from kindergarten. Their music is some of the first music I ever liked and they’ll always play a big part in my life. Those were the days.
Wilco is very “brought up in America” kind of music. Very nostalgic
The tribe called quest is pretty amazing as well
You have good taste, thank you dad lol. Low end theory!
good dad alert
That's in a movie...
Wilco is, in all likelihood, the greatest band to not have a single hit, in the history of American music.
They are what I call "The musician's musician", I know they have great popularity here in Kansas! But yeah they are hidden gems just like their peers The Jayhawks. ever hear of their supergroup Golden Smog?
True enough. The Grateful Dead are close, but there was Touch of Grey that hit the charts.
@@joedoyle5 it took 25 years to get that hit
@@joedoyle5 yeah great example or should i say "grate" ugh but yes both stellar bands
Phish needs to be in the conversation as well
Wow.. my buddy told me about these guys like 15 years ago.. tried listening and didn’t get it. There are stages in life when your just not ready for something. Just tuned in to check it out, and couldn’t leave. By the end, nothing but smiles, thanks Wilco. True joy
You should reach out to your old buddy and let him know that both your brain and your ears have evolved
Same experience
I listen to this about once a month and ten years later it hasn't aged a day.
Man, Glenn can play ANYTHING and make it sound good. He's an amazing drummer. And I love the fact that he has no problem playing something really simple if that's what the song calls for (which is the best quality of any drummer).
NorthWriter well said...
I've seen the band on Wednesday and completely agree. To see Glenn on the drumkit is absolutely fascinating. A wonderful drummer!
Honestly they didn't even need a drummer for this show. If they're not going to give him anything to work with and put him so low in the mix/not mic him, what's the point?
@@suburbanindie i think the precision, minimal as it is, would be missed in this set. He seems perfectly content, even enjoying the novel kit he's working with.
@@suburbanindie🤔 i meant percussion .
Their song Whole Love gets me everytime. Wilco is one of the best bands ever.
This tiny desk was so influential to me as a musician. It got me into Wilco and tiny desk. I think maybe the most meaningful music video for me ever.
I had NO IDEA who Wilco was before I watched this video. This is f%*king AWESOME!!! The band, the idea, you gotta love NPR and what you are doing with the series is cool beyond words. Beautiful to see.
Good on you
This is easily the best TH-cam comment of the 2010s. I can't believe I haven't seen it until now. Cheers!
"You have to learn how to die if you wanna wanna be alive"
One of my favorite lyrics ever
Yep me too
this is just the best thing in life
You have some great taste in music. What all music do you guys listen to? A lot of neo-soul too i think? I hear a lot of great music in your videos!
I love you man.

nefarious hawthorn phish phish
Wilco and sourdogh!
That first track, the bass line in the chorus and the whole thing are just complete bliss. The melody is so endearing.
Yeah! I just love that bass!
I've never heard these guys before (of course, I'm ancient!), but I really enjoyed their music and their performance. The jazz guitar and oddball percussion truly adds excellent textures to the songs. I think this concert has made me a fan.
I agree. I was watching a tweedy video when wilco was suggested.
The band name wilco was familiar, but this was the first time i watched one of their videos. I turned 60 yesterday (creeping up on ancient)
And will certainly look for more
Wilco. I think it will be a great way to start the day.
Nels Cline. John Stirratt. Glenn.. They are all so fantastic together. I feel very lucky to be alive in this time to see this. Thank You Jeff and Wilco. ♡
Not to discount Wilco but that humble guy in the background second from the right is the legendary experimental jazz guitarist Nels Cline.
HOLY SHIT
He’s unbelievable (ie Impossible Germany) but goes to show you the pull of Tweedy leading the band.
He has always been their guitar man as far as I knew. Totally underrated in rock n roll, but anyone good is nowadays
and you're SURE that's not Alex Cline???
@@mickeycoldcuts1919 phenomenally talented
The Tiny Desk Concert series is absolutely amazing.
There has never been another rock band who can manage to present such dynamic songs with acoustic instruments as Wilco can. Each member plays a role in the overall sound with no egos in sight.
Made me smile when he hit those high notes perfect on 'Whole Love'
"The Whole Love" album was just a masterpiece. It doesn't get enough credit in their discography. It was an incredibly inspired set of songs and the best thing since "YHF" or "Being There", IMO. You could tell during that whole period of promoting the album and playing shows that Tweedy was really happy with that record.
When I listen to some of these songs played live, as per this set, I think I could easily agree.
I never liked the production on that record, though. I think that's what put me off, and those songs went past me until lately.
Think they recaptured their recording mojo with Star Wars & Schmilco (particularly), though.
That little girl in the front row is so freaking lucky... you KNOW this will impact her life forever in such a positive way! ♥ #justsaying
I remember that feeling. A buddy of mine came over and said "You have to hear this!" He put on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and we listened to the whole thing, start to finish. It is my all-time favorite album to this day. If you're looking for a good starting point, that is the album I would recommend.
the "raw" files of the Conet project documenting all the shortwave radio numbers stations in itself is super weird/cool listening
Being There is not to be missed
Uh uh. Being There is a masterpiece. Ignoring that double album would be like ignoring Basement Tapes, London Calling, and Exile on Main St. and saying "yea, I really like The Band, Clash, and Stones."
I love this so much. Their little bouncing movements keeping time makes it feel so intimate.
dawned on me - 0:10
whole love - 4:17
born alone - 9:10
war on war - 14:27
Thank you.✌🏻❤️
Have a Great day ❤️❤️
Ty
Just love seeing all these informal, sorta intimate concerts! Thanks again, NPR, and all the musicians who agree to do these!
This rendition of Whole Love is phenomenal…
desktop percussions!!! :) jihijhij... I am thrilled and delighted. Two thumbs up to fellow percussionist, the lack for space for the propper drumset opened enough room for creativity and innovation. Way to go!
Really, one of my favorite bands ever, love the storyteller vibe and love npr even more now that they hosted this .. great band
War on War FTW!! That sounded FANTASTIC!! My favorite band, and rightfully so, tearing it up! Love these guys!!
why does this band always leave me feeling nostalgic
I love them but sometimes it hurts to listen to them. They're the only band that makes me feel melancholy but joyous at the same time. It's hard to listen to them...
Maybe the denim?
It’s real music. And it’s real!
I love this. Those melodic bass lines! Such good songwriting.
Just love the notion of 6 guys with nothing better to do than gettin' together and revisiting a bedrock environment with some heartfelt tunes of their own making.
Glen playing a cupcake and someone's Bento box while they are at a meeting is priceless. I wish he could take a call on that phone thingy while he's playing.
Mandatory NELS!!!! One of the best guitarist ever The solo on “Born Alone” is one of the best sequences ever... feels hopeful and alive just incredible
Don't know how many times I've listend to this ......Just LOVE IT ! ! ! !
Absolutely in awe of these guys. Such a wonderful group sound, playing with the absolute basics!
Love these Tiny Desk mini-sessions. It shows what the artists are like as people. JT comes over very well.
Wilco kick ass! love the sound of the guitars and of course jeff's voice is incredible as always
What a fancy drum kit.
Pero si son los chachis
worthy of the genius
I have that same kit!!
@@____________5956 ola chachi xdd
I'm just seeing this after 11 years. Magic! Love these guys.
What makes these guys so great for me...for the last 16 years it seems like they write songs for me to hear and discover.
"Now, let's trash this dump!" The last soundbite heard at the end of this video. I've probably only just focused on this for the first time since listening to this performance over and over.
I've been young
I've been old
I've been hurt
and consoled
Heart of coal
Heart of gold
So I'm told
I've been lost
I've been found
I've been taken
by the sound
My own worries
and voices in my head
I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
Every night
Is a test
To the east
From the west
The sun rises
And it sets
As the sun
At its best
I forget
That I know
I regret
Letting you go
Sometimes
I can't believe
How dark it can be
But I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
Dawned on me
So far
And so forth
And again
I will stop
To begin
at the end
I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
I can't help it if I fall
In love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know
It dawned on me
Wonderful. These guys owe a lot to the Rutles. (This is just an observation. I truly like the Rutles. Oh, and I am the walrus is in here, too, of course.)
Beautiful
Brilliant song
love little drum kit so amazing
These Guys are an awesome band
They used just about every inch of that tiny desk. Awesome performance!
Tiny Desk Concert - The celebration of triumphs of music experence. Everyboy's music. Everyday's music. Thanks.
Incredible talent. We're blessed to be witnesses of such greatness.
Saw them a on a moonlit night outside at Avondale Brewery in Birmingham AL recently with the smoke from Saw’s BBQ next door drifting over the stage. Inspired night for the little crowd and the band I think. Always great. Always Wilco.
I just love how Wilco sounds. straight up.
Coolest "casual day" at any office anywhere EVER!!!!!!!!

Excellent, beautiful, lovely. Made my night to stumble upon this. Saw em' back in 96' at the Coach House. Just fantastic live.
I can't stop thinking about how this day was probably one of the best days in these people's lives.
Man just found this, feels like I’ve met an old friend whew. Thanks Wilco
I felt the same way when I found them! Have you explored their other stuff? They’re fantastic.
That is one of the most amazing bass tones I have ever heard!
Yes! Very Wild Honey Beach Boys
Enjoyed them for many years. Albums are great. Dudes are normal. Just really good musicians that got together. They did it for us to listen to
This is just magical! Thanks Jeff!
Saw them live in Nashville a couple weeks or so ago and I have to admit, they are the best band i've ever seen live. Please, everyone, if you get the chance, go see this band!
The guys in Wilco seem to genuinely like each other's company.
Wilco always makes me feel I’m living my best life
What an Amazing treat for Music Lovers everywhere ~ NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert ROCKS !
Love Love Love Wilco's Choice of Songs here !!
Lived down the street from Bob & JoAnn Tweedy. Lucked out one spring day & caught the Wilco crew playing wiffle ball in the street. Jeff was gracious enough to autograph my copy of the A.M. cd jacket. That was 1996. My daughter was 7 years old. Now she is a budding folk artist. At the time she had no idea what she was gifted by Jeff. Now at 23 she's a bonafide fan!
Saw these guys at Gathering of the Vibes. The bands before them were psychedelic jam bands. The bands after them were psychedelic jam bands. They did not fit in at all. I was tripping my face off and when they came on, I immediately went to sleep on the lawn. After they were done, I woke up. It was absolutely perfect.
Awesome live gig especially when we can’t go see em in person! This is just wonderful! Ty Wilco & npr! Lol 👍❤️🇺🇸🔥☮️😻🎶💋💯🎵🧨🙏
All the good things I need. And I thank Wilco for that. 💖💖💖💖
woke up today hating everything, nice to stumble upon something I love
Best tiny concert ever.
One of my favorite tiny desks. I keep coming back
I had forgotten how much I LOVE THESE GUYS !!!!!!!!!
I love the band. Makes me want to pick up my acoustic guitar again.
that bass is so lively. Stirratt son...you're a genius
Heaven is where the radio station just plays Wilco, Nick Drake, and the Beatles for eternity.
There a very few bands I can listen to almost constantly and not need a break for awhile to re-appreciate. Obviously Wilco are one of them.
i'm 39 years old and only discovered the glory of wilco last year. better late than never but i feel like of missed out on so much.
I felt that way nearly 10 years late to radiohead!!!! Finally caught up with bail to thief :-(
Now you’re 45. Sorry ☹️. At least Wilco is still making albums!
This makes me so happy.
This band is one of the reasons I started my music career.
I'm glad there are still bands like Wilco and Old '97s around.
You should check out Twin Peaks, a bunch of twenty somethings from Chicago, if you don't already know them. You might like them.
killing it even in the office...soooo good... love the drum kit
Whoever mixed this knows a thing or two. I mean, they're in an office.
Don't think I have ever seen Jeff look so happy.
yeah dude has had a weird/wild/tough go of it in stretches - did you read his auto-bio?
i have been watching this over and over, Love it.
One of my fave from NPR - great sound
fantastic band. just saw them 3 times in south america and cannot get enough
Nice man. Could you pick a favorite out of those three shows? I'm curious because I assume the setlists must've been near-identical. What a phenomenal live act!
I went to Rio, the 1st one in Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. Definitely, the one in Rio was the best. The crowd was really mad, singing guitar parts and all. one of the best shows ever!
Tweeds lookin happy!!
Love, love, love these guys.
amazing musicians! ...and recorded so every instrument is distinguishable!! NAILED IT! Indeed!
I listen to this daily
I'm not even a Wilco fan and I love this.
I love the "tiny desk" drum set!! Very cool collection of little percussion.
Ya'll have recorded the best tiny desk concerts. It's amazing how great the sound is in an office.
You never know what instruments you’ll see at a Wilco concert 😂. But you know it’s gonna be GREAT.
I have never before felt an almost irresistible urge to brush another mans hair.
***** yeah he kind of looks and sings like and Irish wolf hound
you havnt seen my hair.
Hobie chic apparently. Apparently. I've never had the urge to reply to such a ridiculous comment son. Apparently😎
Hoboe ha lol
It dawned on you, then
wow that was actually one of the best versions of "War on War" they've done!
still an amazing voice after all those years ! :)
I heard the band's name a few times and I never got the chance to listen to them. When I first heard this performance some years back, it really made me appreciate them a whole lot more.
Probably one of my favorite Tiny Desk Concerts of all time.They sound 10 times better than any of their albums here.
Music videos make it a little easier to get through this period of "social distancing". Thank you Wilco!
This is terrific, definitely one of the best TBC's you've done! Thanks!
Every time I watch this it makes my day...
They should change the name of this video to "How to become a Wilco fan in less than 20 minutes"
Well, that was feckin awesome eh?
I would love to play in this band.
If you don't hit your mark, Jeff Tweedy beats you.
Being beaten by Jeff Tweedy with that Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar would pretty well be the highlight of my career as a musician...
Love it ! Can't tell you how many times I've come back to see this. :-)
these guys always sound great... thank you NPR
