i'm 14 and just started getting into uncle tupelo. it's cool when i recognize songs that my dad used to blast in the car when i was a kid. he's a musician himself and went to high school with jeff. he's always kicking himself for never jamming with him or anything. haha
I was AT this show!!! They were the first "Over 21" show I saw after my B-day the year before in 91. My buddy's band were opening for them, never heard of them, and was SO blown away!!
I would be so stoked for an Uncle Tupelo reunion right about now. Wilco and Son Volt seem to be running out of steam, and that could be a great shot in the arm...
I've seen Jay Farrar solo 4 times here in Omaha.....Jeff Tweedy several times solo both here in Omaha and Lincoln. The last solo here in Omaha his son played drums. Too many times to count seeing Wilco. Son Volt 's only been here once. I had to work and missed it.
It was a liquid time, but I saw Uncle Tupelo twice in Bloomington during these times. I'm pretty sure this is at The Bluebird as the second time I saw them was at Jakes and that was on the Anodyne tour and they were playing live as a four piece. The opening band was Dada on that tour.
You must be kidding! Wilco's one of the most written about bands in America, and Son Volt just made their best record in years. I'd love to see reunion too, but Jay and Jeff are doing just fine.
This is great - one of my top 5 bands EVER. Had the pleasure of seeing them three times live, though the last two were on Anodyne tour where it was obvious they were about to bust up. Three piece era was the best.
I attended there final concert, may 2nd, '94 (I think) at the late, great mississippi nights. I sat at the side, stage left...perfect seats. In there second to last song, Heidhorn took over the drums, for the first time since he left. With only Farrar and Tweedy remaining on stage, Mike clicked his drumsticks twice and they kicked into 'Lookin' for a way out'.,,when F and T hit that harmony in the third verse, 'lookin' for a waaay out'...you had to be there I guess.
I remember some interview with Tweedy, and he remarked that if the tried to play those songs today he didn't know if they were physically capable of it. LOL
This looks like the Bluebird ....can anyone confirm? ....I saw many a great shows there, but this wasn't one of them...I wouldn't be there for another 10 years!
Really, why argue about that? When neither Son Volt or Wilco can hold a candle to this. Farrar and Tweedy have peaked. The first Son Volt album is fuckin' crazy good, and the first Wilco lp is rad. Bothof their second records are good. After that they both got lost, or forgot, or were bored with what they did best. But here, Sweet Jesus! UT are as killer as anyone ever... so what more can you ask of someone?
unfortunatly the reason these guys broke up, ego, is the same reason we probably won't see them back together. but who knows, if van halen and david lee roth can do it i guess anybody can
haha very astute - they don't rip em off, but they sometimes come close, most of all on this song. and yeah, this totally looks like a late 80s Mats video. And Wilco is good, but Uncle Tupelo is definitely my favorite. Seems like there's countless examples of ex-members from really good bands forming slightly wimped-out new bands, then achieving like double their previous success.
tweety is obviously a great songwriter, but he's really underrated as a bass player. some of the bassline in UT songs are super melodic and all over the place. kinda like an alt-country McCartney?
who is better? that answer is extremely subjective. Uncle Tupelo was a great roots rock/alt country band that bore two of the great midwestern songwriters. As for saying that the yankee HF was shit, many musical critics would beg to differ. YHF is a guiding light in the cloudy indie rock scene that was the early 2000's, Farrar's "Trace" is one of the definitive roots rock records. I don't even see how you can begin to compare them without bringing your own predispositions into your judgement
buddy...I know from where you come. But if the music scene twas IT...there would NOTHING....because the music scene is pretty lame. I grew up in small town Indy and went to IU............so...well...wht the fuck am I arguing about?
I don't know of any "musitians" in existence. Oh, wait, did you mean MUSICIAN? Sorry, it's hard to understand you when you butcher the spellings of simple words.

jeez you're almost 30 now.
My favorite Tupe song.

My first over 21 show was Son Volt at the Bluebird... wish I had been able to see UT.
you rule
RIP UT. Thanks for Posting. I live in Indiana, so sad that in 1992 I was so clueless about Uncle Tupelo.
Ahh... I remember this show. Playing Jeff at the The Simpsons Pin Ball Machine before the show at Jake's.
I would be so stoked for an Uncle Tupelo reunion right about now. Wilco and Son Volt seem to be running out of steam, and that could be a great shot in the arm...
Wasn't at this show... But I love Bloomington and this track. 👍👍
Heidorn's such a badass on those skins. They're so tight!
hey jesse trent. that's me, bill belzer, on the drums.
This gives me chills thinking about the early 90's in Columbia, spending every penny I had at the Blue Note. Thanks for the post!!!

True musicians/artists, one of the best. Awesome, thanks for posting
This is awesome. Amazing to hear this live.
Outrageously awesome. Thanks for uploading.

this is ooooold school.
outstanding.
Great! Thanks for posting!

amen seeing him live is even more amazing than listening to his cd's
so fucking awesome. cool that it was filmed here in B-ton.
I was a little young to have seen them play...but I did see Son Volt at both Jake's and the Bluebird.
Was at this show!!
This video is PURE GOLD. Thanks for uploading it!
Son Volt and Wilco are BOTH great bands. Why do UT fans always have to be divided?
Because Tweedy is an insufferable ass
@@whiteyfisk9769 sounds like you're describing yourself
@@nolan83 No, but i was describing a sexual encounter with your mom
Now there's a reunion tour that'd be fucking epic.
Heidorn's such a badass on those skins. They're so tight!
great¡
literally made the hair on my neck stand up
Yeah, I put my foot in my mouth on that one. There are some great tracks on Being There.
Sounds totally 90's alternative. God, what a great band. Too bad.
@sthodson pretty sure this one was at jakes. I think UT played there several times over the years
This looks like the Bluebird ....can anyone confirm? ....I saw many a great shows there, but this wasn't one of them...I wouldn't be there for another 10 years!

but who knows, if van halen and david lee roth can do it i guess anybody can
You think so?
I wonder if the "Last Waltz" influenced Jeff's bass choice.
you got any more from this show?

I think that's Bill Belzer on drums. It's not a very clear view, though.
jeff misses the lyric...but makes it even better
0:53 tweedy messes up the lyrics to his own song :-)
he was drinking as much as we were...maybe
ha tweedy definitely aged really well, he looks a lot better in his 30s imo
tweety is obviously a great songwriter, but he's really underrated as a bass player.
some of the bassline in UT songs are super melodic and all over the place. kinda like an alt-country McCartney?
running out of steam, or just evolving?

I suppose... but I still think a Sonny and Cher reunion is more likely.
Fight the good fight.
I'm surprised that you wouldn't like Trace. To each his own. I've never liked Wilco even with Nels Cline.
wrong.
i'd rather see jeff tweedy reconcile with jay bennett
Son Volt and Wilco blow compared to this. OK, Son Volt not so much early on.
buddy...I know from where you come. But if the music scene twas IT...there would NOTHING....because the music scene is pretty lame. I grew up in small town Indy and went to IU............so...well...wht the fuck am I arguing about?
um... never. nice wishful thinking though.
Sonny is dead.
