God this band is so great. Tweedy just a great song writer. Damn

How did so many great musicians come together to form this band... amazing..

What a performance!

nels....... just... wow! live. wow....

This is great. I've never heard this song live. Thanks for posting.

jeff tweedy is my fucking HERO! jeff, you're the neil young of our generation! I hope you take this in the complimentary spirit it was intended. :)

at LEAST 6'3" I got to see em at a tiny little theater in grand jct co. a few years back. 6th row center and they were ALL bigger than life. : )

one of their best

This is the best Wilco song

True comment on life! I am not a musician but they guitar and piano work really together in this song.

i am in love with this song

I love him too - he is AWESOME! The whole band is great :)

nels is playin a jaguar! seen em twice and NEVER seen a guitar player like nels before! LOVE him. COME BACK TO THE AVALON IN GRAND JCT!!!! it was as goood for us as it was for you guys and we KNOW we got you off that night. ; ) PUHHHH-leeeeease!

I'm an ocean all in motion

it all sounds best to me!

Muy buen directo man!

@MrNelsonWilbury Thank god for jazz influened drummers being in an art-house pop band.

“A professorship of Theology should have no place in our institution" Thomas Jefferson

I see that some folks are rocking out, while showing their love for the lyrics, "cherry ghost." Just for the record, though he's not annunciating very well, Tweedy is singing the words "CHEERY ghost." It is worth noting, however, that the band made a fantastic Pac Man T-shirt with a cherry-colored ghost (which I proudly own) because they have a good sense of humor about how many people have mixed up the words.

Cute :) I use that line as a signature on some boards - I am actually a Cherry Ghost :)

Inexplicável.

I worship this song 😉 I like to explain my atheism by saying, Theologians don't know nothing about my soul.

最高！

This. You do not need a religious belief to act morally. Loose Fur has a good song called 'The Ruling Class'. Highly recommended song. The music kicks ass!

I know this is random, but I love the color of Jeff's guitar.

Like if Bowie had a backing band composed entirely of Wilco and if his name was actually Jeff Tweedy and if Bowie wasn't involved at all?

@JEdgarGroover Its not P90s, Its the Jazzmaster pickup. Similar, but less midrange. Very tasty

always had a soft spot for a blue SG :)

02:47 ; Cherry Ghost - anyone heard em? search up "we sleep on stones" by Cherry Ghost. Made it reasonably big in the UK about 2 years ago, briefly. They named themselves after that lyric. Sound fuck all like them, but a most excellenbt band none-the-less.

@Family4china no. actually theologians *think* about God. nobody needs to be a theologian to know about their own soul. one could argue that it's epistemologically impossible to 'know' anyone's soul but one's own... besides which - this is one FUCKN GR8 song!!

@keeton You and me both.

Religion is for people who want to go heaven,I've fought demons most of Life and was saved by a Higher Power 41/2 yrs. Ago.......l identify with the song... I consider myself Spiritual because I've been to hell and back.no man in cloth tells me how to run my life.l turn over my life and will to the "Holiest of Trinities" every morning, or I'm dead.

@rowley103 fender. looks like the thurston moore sig jazzmaster.

This isn't on the version of this documentary I have. Why not?

it was...

Agree! Anyone know what height he is? He is impressive in every way :)

2:31 Nels rubber bottle stop.

I just realized that piano intro is the same as 'Cheers'. oh well

And Jeff has the cutest mouth :)

now THAT was funny. :)

@liljgoneman neils is not playing a jaguar. nels is playing a jazzmaster. he pretty much always plays a jazzmaster. a jaguar has similar electronics but single coil pickups like a strat. jazzmasters have the soapbar p90s. note how the pickups look like big ol' bars o soap. ergo, jazzmaster.

When man gets in the way..everything goes haywire...thats why for me my day to day sobriety l choose a 1 on 1 relationship n friendship with Highest of all Powers... God!!!!! NO BROKERS..... Amen

@bananastan714 Tell them to read some Joseph Campbell.

a relationship with the Living God. He took our place. I just tell you this out of concern. Please dont wait to invite Him in your heart today. Peace.

Suena a Daltrey...

@MrNelsonWilbury I hate when incredible parts of a song are so short :(

Being a dude, that's WAY down my list of stuff to admire about jeffro.... : ) although he does look a little like my cousin jeff...

Oh well then, I guess you weren't that impressed by the "bare tummy" scene near the beginning of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart"....... :)

@cassidybates Nah! thats the genuis part about it, they surprise... If the heavy part would continue it would lose it's force

XD

This song sounds very Bowie to me.

Jesus loves everyone...He is real and one day "every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord"...best to do it now, so your place in heaven will be eternally secure...if you wait till you meet your maker, it will be too late...His words will be "depart from me, you workers of iniquity, i never knew you." Please understand that I have tried other religions and they have all failed me because they are all man's methodology to get to heaven...Christianity is not a religion, but...

Abevs, even the esteemed Jefferson was a mere man and has found his place in eternity if He did not ask Jesus in his heart to become his Lord and Saviour. I don't understand why you quote one man as if to say that his thoughts are to be put on a higher plane(?). He was mere flesh and blood. concerning his actual comment I would say: One cannot compartmentalize their beliefs from their vocation or other aspects of their life, for they are all so interwoven". Peace. Jesus loves you.

Iffy performance, but this is a great song.

Not really, not for those who don't choose that sort of religious path, or have the same religious views as you. So not everyone needs Jesus to forgive their sins. I do good things not in fear of being punished by my own god, but for the reason because it is the right thing to do, its an issue of respect for me. I just enjoy the music man.

2 people don't know nothin!

This is a great song for the most part...but...I don't know...religion doesn't seem like a deep enough topic for Jeff to sing about.

Weird stuff

ah, Theologians DO know something about every mans soul...that being, that everyone needs Jesus to forgive their sins...nuff said. later. peace and all those other hippie words, man.

i am in love with this song
