OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Wilco, "War on War" (Live on Letterman)

Andrew explains:


"I like this live version because the intro is a little longer than straight off the album.  The rhythm, especially in the beginning sounds so rich, and you get a really get into the chord progression once the bass kicks in.  You can feel everything starting to come together right away and then Tweedy breaks straight into 'it's a war on war.....'  The intro is great because you can really get a sense of the layers that Wilco builds into a lot of their music: the rich amped acoustic guitars, the oft-goofy keyboards, a dry, vaguely raspy Tweedy, and an extended jam-sessiony outro...definitely on my list of bands to see live [haven't yet :(]."


Enjoy!
