"the sound of people chasing money, & money getting away", classic line.

I can't believe so many people are talking while he's playing! Maybe b/c they played so often in IL. You don't know what ya got til it's gone.

are you serious, you obviously havent seen tweedy live or bothered to read his lyrics.

But, alas, not creatively... He's more emotional, as long as you're emotional about coal miners and drinking yourself to death... ; )

Look, I love Jay Farrar's music, and his voice, and his words. "Moonshiner" gives me chills too.

I also love Tweedy's work. The last Wilco show I saw reminded me that guitar rock can still be done right. Why must we always argue and compare? Let them have their individual creative space.

Like Guns n'Roses, UT didn't burn long, but it burned oh-so-brightly.

This is one of the greatest songs ever. "Whiskey bottle over Jesus. Not forever, just for now." Brilliant. That having been said, the CD version, with its modulations of atmosphere, is much better than this live version. Ultimate example of that high lonesome sound combined with rawkin' guitar.

thank you. thank you. I've tried to point that out countless times to people. Also his vocals are incredible... when I hear "Moonshiner", I still get chills - even after all these years
