The so called “crystal clear” live tracklist is the actual studio recorded album. Tweedy wanted a “live” sound, so people got confused thinking there was no way this was the final mix of the album, especially after YHF’s studio sparkle, but it is. It had been out on the intranut for a month at least before Wilco put it on their own site, only no one had the final track “Late Greats”.

“Hey guys, this alt-country thing isn’t really working out so well, and my rhyming dictionary lyrics are kind of sucking. Maybe we should try a new quasi-artsy, kind of ‘classic rock’ sound? I’ll kind of make the new lyrics pretty ‘cryptic,’ and a little ‘weird,’ and we’ll sound a lot ‘deeper’ and more ‘intellectual.’ Let’s give it a go, eh?”

-Jeff Tweedy, former member of Uncle Tupelo (god’s chosen band), overheard after a couple of failed “rock out” alt-country-rock records that sucked.

lol.

Ryno, you are a goddamn fool with this hatin’. Hold on tight to whatever you’ve built up in yer head with this “anti-Wilco” shit, you fart. It means zilch.

The rest of us laugh. You are missing out on some amazing shit.

Coheed and Cambria? Yeah, there you go, farty.
