Wilco and Fleet Foxes live in Spokane :: "I Shall Be Released" (Dylan cover)



Knowing how excited the Fleet Foxes were to be touring with Wilco, I smile to watch them stand all crowded around one microphone in this video, shuffling their weight back and forth in what seems like "still flabbergasted" anticipation. Taken 8/21/08 at the Opera House in Spokane, this Dylan cover is just lovely, especially when Tweedy breaks into hearty and unabashed falsetto around the 2 minute mark.

And hey, remember what my absolute favorite favorite cover of this song is? Yeah.

[thanks once again, Cusa!]

    Nice find Heather. That is the hairiest bunch of backup singers since the muppets.

    The whole clip has a real 1970's feel to it.
