Wilco, Fleet Foxes cover “I Shall Be Released”
September 2nd, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in NewsWilco’s Jeff Tweedy takes lead vocals and the harmonious Fleet Foxes boys join in on the chorus for this gorgeous reading of the Bob Dylan-penned, Band classic “I Shall Be Released,” which was performed on stage, Aug. 21, in Spokane, Wash. (thanks Pitchfork). For the final verse, Tweedy might have pushed himself too far in attempting Richard Manuel’s richly distinctive falsetto. It’s a sweet gesture, though, one done out of respect, judging by Tweedy’s humble expression.

nice, hadn’t seen this one.. I’m sure you know, Wilco often closes with I Shall Be Released
btw, My Morning Jacket was excellent and the House of Blues still sucks..
