There are so many Wilco videos of various quality at YouTube that it’s hard to sort through the schwag to find the glorious gems. We’ve asked our resident Wilco expert Luke Sacks to share his favorite Wilco vids with the rest of the class.

5. Remember the Mountain Bed with Andrew Bird - 2/18/08

Andrew Bird joins the band on stage at the Riv and infuses a class Mermaid Avenue song with some elegant violin.

4. California Stars

From the now defunct Sessions on W. 54th and featuring the old old old Wilco lineup with Jay Bennett and Ken Coomer. Bennett, as much as he looks like Drexel from True Romance, deserves at least one mention on this list. Bennett may have been an asshole but he was a key part of Wilco for a long time. He twangs it up a bit on this version.

3. Impossible Germany

Glenn Kotche speaks prior to a great performance of the most “jam-friendly” song off Sky Blue Sky. Tweedy comments afterwards on writing the song. Superb quality on the audio and video.

2. What Light

Shot in either the Wilco loft or someone’s garage, this video is so clean, it could be shown on MTV…If MTV still played videos or music.

1. Tweedy decks fan - 10/17/2006

This is the stuff of legend…A fan at the band’s Springfield, Missouri show jumps on stage at around the 1:15 mark of this video…and the normally subdued Jeff Tweedy just decks him.
