Wilco surprised the crowd by inviting English R&B/glam rock star Ian Hunter onstage for his Mott The Hoople classic “I Wish I Was Your Mother.” Mastro, who owns a nearby guitar star in addition to his Hoboken music credits, also played mandolin on the tune. Both Hunter and Mastro remained onstage as Haynes returned for a take on “California Stars.” Then, Bingham and the members of My Morning Jacket joined Wilco and their guests on an all-star cover of David Bowie’s “All The Young Dudes.” (The song was made famous by Mott The Hoople). Wilco have covered “I Wish I Was Your Mother” in the past but have not performed the song since a 2001 stop at Chicago’s Abbey Pub.

I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why i must keep working on
Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why i must keep working on
Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I’d give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I’d give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars

All The Young Dudes
The finale to Wilco's set on July 26, 2013 at Pier A Park in Hoboken. Warren Haynes, My Morning Jacket, and Ryan Bingham joined Wilco and Ian Hunter and James Mastro on the Mott the Hoople classic, All the Young Dudes.Ian gets a mention in the NY Times.
"Yet Wilco also affirmed its rootsy side, with exquisitely down-home guest solos by Warren Haynes (from Gov’t Mule, the Allman Brothers and the Dead). For its finale, it brought on the rest of the opening acts to join Ian Hunter, of Mott the Hoople, in “All the Young Dudes,” the very 1970s, very English glam-rock anthem written by David Bowie: not Americana but Britainiana."
