I saw Uncle Tupelo play live once and was disappointed. Farrar and Tweedy seemed desperate to outdo each other and much of the set was a noisy mess. Not long after they went their separate ways.For all the melody and rich structure that Tweedy brought to Wilco my heart has always been drawn towards the Son Volt boys. Patchy, inconsistent and, at times far too introspective for their own good they may be. But when they can produce songs like this you can forgive them anything.
Walking down Main Street,
Getting to know the concrete
Looking for a purpose
From a neon sign
Can you deny there's nothing greater...
Listen: Tear Stained Eye - Son Volt

I agree that Son Volt is way superior to the famous Wilco. And Tear Stained Eye is a great song indeed. You were unlucky with Tupelo live though. Pretty good when I saw them...
Cheers!
