I have seen Wilco three times in the last year. I had never seen them before last summer. I really believe that Wilco has gone the way of the veteran band who has 'mastered' the art of the concert. Jeff Tweedy has one of the most stunning 'live' voices out there, and Nels Cline is sure to get anyone's attention with his explosive/avante-garde stylings. Throw in some exquisite playing from drummer Kotche, and superb backing from Pat Sansone and John Stirratt (and that other guy) and you get six guys who look like absolute naturals on stage. But please, don't take my word for it, listen to the show.
Also, a DVD all Wilco fans need to check out is Jeff Tweedy's "Sunken Treasure." It is a concert DVD/touring diary of Jeff Tweedy's solo gigs. Check it out.

Dear Dood,
Your blog reads like a review that I could read in Paste/Rolling Stone/any other Wilco-loving rag. "Dont forget to check out all of Mr. Tweedy's GREAT MERCHANDISE!" Except I'm not reading those rags. I'm reading your blog. Come on "this writer included," what do YOU think about Wilco? Also, is this particular Wilco show availible for download online somewhere or am i just not getting it? Or am i just really drunk? Or both? We'll let the readers decide...
You are really drunk. To listen to the show, click on the link on the word 'show' in the article. Why are you drunk at 5:45AM on a Monday?
