Hear it Now
View Many of the new wrinkles are incidental -- a ripping guitar solo on "The Late Greats," an amped-up Crazy Horse-turned-arena-rock groove on "Heavy Metal Drummer," an audience singalong on "A Shot in the Arm." But when Tweedy's tunes hide their heads in their hoodies, his band picks up the slack: The noise-squall intro and scorched-earth drones in "Wishful Thinking" are way cooler here than on the studio version, and on "Spiders (Kidsmoke)," Wilco augment a kraut-rock beat with keyboards and feedback howls, working up a hard-jamming racket. Even better, they enliven and lush-up some dusty oldies, including the angst-ridden anthem "Misunderstood" and two countrified cuts from the terrific Billy Bragg collabo Mermaid Avenue.

This overtly broad 2 disc live Wilco experience touches on some elder Wilco gold and concentrates heavily on thier 2002 masterpiece, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Where Jeff Tweedy Inc. get adventurous with textures being more alt than country is where this gets interesting, but that's only a small margin of either disc. Beginners be warned, buy Foxtrot and Being There first.
