    here is the tracklist... I would have preferred a full show (like Okonakos) but here it is. A nice balanced setlist. I guess there is going to be extra bonus tracks also.

    1 Ashes of American Flags
    2 Side with the Seeds
    3 Handshake Drugs
    4 The Late Greats
    5 Kingpin
    6 Wishful Thinking
    7 Impossible Germany
    8 Via Chicago
    9 A Shot in the Arm
    10 Monday
    11 You Are My Face
    12 Heavy Metal Drummer
    13 War on War

    Yeah, but I am sure it will be good to watch anyway.
    I will buy it

    tweedy isn't the normal 'rock star' type.. he can be very quirky on stage. Can't wait for this DVD I really can't.. Glad they put Side With The Seeds on there I love that track. No AM but they rarely play AM tracks nowadays anyway.

    I hate to act all girly and stuff, but I think Jeff Tweedy is the most lovable frontman on the planet. He's so endearing.

    Has there been any word on when exactly the new albums supposed to be coming out? I vaguely remember hearing about them wanting to start their tour in April, shortly before the new album was coming out, but I can't find the source at all. Completely psyched for the new music.

    well they are playing shows in Spain, Portugal, Bonnaroo, New Orleans and Minnesota (somewhere in that region) but no mention of a new album yet.. I think around May/June it will be out. I hope they start playing new stuff in April.

    I think it will be out before the jazz fest and the spain/portugal dates
    also, look for some tour dates in the US before they head off to europe-not like them to do one offs
    wouldnt surprise me if they do letterman before spain to promote the DVD and the new record

    And the grand Golden Smog. I don't think you can get much better than Gary Louris and Jeff Tweedy combining their superpowers.

    The only better combination I can think of is Tweedy/Farrar (and Louris/Olson is pretty great of course).

    I love Gary's voice. So beautiful and unique.

    damn I hate where they are playing in athens and the asheville date is on a tuesday night which means hotel and taking a day and a half off from work.

    i might have to roll the dice and hope for an Atlanta date later this summer :?

    Wilco are road horses. They tour non-stop. I think they have now played all 50 states, as of this past summer.

    I don't think you can go wrong with any album of theirs, but here's a good guide:

    Alt-Country(still getting over Uncle Tupelo)
    1. AM
    2. Being There

    Coming to terms of alt-rock
    3. Summerteeth

    Flashes of Kraut-rock, experimentation, and very strong songwriting
    4. Yankee Foxtrot Hotel
    5. A Ghost Is Born

    Folk rock, Neil Young worshippers
    6. Sky Blue Sky

    Like I said there is strong material on all their albums. I can honestly say none of their albums make me turn my nose up.

    If you are more adventurous, I definitely recommend Glenn Kotche and Nels Cline's solo recordings. Of course, "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" is a must watch regardless if you are into the band or not.
