I had the pleasure of seeing Wilco last night play the first of a four night run at The Vic Theatre in Chicago. They are filming the shows for an upcoming live DVD/CD to be released in Fall 2005.

Friday, April 16th, 2004

Greg Kot’s upcoming book, “Wilco: Learning How To Die”, sounds like it’s going to be a very interesting read…
