I received a truly fantastic DVD this week:

If you're at least halfways a Wilco fan, BUY IT NOW! It's just fantastic. On the two times I've seen them, and particularly the last one, Oct last year at the lovely Roundhouse, I just thought 'ah, now I see why they have the live reputation they do', and on this DVD it's captured there. It's from the Sky Blue Sky tour, which means, yes, 'Impossible Germany' is on it, and the camera stays on Nels for the entire solo, which is just perfect. The whole thing demonstrates how their current 6-man line-up is just perfect, each one playing his part and contributing something unique, and how well gelled together they sound (which the Whole Love captures perfectly too. And of course I just can't take my eyes off Glenn Kotche throughout, the most physical, involved, full-on and mesmerising drummer I know. the scene of him practising on the tour bus is perfect.
Amazing that Wilco had one of the best ever 'making an album' films made about them, and then followed it with one of the best 'on tour' films.
