I was at this taping, 3rd row, the summer of 2007 while in Austin for ACL. Hearing this material, live, in this context, ultimately contributed to my naming Sky Blue Sky as my favorite LP of 2007. A call I very much stand by two years later. If you are only going to listen to one song from this set, make it “Via Chicago.” You’ll thank me later.

Excellent! Thanks for posting this. Keeping my fingers crossed that Wilco play SF this summer.
1 | Jonathan March 31st, 2009 at 11:46 pmI could not agree more. Put a gun to my head. I absolutely cannot agree more. Impossible (Germany).
2 | JFK April 1st, 2009 at 10:49 ami’ve still got this episode on my dvr and watch it on occasion. thanks for posting!
3 | theMike April 1st, 2009 at 10:58 am@theMike – I’ve kept this on my DVR as well.
I can’t say I’m as big of a fan of Sky Blue Sky as the Drunkard, and much preferred the A Ghost Is Born ACL taping. That being said, love this audio & thanks! “Too Far Apart” is my favorite.
4 | uwmryan April 1st, 2009 at 11:47 amGrooviness. Thanks!
5 | Lance April 1st, 2009 at 12:09 pmWhat’s incredible is how damn rock and roll Wilco’s old stuff (Too Far Apart) has been in the live shows the past few years. I heard Casino Queen at the ACL festival in 2007 and it melted my face off the bones.
6 | Nick Rallo April 1st, 2009 at 1:25 pmi am visible in this taping twice. once giving the really lame satanic rock hand gesture (i panic-ed!) and once just woohooing in general. right behind the camera in front of nils. blue striped polo shirt.
the only “downside”to wilco’s live show is the lack of rotation in the setlist. the ACL show featured ONE SONG they didn’t play in dallas the night prior. they played all the songs in chicago, clearly they know how!
7 | jon April 1st, 2009 at 2:47 pmI do like “Via Chicago” but I absolutely love “Impossible Germany.” Every time I hear that guitar, especially the solo, I have to sit back and listen. There’s something about that song that pulls me in each and every time I listen to it. Thanks a ton for sharing this recording.
8 | Honest Abe April 1st, 2009 at 7:24 pmBest. Blog. Ever.
9 | Skot Nelson April 1st, 2009 at 8:55 pmThere’s no doubt that SBS has inordinately more weight once you hear the tunes live.
10 | Hippies Are Dead April 1st, 2009 at 9:20 pmWonderful show, thanks for sharing.
11 | Sam April 3rd, 2009 at 6:42 amWish Wilco would have more dates lined up for Europe this spring, it’s been two years since I last saw them.
awesome, can’t wait for Ashes and WiLco @ JaZzFeSt Via NoLa
12 | Pop Quiz Kid April 3rd, 2009 at 3:27 pm@ themike & uwmryan, I too had this on my DVR until the hard drive crashed recently. The Via Chicago is beautiful! I wish I could find/buy a copy of the entire show.
13 | dunn April 9th, 2009 at 12:33 amI AGREE!! I have the ghost is born ACL on video… Does ANYONE please know how I can get a copy of this ACL show?!!?

I love A.M., it’s straightforward rock n roll, and the songs are so great! None of the 10 minutes of feedback bull. I’m glad they are going back to their early stuff, A.M. is a classic: http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-13613-New-Classics-Examiner~y2009m6d23-Wilcos-first-album-and-the-flaw-of-the-110-rating-system
