and discovered what I thought might be the case for some
time now: I appreciate Wilco about 50% more hearing
them live vs. their studio albums. Which has vaulted
Wilco from a band I generally enjoyed and certainly respected
to one that I am actively highly ecstatic about. I have
seen the light. Not planning on taking a road trip to
Calgary to see them this summer, but the time will come.
At any rate, without blathering about the nuances of why
I like the sound of their live stuff so much more, I will
simply highly recommend the band's new live release,
Kicking Television. 4.5 Stars out of 5. Certainly, from a
sound recording and engineering perspective, some one..
people.. did a really good job with this one. So do what
you will. I say, run out and buy it this afternoon.
Instant gratification. Makes the world go round.
Apologies to Ben Tevelin. You were right.
