A live album of historic proportions. The band transforms their songs, maing the most of new members Nels Cline and Pat Sansone and Glenn Kotche's powerful drumming to set the always heavily studio-driven Wilco sound soaring.Took a few listens to get past the relatively unvarnished sound quality.

A great live album by a great band. Nels Cline is a great addition, and this really shows the bands strengths, and highlights JT's excellent songwriting.

Best live rock album since "Waiting for Columbus" or the like. Stands up to many repeated listenings, and some tracks are really incredible. For Wilco fans, reveals more depth to many songs that probably were not favorites (e.g., Airline to Heaven; Wishful Thinking). Non-Wilco fans who have heard it also express admiration. Tweedy's vocals are sometimes a bit weak, but the overall musicianship of the band and the strength and originality of the songs (with the exception of the last track) make this a classic.
Michael K gave it a9:
Despite the fact that most of the songs are on other Wilco albums, it most often sounds like something completely new. Listening to this album makes me very envious of the people who were at the gigs. Terrific!
Travis B gave it a9:
one of the best live albums I have ever heard. some of the versions of the songs are better than the originals like spiders and ashes of american flags. truly captures the essence of Wilco
James M gave it a4:
this is about as fun as listening to phish, i.e., not very.
