The point in a show when your favorite band starts playing a tranche of new materialparticularly experimental new materialis usually a good opportunity to visit the restroom, preferably one in a different county. So its a testament to the quality of Wilcos recent records that, while they provide a hefty portion of these two CDs, Kicking Television still sounds like a greatest hits setalbeit one in which the hits have been augmented by the alternately elegant and shred-heavy guitar-playing of new member Nels Cline. Among the older material, Wilco feature a barnstorming take on Misunderstood, the kind of bitter, slow-burning howl that few but Jeff Tweedy would ever write, and probably only he would consider a suitable opener for a live album. Its the ultimate anti-Hello Chicago! DOWNLOAD: Misunderstood, Handshake Drugs Via Chicago
