Wilco mined their archives to release a new 24-track compilation to streaming services. The Wilco Live (Orange) collection features soundboard live recordings spanning 2012 to 2024.
While recordings have been part of recent deluxe editions and box sets, Wilco’s sole official live album is Kicking Television, which was recorded in 2005 during a string of shows at The Vic Theatre in Chicago. The newly shared “first edition of Wilco’s ‘Live’ playlist” captures the band performing across the United States and at international events in Mexico, Australia and Iceland.
The tracklist consists of songs from throughout Wilco’s catalog, including 2019 recordings of “Casino Queen” and “Box Full Of Letters,” from the band’s 1995 debut album, A.M., as well as “Meant To Be” and the title track from their most recent studio effort, 2023’s Cousin.
The live compilation features the longstanding Wilco lineup of frontman/guitarist Jeff Tweedy, bassist John Stirratt, drummer Glenn Kotche, multi-instrumentalist , keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen and guitarist Nels Cline who shine with a typically ferocious “Impossible Germany” solo.
