Wilco - Country Disappeared (A Takeaway Show)
Just brilliant. Gonna listen to Wilco for the rest of the day.

Wilco, the band whose tours never stop in Paris. I bought a ticket right away; a good idea, as the concert sold out in weeks. And then I asked around. What if we tried to film them? The answer was unanimous and enthusiastic. I sent out an email, without really believing it would come to anything. The next morning, their publicist called.
