According to this Billboard article, Wilco's going to release their first live CD "Kicking Television -- Live in Chicago" on November 1st. Here's the expected track list:
Disc one:
"Misunderstood"
"Company in My Back"
"The Late Greats"
"Hell Is Chrome"
"Handshake Drugs"
"I Am Trying To Break Your Heart"
"Shot in the Arm"
"At Least That's What You Said"
"Wishful Thinking"
"Jesus, Etc."
"I'm the Man Who Loves You"
"Kicking Television"
Disc two:
"Via Chicago"
"Hummingbird"
"Muzzle of Bees"
"One by One"
"Airline to Heaven"
"Radio Cure"
"Ashes of American Flags"
"Heavy Metal Drummer"
"Poor Places"
"Spiders (Kidsmoke)"
"Comment"
While I'm sure this is going to be a great CD and looks like their recent work is well-represented, I'm more than a bit disappointed that Jeff Tweedy and the boys seem to be turning their back on their earlier works. If the track list is accurate, that's only one song ("Misunderstood") from the first two CDs. To be sure, the band has gotten much tighter and more accomplished musically with the personnel changes over the years, but there was a time when their early shows had an energy that was nearly on par with the likes of early Replacements or Springsteen shows.
