Wilco at Massey Hall

While TIFF made it impossible for me to be as thorough about WIlco's Massey Hall shows as I was in 2009, I did manage to catch most of night one. As always, Wilco's affably raucous live show elevated the material from sixteen-plus years of (remarkably consistent) albums. Even the band's now familiar tropes (Nels Cline's guitar freak-out on "Impossible Germany," the tentative fan singalong on "Jesus, Etc.") felt fresh and the new material proved worthy of the old. Below you'll see a video of "Born Alone," one of the stand-out tracks from Wilco's terrific new album, The Whole Love. -- JD
