I've been trying to get my hands on this DVD for a while now, and I finally found a copy today at A&B Sound for the bargain basement price of $19.99! It's a fantastic film. Easily one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen, right up there with Gimme Shelter, Don't Look Back, The Last Waltz, and Buena Vista Social Club. And not only do you get the film (with director's commentary), but you also get a second disc with over 70 minutes of additional footage and 17 extra songs. It's freakin' brilliant. As a Wilco fan, you couldn't ask for much more.
One can only hope that the upcoming Hip DVD will have this much stuff crammed onto it. Doubtful, I know, but a guy can dream, can't he?
Wilco has another DVD coming out later this year. It's not a documentary this time around - should include a concert or two. And they've streamed a couple of concerts at their website in the past year. They spoil their fans.
Leaning How To Die by Greg Kot is about Jeff Tweedy and his band's from his formative youth. Interesting read and a nice compliment to the documentary.

Agreed. I bought it just before Christmas and finished it within a week. It's a great read. My copy is currently making the rounds with my friends.

Somehow missed this thread the first time around. Anyway, I just got my dvd back from it making the rounds with friends and was able to watch it againfinally. Such a great dvd! I also go the book "Learning how to Die" for Christmas this year but haven't had a chance to read it yet.
Wilco keeps getting better abd better with every listen. Definitly one of the best bands out there these days.
