Saw them here in Eugene, OR a few months ago and they were fantastic. Sky Blue Sky gets a good play every now and then. Tweedy is a modern pop writing genius. Kline consistently steps outside the traditional guitarist role.
Wilco /Newport Folk Festival
Wilco are an American treasure!! This band seems to be getting better,stronger and tighter as the band moves forward. Listen to Nels Cline play the freakin guitar! He is a genius. His licks are beyond lighning fast. Nels' improvisations are always creative and astounding.
The last Wilco show that I saw was a couple of years ago in a small theater called the Carnegie Theater in Pittsbugh. Three hours straight, of amazing music!!
If you a fan you should check out Wilco's last show from the Newport Festival found on NPR's concert series. The sound quality is awesome, as is the show!! Here is the link :

If you enjoy Amercana and Alt.Country you should listen to the two tribute albums to Woody Gutherie featuring his lost lyrics,that were interpreted by Wilco teaming up with Billy Bragg.The albums are titled: Mermaid Avenue Vol. 1 and 2. They are both gems!!
If you are interested in exploring Wilco's studio albums, I highly recommend Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Summer Teeth, Sky Blue Sky,A Ghost is Born, among others.
