    Another Plug for Wilco

    I enjoy the recorded music, but this band really takes on a new dimension live. I normally wouldnt see a band outside of a club for almost any reason except overwhelming nostalgia (hello Police), but Wilco can drag me out to Merriweather Post Pavillion in Maryland when they play, and I always leave completely satisfied. Alot of the stuff that comes across as subdued on their studio records takes on a much bigger quality when the band plays live. Of course, I would still rather see them at the 9:30 club, but you will get your money's worth even at a larger venue.
