Wilco's excellent return-to-form album, The Whole Love, is finally being released next week—but like us, you've probably already heard a stream of texture-rich album (and if not, it's streaming in its entirety on NPR). The band, who is playing Central Park tonight and tomorrow, made their way to the Late Show with David Letterman last night, and performed a 60+ minute show for web broadcast. You can watch the whole thing below (setlist after the jump), including standout takes on spiky new single "I Might," the jaunty lovelorn "Whole Love," and the two-part "Art Of Almost," which climaxes in a blistering guitar frenzy.
Setlist:
Art of Almost
I Might
I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
One Wing
Born Alone
Whole Love
Handshake Drugs
Jesus, etc...
Impossible Germany
Dawned on Me
War on War
Shot in the Arm
