Free Music Notes for Kicking Television: Live in Chicago
Free Music Review: Okay album, but the closing track must be a joke...
Hit: 3 Stars
I like Wilco - I have most of their earlier stuff, have seen them in concert many times. I like this album, though it's a pretty standard live recording - kind of a snapshot of their stage show of that time. I've just gotta say this, though: the last track, "Comment," is unlistenable. A lousy, preachy song that is completely wrong for Jeff Tweedy's voice, which is an acquired taste to begin with. They must have included it as a joke. When I play the album, I have to jump up and eject it as that last song comes on, or I'm afraid I'll have a seizure, or my eardrums will explode, or the earth will start spinning in the wrong direction...
If you want a truly great album that sounds as close to live as you'll ever get in a studio recording, buy "Being There." Loose, raw, spirited. I saw them perform about three days after that album came out, and it was one of the very best concerts I have attended in thirty years. Jay Bennett, RIP, pushed that band to its best heights.
Kicking Television: Live in Chicago Poster
Kicking Television-Live in Chicago, recorded over four nights in May at The Vic Theatre. "It's really the best it's ever felt," said Jeff Tweedy to the Detroit Free Press earlier this year. "I would say at this point, I don't think I've ever been in a band that's felt this connected and unified with this collective vision." To document that collective vision that band called upon veteran mixing engineer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, Johnny Cash) to capture the energy, excitement, clarity and musicality that has earned Wilco continued praise for their live shows around the world.Recorded over four-nights in front of a sold-out hometown crowd at Chicago's historic Vic Theatre in 2005, Kicking Television: Live In Chicago is the first official live release from Wilco. It's remarkable to think that a band so well known for for its richly varied, inspiring live sets waited so long to get one these things out. At the same time, it's a little foreign hearing songs that once felt like personal treasures, plus a set-closing cover of Charles Wright's "Comment," handed over to the masses - the quietly disturbing "Misunderstood" is transformed into an audience sing-along, "Handshake Drugs" becomes a communal jig, and "Heavy Metal Drummer" a certifiable party anthem. Luckily, the whoops and clinking cocktail glasses can't take away from Jeff Tweedy's compelling laments or the band's full-throttle charge, particularly on a knuckle-gripping reworkings of "A Shot In The Arm" and "Ashes of American Flags." --Aidin Vaziri
