Ashes of American Flags

Photobucket


Wilco's new live DVD Ashes of American Flags is due out April 18th (in celebration of Record Store Day) exclusively at independent retailers. The DVD covers five nights of concert footage from 2008 (unfortunately, not their five night stint at the Riv), including the Mobile Civic Center in Mobile, the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., Tipitina's in New Orleans, and Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa. The doc was shot in high-def and directed by Christoph Green and Brandan Canty (of Fugazi).

Check out the trailer now available here.
