Wilco's "Incredible Shrinking Tour" Now Streaming



Indie all-stars Wilco went on a mini-tour of their home city, calling it the "Incredible Shrinking Tour of Chicago". They played five shows at five different venues in five consecutive nights. This "Shrinking Tour" was meant to be a warm-up for the West Coast / European Tour Dates the band has slated for early 2012. The first show, Dec. 12th at Chicago's Civic Opera House, was recorded, and is now available streaming on the band's website. The 27 song set features a few covers, including one of the Band's hit "The Weight", as well as special guest appearances from legendary singer / songwriter Nick Lowe ( "(What's So Funny About) Peace, Love, and Understanding"), and hometown hero / renowned r&b singer Mavis Staples.
