Wilco has released a new book, The Incredible Shrinking Tour Of Chicago.
The book is free and available now exclusively on Apple’s iBookstore for iPad at www.iTunes.com/iBookstore.
It documents the band’s five concerts from December 2011 in their native Chicago, with live photography, reproduction poster art and set lists.
It’s accompanied by videos of two live performances captured backstage at those December shows, one featuring Wilco, Mavis Staples and Nick Lowe rehearsing The Band’s “The Weight” and another featuring Wilco and Staples rehearsing “You Are Not Alone”.
