Wilco at the Orpheum Theater

From "I am only trying to break your heart" all the way through "Reservations", the CD literally stayed in my cd player for nearly 6 months. It is and will always be my "Abbey Road". From that point on I feverishly scrubbed back and forth through their discography as if I was one of those DEA dogs searching for loot. I wanted to inhale it all. </p>
