Last time they hit New York back in '04, with a couple of solo Tweedy shows thrown in along the way - so it's been awhile since they've played The Big Apple and I'm extremelly excited to see them again despite the fact they're playing the Hammer.

Also if you pre-order the new album you'll get some nifty extras....

Every album pre-order will get a free video download (compatible with iTunes, iPods, or playable in Quicktime on your computer) of Wilco performing a track from Sky Blue Sky at their loft. The video will be available for download within the next few weeks and we will notify you when it is ready.

We are giving away 7 different prizes (one per week) between now and the release date. Pre-Ordering early gives you the best chance of winning, as you'll be re-entered in the drawings each week (unless you win). Here's what you can win....

  • One (1) Winner will get the entire Wilco back catalogue on cd (including a signed copy of Sky Blue Sky)
  • One (1) Winner will get the latest from each side project on cd/dvd: The Autumn Defense, Glenn Kotche's Mobile, The Nels Cline Singers' the giant pin, Loose Fur's Born Again In The USA, Jeff Tweedy's Sunken Treasure
  • One (1) Winner will get the Wilco vinyl back catalogue (includes out of print Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, and a signed copy of Sky Blue Sky)
  • One (1) Winner will receive the complete poster set from 2007
  • One (1) Winner will get 2 VIP tickets (includes 2 great seats, 1 post and 2 shirts at the show) to any 2007 Wilco show. Transportation to and from the show is on you.
  • One (1) Winner will get a free iPod shuffle with Sky Blue Sky album on it
  • One (1) Winner will get a signed film proof of the cover art

Wasn't the NYE show with the Flaming Lips more recent than that? They all sort of blend together the last several years.

It was NYE '04, they did two shows at Radio City and then played the MSG gig - so yeah it's been awhile.
