There’s not much in the way of video from Wilco’s recently completed “Incredible Shrinking Tour” of Chicago available on YouTube thanks in part to the group’s campaign against the use of cell phones during their performances. Thankfully Chicago radio station WXRT was on hand to professionally record the fourth of the five shows that made up the run, which took place at Metro on December 16. So far XRT has released one clip from the Metro gig – the show-opening version of Sunken Treasure…

Wilco – Sunken Treasure (Live at Metro)

XRT has also shared footage of Hell Is Chrome from The Vic…

As well as One Sunday Morning from the Civic Opera House…

Let’s hope there’s more where these came from.
