Movie Reviews of Ashes of American Flags

Movie Review: Remarkable and Moving
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of my favorite concert DVD's, rivaling Clapton's CrossRoads DVD in production quality. The performances are both remarkable and moving, showcasing Wilco at a wonderful point in their career. The DVD has many of their best songs. Seeing the Ryman performance was really great. Nels Cline is an amazing guitarist. Some of the cuts have Wilco in a triple guitar attack. "Impossible Germany" soars. There is a very touching cameo where Tweedy's Dad joins Jeff at a concert and praises his son's efforts. While their studio albums are excellent, Wilco is best appreciated live. They are unquestionably one of the best bands around. Bravo!

Summary of Ashes of American Flags

Ashes of American Flags follows Wilco from Tulsa, Oklahoma (Cain's Ballroom) to Washington D.C. (9:30 Club) during its 2008 U.S. tour of ballrooms, clubs and concert halls, capturing the six-piece band, and three-man horn section, at such
hallowed venues as Tipitina's in New Orleans and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. This feature-length DVD is a concert film of extraordinary intimacy, with the HD cameras focused primarily on the stage and often inches away from singer songwriter Jeff Tweedy's microphone or drummer Glenn Kotche's cymbals. Ashes of American Flags also functions as an evocative travelogue, a document of the band's physical and emotional journey. Co-directors Brendan Canty, the former Fugazi
drummer, and Christoph Green track Wilco's tour bus across the country, taking in both the wide-angle beauty and William Eggleston-like desolation of the highways and cities they pass through. At each stop, the filmmakers record candid moments
at sound check, back stage and on the bus, where band members offer insights into their lives on the road and their remarkably intuitive communication as a group.
