A new collection of historic live Wilco concerts, this six disc standard CD boxset features three full length performances recorded over consecutive nights in October 2014, in front of sold out audiences at the Capitol Theatre in New York. Highlights of the 90-song track list are live favorites plus many rarities, dating back to the band's earliest albums. A unique feature of this tour was an acoustic encore, with a singalong cover of The Grateful Dead’s “Ripple,” and many more unique performances from Wilco's expansive discography.

Necromonkey is the collaboration between drummer Mattias Olsson who was part of the founding members of swedish band Änglagård, of which he left in 2012, and keyboardist David Lundberg from Gösta Berlings Saga. The two first met in 2008 while working on Gösta Berlings Saga's second album Detta har hänt and thought about working together. 2010 saw the begining of the writing and recording for their first album Necroplex in Olsson's Roth-Händle studios in Stockholm. Their vision was not about making an Änglagård meets Gösta Berlings Saga kind of album but instead focusing on something new which will reflect everything they love in music. Necroplex was released in 2013 and showed how fertile this duo is, making an album deeply rooted in modern electronic but still incorporates a huge amount of acoustic and electric instruments.

The two didn't wait long before releasing a second album, A Glimpse Of Possible Endings is already finished and due to be released in 2014.
