Product Description:
More than a concert film, ASHES OF AMERICAN FLAGS is a travelogue--an intimate chronicle of Wilco’s communion with the lonely stretches of blacktop that infuse not only their tours, but their music itself. The stark and evocative road movie follows the band from Tulsa to Washington, D.C., capturing their performances in sacred venues (including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium) and offering up candid footage from the miles between shows.
Product Description:
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.
