We’ve seen Wilco perform a full set live in amphitheater-ready rock mode on late-night television, but here they are in the intimate setting of a bookstore, stripping down three cuts from The Whole Love — “Dawned On Me,” “Born Alone,” and the title track — before closing with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’s “War On War.” Watch Jeff Tweedy sing sans vocal microphone, Nels Cline shred unplugged on a resonator guitar, and Glenn Kotche take NPR’s “Tiny Desk” concept literally with a tiny percussion setup on a desk alongside a tape dispenser, telephones, and other essential office utensils above.
