The book, through Apple’s iBookstore is available for iPad. It documents the band’s five hometown concerts from December 2011 and featires live photography, posters and setlists.
The book also features videos from two live performances backstage at the shows. The first: a powerful, moving performance of Wilco, legendary soul and gospel singer Mavis Staples and indie-pop icon Nick Lowe rehearsing The Band’s classic “The Weight.” The second: a never-before-seen video of Wilco and Staples rehearsing “You Are Not Alone,” the song Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy wrote for Staples’ 2010 Grammy-winning album of the same name.
The Wilco iBook was made using Apple’s iBooks Author program.
The band also has a new album ‘The Whole Love’ out now and has just released the ‘Mermaid Avenue – Complete Sessions’.
