Wilco, fresh off last night's rocking sold-out set at New York's Keyspan Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, under a beautiful summer sky on Coney Island, is set to perform on Late Show with David Letterman tonight. The group will play "You and I," the Wilco (the album) duet with Leslie Feist, who will join the band for the show, as she did on Coney Island last night. Judging by last night's performance, it's something not to be missed. Tune in to the Late Show on your local CBS station beginning tonight at 11:35 PM ET.

Feist wasn't the only special guest on the stage at Keyspan Park. Billboard's Jonathan Cohen says it was "a slew of high-profile guests," also including Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste and opening act Yo La Tengo for the encore. American Songwriter's Drew Litowitz suggests, "If there ever was a Wilco show to attend, it was last night at Brooklyn’s Key Span Park ... What happens in Brooklyn is awesome in Brooklyn." The Brooklyn Paper's Gersh Kuntzman exclaims, "The summer is but three weeks old, but Monday night’s Wilco concert in Coney Island will go down as the singular highlight of the season."

While Brooklyn enjoyed a beautiful summer night, Saturday night's show at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts, was memorable indeed, and not only for the deluge that brought it to a slightly earlier close than usual. The Boston Globe's Sarah Rodman writes:

In a set cut short by rain but still long on sonic pleasures, the sextet eagerly roamed through its catalog old and new, stopping at every style along the way from swinging alt-country to warped folk to interludes that deftly intertwined cacophony and tenderness, classic rock and contemporary free-spiritedness.

In the end, she concludes, "It was a beautiful night until it wasn’t, and even then it still retained a sense of jubilant, if wet, shared experience."

Britain's Daily Telegraph gives the new album four stars, exclaiming: "Jeff Tweedy has got the balance just right, with a collection of unflaggingly high-quality, Beatles-y tunes, less tormented than of old and with a yearning, uplifting summery spirit." Read the review at telegraph.co.uk.

The Scotland Herald says the band "seem to have upped their game here, starting with 'Wilco (The Song)' a bouncy rocker that gives out all the love leader Jeff Tweedy, below, has for his fans. It's sincere and effective, and there's more."

Reviewer Phil Miller goes on to list some favorite tracks and then sums it all up this way: "The whole album is beautifully produced and suffused with a kind of mature smarts which could, in other hands, be smug or pompous, but in Tweedy's hands sounds comforting and life-affirming ... It's great to have them back, America's best band."
