In February, Wilco announced plans to mark the 20th anniversary of their landmark 2002 album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot with a series of shows in New York City and Chicago. That was just the beginning, as Nonesuch Records has now detailed seven different special anniversary editions of the album, coming Sept. 16. Included across the sets are a sprawling collection of extras, including a maximum of 82 (!) previously unreleased songs.
A press release details the various editions as follows:
The now-classic record has been remastered and will be available as part of each set. The Super Deluxe version comprises 11 vinyl LPs and one CD—including demos, drafts and instrumentals, charting the making of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot—plus a live 2002 concert recording and a September 2001 radio performance and interview. That box set includes 82 previously unreleased music tracks, as well as a new book featuring an interview with singer/songwriter/guitarist Jeff Tweedy, drummer Glenn Kotche, and Jim O’Rourke, who mixed the acclaimed 2002 album; an in-depth essay by journalist/author Bob Mehr; and previously unseen photos of the band making the album in their Chicago studio, The Loft.
Also included (with the Super Deluxe LP and CD, and Deluxe LP and digital sets) is a new recording of a renowned 2002 Wilco show in St. Louis, titled Snoozin’ at The Pageant – Live 7/23/02 at The Pageant, St. Louis, MO. The band’s performance of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot closer “Reservations” during that show is out now. They also appeared on Monday night’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform penultimate album cut “Poor Places.”
Below, watch Wilco’s “Reservations” and “Poor Places” performances, plus a 1996 Wilco performance from the Paste archives, and further down, find the band’s remaining Yankee Hotel Foxtrot anniversary shows and the details of their various Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 2022 Edition releases.
