Summary: Wonderful experience
Comment: Very satisfied with my purchase! I'm a "newish" Wilco fan who bought this on recommendation of other reviewers. It's excellent. I've watched once and am watching (more like listening) a 2nd time. This DVD makes it easy to appreciate songs in a new way. In fact, I don't think I ever noticed "In a Future Age" till I heard it's beautiful performance on this DVD. Only gripe, and nothing to drop my review, is that each "Intro" part contains 1-2 songs not identified on the package or screen. Too bad. But I know I'll learn them in time. So--there's actually much more music than is in the playlist. This is a great purchase I know I'll enjoy for a long time to come. Now...will Wilco/Tweedy PLEASE come to play in the Phoenix area!

Summary: Portrait of the Touring Solo Artist
Comment: The film "Sunken Treasure: Jeff Tweedy Live in the Pacific Northwest" contains footage from a brief solo, mainly acoustic, tour, ostensibly completed during breaks from Tweedy's work with his most well-known project, Wilco. There are various performances, some interspersed touring-on-the-bus clips, and occasional complaints from the man himself about audience members talking during the songs.
As such, I thought this film played like Tweedy's "Don't Look Back". It opens with a fabulous rendering of the DVD's title track, from the Wilco album Being There; in it, there are breathtaking swirls of guitar and voice, all demonstrating, in one song, perhaps why this man has garnered so much cult support from curious music downloaders and avid indie-rockers. There are many other songs featured: Some are well-known to Wilco fans, like "How to Fight Loneliness", "ELT", and "Heavy Metal Drummer". One, "Laminated Cat", stems from yet another project of Tweedy's, Loose Fur. As a singular body of work, there can be no doubt that this man has a stunning catalogue from which to compose his set lists.
Tweedy also muses, backstage or at a radio station, I wasn't wholly sure, about the fine line between artist-and-everyone-else. "I'm one of you!" he even chides, somewhat ingenuously, to the aforementioned crowd of talkers. This gave way to a self-described "pissy artist" rant, which culminated in Tweedy folding his arms and allowing a Portland, Oregon, audience time to silently collect itself.
While this might be construed as the most interesting non-musical moment in a film of outstanding musical performances, it isn't. I have often found it a bit bizarre the way musical artists, particularly singing-songwriters in the Dylanesque tradition, demand such obsequious compliance to their own performances, almost in lieu of their own desire to so-called connect with the so-called public. Indeed, we enter the film to a monologue by Tweedy, in which he allows that "these voices" he hears seem to be coming from "an abyss". This abyss is the audience, but it also may be the record-buying public. Many artists these days, and it's totally understandable considering the insuperable demands of the music marketplace, are perfectly willing to give their music away via file-sharing (Wilco, as many fans already know, are forerunners in this musical-cum-business experiment, and have achieved much success as a result), yet seem to tighten the reigns drastically when it comes to the actual rendering of these digital soliloquies. The artist, just like the rest of us, has complicated choices to make in a world of demand and immediacy, and contradictions of intent arise with unfortunate ease. I guess it's a two-way street (or a double-edged sword; I've never been too clever with metaphors).
For an artist, Jeff Tweedy is a man beset with lyrical and melodic gifts; for a regular guy, he's beset by everything else, just like all the rest of us.

Summary: How to Download the Free Audio MP3's
Comment: This is a great concert disc. At the very least if you've ever been to a Tweedy solo show (or have never been to Tweedy solo show) it's a great thing to own.
Here's the caveat: half why I bought mine was the free audio download of this music. This uses a Quicktime file which uses Flash. Apparently Quicktime doesn't use Flash. (You read that right...) Apple sucks. Whine & moan about Windows in your little "I'm a PC" commercials all you want to... this is just yet another reason NOT to buy a Mac... Bottom line is, don't count on getting these tracks in mp3 format without a lot of hassle, if at all.
But that's not Jeff's fault... and here's how to get around it. I found a site called "oldversions". I went back and got Quicktime 6.5.2, and that worked the way it's supposed to. You'll have to uninstall newer versions of Quicktime to do this... but once you download the tracks, you can update back to the latest version. Or not, up to you.
All together a great buy -- just be ready to spend 20 minutes to do everything you need to get the bonus tracks.
