Wilco is offering downloads of two full shows from the past year for free on their site, and in exchange they're asking fans who snag them to donate a minimum of $15 tp either OXFAM or Doctors Without Borders. That is over 4-1/2 hours of music for a measly fifteen bucks towards two worthy causes active in helping those in need all over the world, including Haiti.

It's also worth noting that the two shows have wildly varying set-lists, making them even more worth downloading. And again, they're offering these for free on the good faith that people who want to enjoy them will do the right thing.

So, fans of Tweedy and the boys, do the right thing.
