The first time I heard Wilco was when someone turned me on to their collaboration with Billy Bragg, which is an amazing album (check it out if you are not familiar). After that, I began to explore more of Wilco’s music and gained a deep appreciation for them. Since I had not seen them before, my wife and I jumped at the opportunity to see them at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, an intimate venue.
There really isn’t a whole lot to talk about with this show. Wilco was amazing, and I had a wonderful evening with my wife. Sometimes just enjoying live music with someone you love is all you need.
Here’s the setlist.

Yeah, I don’t see it for this year. I’m thinking spring 2021 as the earliest. The Alanis show I have tickets for got rescheduled for Aug 2021! But yes, I miss going to concerts.

The name “Wilco” sounds familiar to me, but I’ll have to look them up. Thanks for the recommendation, Jeff! All is well here – back to work in the library, but we are closed to patrons. Hope all is well with you.

Aren’t libraries essential businesses ? 😀
