Wilco Live Performance of Box Full of Letters - Early USTV Appearance

Venue: Tramps Location: New York, New York, United States Date: June 9, 1995

On June 9, 1995, Wilco performed at Tramps in New York City, delivering an early live rendition of 'Box Full of Letters.' This performance came shortly after the release of their debut album, 'A.M.,' which dropped in March of the same year. At this point in their career, Wilco was still forging their identity in the alt-country scene, showcasing their growing musical prowess. An interesting tidbit: 'A.M.' was a direct response to the band's previous band, Uncle Tupelo's breakup, making this concert not just a performance but a pivotal moment in their evolution. As they played, you could feel the excitement and anticipation in the air; these were the early days of a band destined for greatness, and fans were just starting to realize it.
