Wilco Perform 'Misunderstood' Live in Concert from Chicago
On November 27, 1996, Wilco performed at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, showcasing their evolving sound during a pivotal moment in their career. This live recording came just after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'Being There', which displayed a shift from their alt-country roots toward a more diverse rock palette. Interestingly, 'Being There' had its tracks written while the band was figuring out their identity post the departure of original guitarist Ken Coomer. The performance of 'Misunderstood' highlights the band's experimentation and raw energy at the time, a reflection of their songwriting maturity that fans have come to appreciate. This concert not only captures their ensemble dynamics but also serves as a foundation for the band's future explorations into more complex themes and sounds.
