Wilco

On April 23, 1997, Wilco delivered a memorable performance of "Outtasite (Outta Mind)" on the Late Show with David Letterman, right as they were making waves in the music scene with their album "Being There." This album, which was their sophomore effort, showcased a significant evolution in sound, blending alt-country with hints of rock and pop—a testament to the band's creative growth. Interestingly, the double CD was available at the price of a single album, a savvy move orchestrated by frontman Jeff Tweedy. This performance was pivotal, as it signified the band's increasing popularity and ambition, while "Outtasite" emerged as the lead single, marking their transition from underground favorites to mainstream recognition. The live rendition captures the energetic spirit and raw talent that defines Wilco, setting the stage for their future endeavors.
