Wilco

In May 2000, Wilco was riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album 'Summerteeth,' which had been released a year prior. This album showcased a lush, experimental sound that pushed the boundaries of their roots-rock foundations, blending elements of alternative country and pop. The live recording of 'I Must Be High' captures the band at a pivotal moment in their journey, just as they were starting to solidify their unique sonic identity. Jeff Tweedy's songwriting, infused with witty introspection, resonated deeply with fans, while the stellar lineup featuring Jay Bennett and Leroy Bach added to the band's evolving dynamic. Fun fact: this performance at Soldier Field in Chicago marked a significant homecoming for the band, reinforcing their deep ties to the city's vibrant music scene.
