Wilco

In the exuberant setting of Farm Aid 2005, Wilco delivered a memorable performance of 'Airline To Heaven.' At this point, the band had just released their acclaimed album 'A Ghost Is Born' in 2004, which showcased their evolution into a more experimental sound, intertwining rock with more avant-garde touches. The live recording is particularly significant, as it captures the band’s raw energy and musical prowess during a pivotal moment in their career, when they were finding their footing in the indie rock scene following the commercial success of 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.' Notably, Jeff Tweedy’s lyrics resonated deeply with audiences, and this performance served to solidify Wilco's status not just as musicians, but as a band with a strong social conscience.
