Wilco Live at Bonnaroo: Performance of 'Via Chicago'
In June 2007, Wilco performed "Via Chicago" at Bonnaroo, a highlight during a pivotal moment in their career.

The Bonnaroo set encapsulated this artistic evolution, resonating with audiences through its emotional depth. With a rich background of experimentation and songwriting prowess, Wilco was truly capturing their stride, solidifying their status as significant contributors to the American music scene.
