Wilco Live at Tower Theater, Philadelphia – Hate It Here Performance
On February 23, 2008, Wilco performed at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, showcasing their latest album 'Sky Blue Sky,' released just ten months prior. This album marked a significant shift for the band, embracing a more relaxed and more organic sound compared to their earlier work. There's a fascinating backstory here—'Sky Blue Sky' was the first album to feature guitarist Nels Cline as a permanent member, adding depth and texture to their performances. Fans were treated to a blend of introspective lyrics and laid-back melodies that night, perfectly embodying the spirit of the album and their live energy. Wilco had built a reputation for their dynamic shows, and this concert was no exception, serving as a powerful reminder of their evolution in the Americana rock scene.
