Wilco

On February 15, 2008, Wilco kicked off a special residency at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, a city that holds a special place in the band's heart. This live recording captures the energy of a band that had just released their acclaimed album 'Sky Blue Sky' in 2007. This album was notable for its more relaxed and rootsy sound, a departure from their previous experimental works. Interestingly, during this period, Wilco was navigating the complexities of fame and artistic expression, pushing them to refine their musical identity. The residency itself became a unique opportunity for the band to connect intimately with their fans, as they often rotated setlists and kept the performances fresh and unpredictable. Fans were treated to a mix of beloved tracks and new material, highlighting Wilco's growth and experimentation as a band.
