Wilco

In August 2009, Wilco delivered a compelling performance of "Handshake Drugs" at Lollapalooza in Chicago, showcasing their dynamic sound and the deep connection with their audience. At this point in their career, the band had recently released their album "Sky Blue Sky" in 2007, which marked a shift towards a more polished and reflective sound compared to their earlier work. Interestingly, "Handshake Drugs" is a fan favorite from the album "A Ghost Is Born," released in 2004, blending intricate guitar work with thought-provoking lyrics. This live recording captured the band at a moment where they were solidifying their reputation as a leading force in the alternative rock scene. Plus, the festival atmosphere added an electric vibe, making it a standout moment in their live history.
