Wilco

In 2011, when Wilco graced the stage at the Gorge Amphitheatre for the Sasquatch! Music Festival, they were riding high on the success of their album "The Whole Love," which had been released just a few months earlier. This album marked a significant moment in their evolving sound, embracing both raw energy and polished artistry, which truly reflected their growth as a band. The live performance captured in this video, particularly the rendition of "Via Chicago," showcases the band's signature mix of rock, alt-country, and experimental influences, all threaded with personal, introspective lyrics. Interestingly, during this era, Wilco had notably been known for their innovative approach to live performances, often intertwining spontaneous jams with meticulously crafted songs, creating an unforgettable experience for fans at the festival.
