Wilco

In this clip, Wilco takes the stage at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago on December 9, 2014, delivering an intimate rendition of 'Passenger Side.' This performance comes just after the release of their album 'Star Wars,' which dropped earlier that year. This album marked a bold and experimental phase for the band, showcasing their willingness to explore new sounds and ideas. Interestingly, 'Star Wars' was released for free, reflecting Wilco's desire to connect with their audience in a more meaningful way. By this point in their career, Wilco had already established themselves as a cornerstone in the alt-country genre but continued to innovate, making each live performance, like this one, a unique experience for fans. It’s not just a trip down memory lane; it’s a testament to their evolution as artists, blending nostalgia with new artistic ventures.
