Wilco - Random Name Generator Live at Outside Lands 2015 in San Francisco
In August 2015, Wilco performed 'Random Name Generator' at the Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco, just after they released their album 'Star Wars.' This album, known for its surprise drop and free availability online, marked a playful and experimental phase for the band. Jeff Tweedy's light-hearted comment, "We just put out a new album: Star Wars. You can download it for free!" underscores their shift toward a more accessible and spontaneous release strategy. The performance in Golden Gate Park showcased their evolving sound, blending rock with elements of avant-garde and pop, captivating audiences with their willingness to innovate. This concert also represents a significant moment in their career, as 'Star Wars' was well-received and continued to build on Wilco's legacy of challenging musical norms.
