Wilco Live Performance of Space Oddity at Kings Theater Brooklyn
On February 5, 2016, Wilco performed at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, showcasing their eclectic style and deep musical roots. This live rendition of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" came shortly after the release of their album "Star Wars," which debuted in 2015. What's fascinating is that "Star Wars" was a surprise release, reflecting the band's adventurous spirit and willingness to experiment with sounds. The choice to cover a Bowie classic not only highlights their respect for influential music but also captures the emotional weight of the performance, especially considering Bowie had passed away just weeks prior. It was a poignant moment for fans, blending nostalgia and celebration of Bowie's legacy, elements that Wilco has consistently woven into their own music.
