Wilco Live Performance of 'Someone to Lose' at The Beacon Theatre
On March 19, 2017, Wilco performed "Someone to Lose" at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, a highlight during their tour supporting the album "Schmilco." Released in 2016, this album marked a departure into more stripped-down arrangements after the experimental "Star Wars" earlier that same year. "Schmilco" was well-received, showcasing the band's knack for blending introspection with a looser, more playful vibe. The live recording captures the essence of their performance style—an engaging mix of warmth and spontaneity that's a hallmark of their concerts. Fun fact: the title "Schmilco" is a nod to the legendary comedian Shelly Berman, and this album symbolizes Wilco's continued evolution, demonstrating their willingness to experiment while staying true to their roots. Fans were thrilled to experience this unique performance in such a revered venue.
