Wilco mixed never-played-before gems with live staples over the first two nights of their highly-anticipated residency at Chicago’s Riviera Theatre. Kudos to Greg Kot for providing the play-by-play for those of us who aren’t lucky enough to be at the shows in person. Friday night’s set skewed towards the Sky Blue Sky material, while Saturday’s show featured Andrew Bird guesting on a few tracks. Look for a full report on this historic run later this week.
Let’s see what else is goin’ on this fine Presidents’ Day morning:
- Dave Matthews to jam with the Dalai Lama in Seattle
- VH-1 to air Aftermath: The Station Fire Five Years Later
- Eddie Vedder will embark on a brief solo tour in April
- Merch Gone Wild: The Brian Wilson Kimono
- Spoon gears up for a busy couple of a months
- Fresh Bread reviews Sharon Jones at the Beacon
- High Sierra additions include RatDog and Rotary Downs
Hopefully you’re either off today, or slacking because your evil boss is making you work. We’re off, so expect a light posting day today. We’ll be back with a vengeance tomorrow.
