Wilco - Sweet and Sour Spring
After the dissolution of the alternative country band Uncle Tupelo the remaining members of the band, Jeff Tweedy and John Stirratt, went on to form the beloved alternative rock band Wilco, which they based out of Chicago, Illinois, US.
Wilco has been influenced by a wide variety of musical styles including folk, rock, country, punk and experimental music and each album they make seems to reflect its unique influences. The band formed in 1994 and released their debut album “A.M.” just a year after their formation. “A.M” is the band’s most alternative country sounding album to date and songs like “Passenger Side” clearly convey the band’s influence of power pop bands like Big Star as well as country rock musicians like Neil Young and Gram Parsons.
The band’s second album “Being There” showed Wilco incorporating more experimental sounds into their music, which would continue throughout their career and would play a huge impact on their most critically acclaimed album “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”.
Not only was “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” a landmark album for Wilco that launched the band into the mainstream, but it was a landmark album for music history. Rolling Stone has labeled the album the third best album of the 2000’s and has included it on the list of top 500 albums of all time. Other publications have also highly praised the album such as Pitchfork who called it the fourth best album of the 2000’s. The album contains many of Wilco’s best songs to date including “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart”, “War on War”, and “Jesus, Etc.” “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” is also relevant for being the last album that guitarist Jay Bennett would perform on and the first album that would include the drummer Glenn Kotche.
After the release of Wilco’s Grammy award wining album, “A Ghost Is Born”, they would stabilize their lineup with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone and avant-garde jazz guitarist Nels Cline. Although one might expect Wilco’s sound to become even more experimental with the addition of an avant-garde guitarist, in fact their next album “Sky Blue Sky” showed Wilco moving further away from experimentation and following a style that was deeply rooted in the folk and Americana genres, which conveyed inspiration from artists like The Byrds and Bob Dylan. The Grammy nominated album showed that Wilco could perfect the sound of ‘70s soft rock and broadened the diversity of Wilco’s audience.
Wilco continues to release high quality albums and have appeared on many notable television shows such as Late Show with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live. In their free time the band also enjoys working on their side projects. Jeff Tweedy has been involved with the band Loose Fur, which features Jim O’Rourke and Glenn Kotche, and is also involved in the band Tweedy with his son. Pat Sansone and John Stirratt have released several albums under their soft-rock band The Autumn Defense and Nels Cline is involved with his solo material.
Wilco has become one of America’s best regarded indie rock bands and their influence can be seen all over modern music from bands such as The National. They are also well regarded for their Solid Sound Festival, which they curate and headline. Wilco has already established themselves as legends and their music continues to keep critics and fans in complete awe.
Read moreThe alternative rock band Wilco is still going strong. They're not glitzy or glamorous, but they're great musicians who put on an amazing live show.
A lot of acts that sound fabulous on their CDs are disappointments live, and some even lip-synch to recorded tracks, but these guys are the real deal musically. On top of that, they keep their ticket prices low, but play for at least two hours, so you get your money's worth and then some.
Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline get the lion's share of the attention, but every member of the band is a standout. To hear them, you'd never believe they've been playing some of these songs since the nineties. Not only does each number sound fresh and absolutely contemporary, but the band puts as much energy into each performance as if it were their first time on stage. Indeed, they seem to be enjoying the show as much as any audience member. They know their stagecraft, too, keeping the audience's attention with a light show, and witty patter from Tweedy.
Expect Wilco to roll out a fair number of their classics plus a few covers for good measure. Highlights of the evening included "Dawned On Me," "Jesus, Etc.," and "California Stars."
The critically acclaimed American alt-rockers Wilco have a huge demand to be seen live in the UK as they have amassed a cult-like following for their unique brand of soulful indie/folk rock.
The Grammy award winners have been consistently released solid material since their debut album 'A.M' in 1995. Despite having not achieved great commerciality in the UK (their highest chart position to date remains #30) the crowd compensate this with enthusiasm. From the singalong to opening track 'Less Than You Think' you would imagine it was a #1 smash hit. This level of interaction continues for 'Art of Almost' thanks to the rapport that Wilco quickly builds with the crowd.
The band conducts themselves with a mannerism that sits well with the British audience. There is no showmanship or brash audacity likened to some otherAmerican rockers, Wilco instead prefer to stand centre stage and allow their music to tell the stories. Stopping only briefly to thank the crowd, they run through an extensive set that draws from all varieties of their albums and leaves the crowd contented and impressed by this humble, sincere rock outfit.
These guys are an astonishing act to see live. Consummate professionals with excellent songs, incredible musicianship and a wonderful rapport with their audience, Wilco have zero rock and roll pretension and all of the "big show" quality you expect from a legend. Best of all they always have new stuff to mix in with their extensive back catalogue. Few artists can boast such a deep base of good songs to pull from. Wilco plays a great show, up there with the best I've seen. Bruce Springsteen and George Clinton are the only artists that give this same value.
The shows were great.Each night they changed the set list up a little with 5 to 8 different songs that they only played once,the rest of the sets were basically the same.Each night started with the same song off there latest LP,Normal American Kids.The venue is incredible,The Theater At The Ace Hotel in downtown L.A.Theater district.You can't go wrong seeing any act in these renovated old vaudeville theaters.If your a Wilco fan you'll really enjoy the show or rather shows
The band never fails to disappoint. About 2.5 hours of delicious Wilco, but this time the band is a bit nostalgic and cracks out some of the oldies like from Mermaid Avenue. Jeff says he's trying something new, introducing the songs and he doesn't like it! They play 2 encores for this first night of the 2015 tour and do a little acoustic living room jam of Misunderstood. WOW! See you next time boys.
Let's just drop any pretense or superlative filled narrative and cut right to the bottom line: Wilco is the world's greatest rock band. Period. Sampling from their entire back catalog and the current Ode to Joy they mesmerized the Heinz Hall audience for over 2 hours. And it was indeed a joy to be sitting in the Orchestra Pit right in front of the amazing Nels Cline!
Seen them three times now as of yesterday, and get blown away every time. I don't think there will ever be a time that I won't go watch them.
Jeff tweedy is usually good for some great banter, but this time their set was so dense that, according to the man himself "we don't have time to talk because we are trying to stuff so much music into your ears.
Yes.
Strong showing from these hometown heroes - set list covered a wonderful stretch of albums, focused on more recent efforts and a teaser for Wilco Schmilco during the main set, then a lot of classics from their 90s and early 00s efforts during the two encores. All in a beautiful venue with an adoring crowd.
Amazing show, as usual. As Tweedy admitted, possibly the best London gig they ever had. This time around, audience was somehow awake and actually took part into the show.
Glenn was amazing and Pat Sansone could actually play floss if he was asked to. Can't wait for next gig!
Great show and the impromptu acoustic set encore was amazing. The venue has great sound and Wilco puts on an amazing show. My only critique is for the opener Kurt Vile or maybe their sound because they didn't sound as good as Wilco. That said I enjoyed this show very much.
