Wilco will be streaming a live webcast from its sold-out show at Overture Hall in Madison, Wisconsin, Saturday night beginning at 8:30 PM CST. Tune in then to watch the performance live at wilcoworld.net.
The band has been on the road in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, including what turned out to be a rather rain-soaked but nonetheless packed outdoor set at LiveCity Yaletown (David Lam Park) in Vancouver for LiveCity, the city's free public offerings during the Winter Olympics. "Tweedy and his mates looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves onstage," reports the Vancouver Sun, "and the crowd, in spite of the rain, certainly seemed to appreciate the band’s efforts."
Wilco is in Duluth, Minnesota, tonight to play a sold-out show at the DECC Arena before tomorrow's show in Madison and Sunday's sold-out set at the Wharton Center Cobb Hall in East Lansing, Michigan, on Sunday. "It's obvious the band gets by on hard-earned talent," says the Lansing State Journal's Anne Erickson. "Fifteen years and seven albums since getting together, Wilco's music still sounds edgy and alive." You can read her interview with bassist John Stirratt at lansingstatejournal.com.
