Wilco

Alternative country titans Wilco have had a well-documented run lately. They played Aug. 4, 2004, at the Capital Music Hall, when the chatter around A Ghost Is Born and I Am Still Trying To Break Your Heart was all the indie news.

Upbeat but a wee bit grainy (I was far away), Jeff Tweedy.



Nels Cline at left; keyboardist and laptop operator Mikael Jorgensen at right. Somewhere an alt-country fan's head just exploded.



Bassist John Stirrat jumps for joy, or just for the heck of it. He was the bounciest guy on stage.



The luminescent altogether, including glowing yellow blob/drummer Glen Kotche ...



... except for keyboardist-guitarist Pat Sansone. So here he is.



And again, backup singing with Stirrat.



Definitely one of the best live shows I saw last year.
