Hometown heros, Wilco kicked off their three-night, sold-out stint at The Riviera on Wednesday. Fans were treated to a fresh setlist every night, each evening a healthy dose of newer songs mixed with oldies.
Night one featured the first performance of “Less Than You Think” since 2017 (it ruled), Nikki Glaser’s favorite song, “She’s a Jar,” a beautiful Nels Cline solo on several songs but particularly “Ashes of American Flags,” and a rare flub, as “Theologians” had to be restarted due to a tuning issue. As has come to be the standard for a Wilco show, it was all one big treat.
Local newcomers on the rise, Horsegirl really impressed with their opening set. Wilco and Horsegirl have another three-night residency beginning this week at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY before Wilco hops the pond to Reykjavik, Iceland for a very special few nights of shows.
Catch them on the road, as they’ll be touring the US this spring and heading back to Europe this summer.
