Setlists, Stats & Infographic | Wilco Winterlude Chicago

Jeff Tweedy and Wilco celebrated the band’s 20 year run with a six-night Wilco Winterlude residency at The Riviera Theatre in Chicago that ended on Saturday night. Each night, the group played 30 songs and there were few repeats over the course of the run as Wilco performed 120 different tunes in Chicago. And some of those repeats featured tunes played in different arrangements. Each performance ended with unplugged encores performed hootenanny style.

There were a number of full band debuts trotted out during the run including “Panthers,” “Dark Neon” and “Message From Mid-Bar.” Bust outs were par for the course with Tweedy’s solo performance of “Childlike & Evergreen” on Night One marking his first since way back on October 25, 1995. On Night Three (12/08), Wilco was joined by The Total Pros horn section for a number of songs such as “Monday,” “Walken” and “Can’t Stand It.” Saturday’s finale saw Tweedy embrace bassist John Stirratt, the only member of the ensemble who’s been in the band with Jeff since the start. The front man also took an opportunity to thank all the former members of the band for their part in Wilco’s 20-year history.
