I knew little about the band Wilco when I went to see them in concert last month. Honestly, I was going to see their warm-up act, Nick Lowe (who is a musical legend in my book). I went to iTunes and downloaded several songs to become more familiar with them. I liked what I heard and found them to be original and creative, which should always be happening in any art form. I also value their music’s unique edge and ability to defy easy categorization. Formulas get old and boring fast, even if they sell albums. Tired and/or lazy artists repackage and recreate the same old thing.

I became an even bigger fan after seeing the band live. The opening song, Art of Almost,” blew me away with its musical intensity and the visual backdrop they provided for it. It was like nothing else I had heard or seen before, and I’ve been to many concerts. There are actual video clips of the show I attended at Merriweather Post Pavilion on YouTube, but they are shortened. I thought you might want to see/hear the song in its entirety. On a bigger stage, it was visually stunning.

Have a great weekend!
