Wilco has wowed this summer in a few ways — first with their exceptional Solid Sound acoustic performance (which we captured here), then with the surprise free release of Star Wars, easily their finest album in ten years. Here at Gathering of the Vibes on the Bridgeport seaside, the band built on the momentum they created with their full-album performance of Star Wars back at Pitchfork Music Festival with another full-album run through, followed by some of the band’s best-known songs as well as the rarity “Laminated Cat.” As a special treat, Warren Haynes, he of every single guest appearance at northeastern jam festivals, joined for “California Stars” along with Joe Russo to close things out. But lest you think this was a standard-issue performance, Jeff Tweedy and co., buoyed by the presence of Nels Cline, turned even the older tunes into noisier, edgier renditions than we’ve seen recently, perhaps alienating some of this festival’s core audience, but proving that Wilco is returning to what made Yankee Hotel Foxtrot their true landmark album, and what marks them as so much bigger than being the “dad rock” of their detractors. Star Wars has proven that this band has many more good years ahead, and we’ll be thrilled to be a part of them.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK4V microphones in the taper’s section. While distance and being outdoors always impact sound quality, overall this is an excellent effort. Enjoy!

    Thank you! This is great. I was wondering what the Star Wars songs would sound like live. I’m hoping to see them stretch them out as they continue to play them. Thanks again, for all you do!

    Thanks again for all the great Wilco over the years. I’m seeing them again next month in Cleveland so was especially excited to hear this gig.

    I am not very familiar with Wilco aside from YHF. This was my fifth Vibes, and since my brother loves them so much, I knew I had to see them. Glad I did! The contrasting parts in “Via Chicago” almost made my brain pretzel… but i survived! awesome!
