Wilco | Carol's Pub in Chicago, IL | October 9, 2022

On October 9, 2022 Wilco announced a surprise pop up show at Chicago's Famous Late-Night Honky Tonk, Carol's Pub. After the first show quickly sold out, the band added a second. When the line continued, they added a third.
It was a special night in celebration of the band's 12th studio album, Cruel Country. Of course we filmed it! Enjoy this edit of the band performing "A Story To Tell," "I Am My Mother," "Cruel Country" and "Falling Apart (Right Now)."
Get Cruel Country now on vinyl or CD: ada.lnk.to/Cru...
And continue the celebration with the band on upcoming tour dates in the US / ICELAND / EU / UK / IRELAND! Tickets are available at Wilcoworld.net/...

Superb! Everybody needs more Wilco in their lives.

[@ericwfriesen]

Pat's guitar playing on these songs really stands out. Fantastic.

[@al1976-v7m]

Yeah that finishing solo on the last song is great. Telecaster really lends itself to country though.

[@Jackson-ms8zs]

Totally. And paired with baritone Nels - very tasty.

[@danielteomusic5851]

It’s a b-bender. Rad!

[@danielaloi8062]

I agree with my friend John that "Pat is the Ariel Bender of the band."

[@poolboy33]

was just thinking the same

[@markarcherisinflorid]

God damn the audio mix is outstanding!

[@SMHEFtime]

Getting our tickets today for Wilco's visit to Clearwater Fl. New fans at age 67, thank you Susie for the Tweedy Show!

[@ArturoGofunkez]

I just watched a great two-part interview with former Wilco (and Blue Rodeo) member Bob Egan on a channel called Northern Revolutions. He talks about a bunch of his favourite records, among other things. Well worth watching.

[@reneeschwider6136]

Im starting to love their alt country throw back.. it's different but anything they do is amazing! Tweedy's the best song writer of my generation.

[@stevenhowsley4876]

So cool!! Awesome production and performance

[@misterkeither]

This is awesome! Incredible mixing too really elevates this. Great performance.

[@NoCoverCharge]

Wilco at a small venue ! Hell yeah

[@paulelliott3220]

[@MaySecond07]

my old hood...miss it..miss you ..miss wilco why I'm at it

[@mikeopdenaker5573]

Wonderful, excellent, marvelous...can you tell...I loved it!

[@kurtkluge1686]

Love it. I saw the Pine Valley Cosmonauts there many years ago. Very cool and funny to me that Wilco played in a tin can.

[@danielaloi8062]

I've been to The Hideout but not Carol's. It's a must my next time in Chicago.

[@johnkokoris9940]

this is the best. gotta listen to that great album again tomorrow

[@joshleeming7796]

This is just what I needed on the first day of my new college semester! I’ve been a Wilco fan since middle school 😊 hopefully they come back to DFW before too long!

[@dougbenthien6769]

Much props to you for discovering and loving wilco in middle school. I've been following Jeff T. since he was in Uncle Tupelo...but I was in college then. I wish you a lifetime of joy through art as wonderful as this. Much love....

[@BIGmanDAN72]

Yupp I came here to say I feel blessed to discover wilco at 26, middle school tho? That's rad, good luck in school.

[@okalright8980]

Loved them since am ❤

[@iancaveney7464]

This is awesome, needs more Nels, though!

[@lawrence5117]

Marvelous stuff, thanks.

[@NellieFly]

Right on.

[@drewa1999]

Awesome tunes and tones!

[@cheliceratabass]

Nels shredding hard. Love to see it

[@user-dc7um4pr3f]

Man I was in line for this and missed it by maybe a couple dozen people. Damn haha.

[@ronaldsears4979]

Keep holding your chin up high and keeps singing the words to the heavens and all the civil rights of human people and I will keep on listening as long as you play I've seen you before the last days of my life as I have not seen you for but that's okay you're the greatest man who wants to speak the truth of The facts of Life

[@Lucas420_YT]

Your band was a legend for make "just a kid"

[@MaySecond07]

Saw Jeff solo, Uncle Tupelo and Golden Smog at Lounge Ax

[@DanGraul]

If you released a DVD of all three sets, I'd probably buy it... just sayin'...

[@ryansells2743]

Bass player is bad ass, no need to mask his talent.

[@Mkartarik01]

Jeff Tweedy looks like Jimmy Fallon doing a Jeff Tweety impersonation.

[@DHandelman]

3 shows and only 15 minutes? We want more!

[@SMHEFtime]

They're touring!

[@progressiveRAMONETTI]

Los amo

[@patrickwaclaw]

release the full show!!!

[@mikecountryman2218]

HEAR ME OUT: 🙌 Wilco: Live at Carol’s Pub on vinyl 🙌

[@MusicNudnik]

Superb! and sounds so good. Please come to Tel Aviv

[@fellowjelte]

That's how you play songs

[@TheJunehog]

Is it just me, or does the chorus in the song "A Story to Tell" strongly echo the chorus of "Country Disappeared" on *Wilco the Album* ?

[@liamgallagherrr]

nice of Nels to pop in and moonlight on guitar after a long shift down at the hospital performing surgery

[@WALSTIB107]

Make this a Roadcase release for pete's sake!

[@closebits]

Man, why did you skip Maine? Or anywhere close?

[@Superheavy420]

I probably cook at a different restaurant nearby. Instead of at Carols total snub. It's probably not Michelin at Carol's either. But, nice effort after all these years.

[@user-hd2to7lv8y]

Why is it always the tall guy with a cowboy hat in the front row?

[@zenarrow3356]

Right? Just inconsiderate of others who just want to see ss much as he does

[@davescott8031]

@@zenarrow3356 Saw a tall guy at a Tedeschi Trucks Band show, standing up right in front. The back of his t-shirt read, "Sorry, my girlfriend is short." At least he knew what we were all thinking!

[@margotthomas1450]

​@@zenarrow3356 why should tall people not stand wherever they like. They've paid the same money for their ticket as you. Plus the stage is raised by at least three foot so everybody can see fine

[@bethschettino7781]

Who's standing at the rail with a cowboy hat on?? That's pretty ballsy.

[@joecharles5368]

He's going back to he & Jay F. Days. But with more years & modern tech.

[@Kevin9687]

Wait a minute...this is not the new M2 Pro announcement event.

[@tuffitout2568]

Who's that masked man?

[@al1976-v7m]

LOL Nels Cline

[@reneeschwider6136]

Nels Cline

[@reneeschwider6136]

Why are they going so country? I think they should mix it up. What happened to the Kickin'Television music 🎵🎶

[@chrisserchrist]

Needs more commercials

[@natalymoncada7733]

WTF is called the same as a Spanish channel called wilco

[@andreavaldroni7026]

Why is Nels wearing a mask?

[@danijelmiklic8493]

COVID-19.

[@CarlosCarranco]

@@danijelmiklic8493that does not answer the question. Wearing a mask is not appropriate. It won’t prevent him from spreading it nor you from getting it.

[@ScoDiddley]

late night honky tonk? it is a corner bar. they're still not half the band they were with Coomer and Bennett.

[@user-pu5sk1zc8s]

I am constantly amazed at hoe consistently boring Wilco is.

[@ojusticeiro9395]

So… bye?

[@ronaldsears4979]

I understand somebody who's been on the road I know where he's coming from others who come back into town still lives the past what they lived before taking it out on their victims can they learn to live a normal life than victimized the ones who have not victimized them or seen them for years they're totally fun local and crazy and out of control right but this feeling cheating and the deceit of robbery of someone who has never done them wrong makes them the perpetrator they'll always be and they will live with the guilt of it for the rest of their life until the day comes when we're all under the sun and everything will be done our Father who Art in heaven high will be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread forgive us our trespasses against this latest not to temptation but deliver Us from evil red eyes that Kingdom and power and Glory forever in Jesus name amen
