Wilco live from the Palace Theatre in Saint Paul, MN. (Live on The Current)

We are thrilled to stream Wilco's Nov. 16, 2017 show LIVE from Saint Paul, MN.
Support The Current: support.mpr.org/youtube
(Music starts at 4:28)
The show at the newly renovated Palace Theatre in St. Paul, Minn., will be one of the last chances for fans to see the band perform for a while, as Wilco will take a hiatus from touring for most, if not all, of 2018 to record new material and for individual members to pursue other projects.

Thanks for posting these, Dave!

You bet. Thanks for streaming the concert! Looking forward to #BeingThere tonight!

Lol if i had known I would have last night, great show!

[@Bananaman3m]

Thanks Dave, I was there and this makes navigating easy.

[@mattermote4761]

These guys are among the best in the business.

[@greatlakesdweller59]

Sublime. I am a better person for watching this. thank you

[@7399klowe]

Good God Nels absolutely shredded the solo in Impossible Germany. The highlight of the show! Thanks Current for sharing this gem with us!

[@louisbelfiore945]

This is one of my all time fav songs, but that solo was as sloppy as it gets. I know technique isn't everything when it comes to soloing, I mean Jimmy Page.....enough said but..... just my two cents

[@goldentee1977]

Agreed. Love that song, love Nels. But, I just prefer the more "restrained" solos in that song. Sometimes, less is more from Nels, who, in my opinion, sometimes tries to fit 1,000 notes into a space that only required 100.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

The Impossible Germany in the 2013 ACL show is pretty rad too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJLbgmp_r8xkrbc

[@fridayjuly24smmv17]

Always.

[@rubaneitor]

@@AllTerrainFamily best version for me

[@michaelthomas3872]

"Art of Almost" is so intense live. This tour was incredible.

[@jonathanlerner4383]

that moment when Tweedy steps aside for the James Elkington solo during California Stars...just spectacular. then the moment at the end of the song when James looks over to Nels with a wry smile. Thanks to Wilco and The Current for the incredible stream. #couchtour

[@neddarden7737]

Wilco has been the best band in the world since they started. I challenge anyone to name a band that still tours that is better than Wilco.

[@geol1936]

Pearl Jam and Wilco are my two faves.

Flaming lips are close

[@willtatz4237]

Yo La Tengo too

[@willtatz4237]

Art of Almost still gives me goosebumps. Wilco is still the best live rock band in the world.

[@mercian1973]

God I love this band. Saw them at the Civic Opera in San Diego . Then caught Jeff Tweedy and son at the Balboa Theatre. Opening band was Minus 5 with Peter Buck.

[@marcoisacchini6403]

Best band of the last 20 years.

I confess... came here just to hear Impossible Germany, a masterpiece!

[@bobburroughs6241]

Me too.

[@KurtPolly505]

I honestly would be ok if they never played Impossible Germany or Via Chicago ever again. Both great song but not two of there best song in my opinion. Just my opinion and prefer the less popular songs live for the most part over the super popular stuff.

[@phlipkid1]

This is an amazing set list and a pretty big departure from some of their other 2017 shows.

[@PATUZI]

Great of you Current to give to us,thanks alot.

[@candiince6549]

Thank you to Wilco and The Current for doing this! I’m so thankful I was there for the shows and get to relive Thursday’s - I’m still suffering from a massive reality hangover and don’t expect to get over it soon. I miss the band and my Wilco fan family!!

[@absolutisimo]

Thanks to The Current for the flawless live stream and recording! Great sound, camera and lighting throughout. Congrats on a great event. I'd hike my monthly MPR contribution just for the opportunity to see more great shows from The Palace or First Ave, if you can. Watching the sold-out Wilco show across town, live, from home, was well worth it!

[@davecarlson7575]

Great to see this show live last night and now to re-live it here! This was the middle of three sold-out Wilco shows at the Palace Theatre which is a great venue (managed by First Avenue). Thanks to Wilco for a very interesting and wide-ranging mix of their music and a cool set design, and to the Current for putting together this broadcast!

[@philipliebschutz3828]

Love the California Stars....very rocking country jam....very sweet!!!

[@philthomas8431]

I love this song. Always a treat to hear them play it when I go see them. Great music to Woody’s beautiful lyrics!

[@mommylap]

The sound live was even better!!

[@GP-pp9bt]

That's what I've heard. LIVE is like a transcendental experience. They must be awesome

[@peterw.5984]

How can anyone give a thumbs down for this amazing performance? Great sound quality too.

[@patrickcarroll1754]

Peter Woodke Because they’re upset they couldn’t make it to the show. This was a painful reminder of what they missed.

[@codieodie6376]

I never understand a thumbs down either. They blow me away and agree with the sound quality. Just saw them in St. Louis and the sound was perfect unlike other artists I've seen at the same venue.

[@TomVollerBerdan]

Turns out there are always seven odd ducks out there. Loved the show live. Love, love, love this stream! The Nels Cline solo is six minutes of heaven on earth. 1:13 to 1:16.

[@MrSullyO]

Exactly!

[@klwalton33]

This is an all-time keeper. I hope The Current is able to keep this video posted forever. I definitely want this as a keepsake! (I was there the night before, but this set was very similar)

[@davidellis5141]

One of the finest bands in America proving it awesome performance. Nels Cline 🎸 virturuso.

[@johnpierce660]

I love the stage background that they've used on this tour! They used it in Tulsa when I saw them back in September. The quality of this feed is great. This band just seems to get better with age!

[@Craigory2022]

Thanks for giving up the goods! Turning a friend onto Wilco and this was a fine place to start!

[@saxmidiman]

Look out! These folks might put L.A. back on the musical map! Fantastic performance. Thank you whoever streamed this. Absolutely Brilliant!

[@mikec915]

How does Wilco put LA back on the musical map? Wilco originated in the St. Louis metro area and resides in Chicago these days.

[@jerryseverson4198]

This is great! Watching on my 55" in stereo! The camera and sound work are awesome! Thankyou!

[@klwalton33]

I did the same last night. Wasn't as good as being there live (I was on Wednesday) but it was DAMN close.

[@mylescoyne1]

Nels really took some risks here on the guitar solo for Impossible Germany. The man is a LEGEND.

Was at this show, but up in the less focused balcony. So nice to be able to get an up close look after the fact. Side with the Seeds....my favorite.

I love Tweedy's awkward comments and jokes in this and all the interviews and stuff. Makes him feel like a random dude you ended up next to on the train.

[@craigwinn]

Love this so much. I wonder what the director has against Pat...

[@bartrankin7893]

Right? Even when he was soloing they were confused. Was Yuka Honda directing?

"Candy Floss"...........Tweedy channels his inner Beach Boy.

[@stevew2396]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5zClYOOqLh0ac0 Here's what part of Spiders sounded like in front of the bar area. The Current's video somehow didn't pick up the audio of the guy to my left, he was great. I'm sure several groups of people behind the bar were trying to carry on conversations during this. Maybe they stopped to see why everybody was singing along?

[@imgitai]

Never noticed Jeff changed the lyric for Heavy Metal Drummer at 1:42:40

Does anyone know Y Wilco replaced this arboreal stage design (featured in nearly every live Wilco vid of the past few yrs) w a backdrop of lights for the St. Louis gig prior 2 this one? I was there & surprised it went unused.

[@codieodie6376]

I was wondering also. Are we the only ones who didn't get the trees?
