Wilco at Outside Lands
San Francsico, California
August 24, 2008
Here’s a photo of Wilco with Nels Cline wailing on guitar with them at the Outside Lands music festival in Golden Gate Park. I curated the art component of this show and got a rad backstage glimpse at what I consider to be one of the raddest Wilco sets ever. The sun was perfect and Nels killed it. It was mind blowing–so much radder than anyone could have hoped for, including myself. Really, it was killer. The drummer is sick and Wilco really pushed it for an alt.country pop group. They took it outside, literally, but brought it back down to Earth in a way very few seem capable of. Really impressive, actually.–Rich Jacobs
