Wilco’s Ode to Joy fall tour keeps on rolling with stops in Indiana, Kentucky, and Missouri over the last three nights. While fans may still complain about the repetition in the setlists, a surprise was provided in the form of the Bottle Rockets’ (who opened the show) Brian Henneman, along with their drummer Mark Ortmann, who joined in on the encore’s performances of “California Stars” and “Casino Queen.”
The later song was especially notable as Henneman had played on the studio version that was released on Wilco’s 1995 debut, A.M. Henneman was the lead guitarist on the album, but didn't continue as an official member because he was launching the Bottle Rockets during the same period. Read more about “Casino Queen” here.
