Thursday night, Wilco concluded Winterlude, their four night residency at the Chicago Theatre, which was also their last concert of 2019. While the main set won’t surprise any fan that's been following the Ode to Joy tour, the encore should've satisfied both the casual and hardcore.
After the obvious crowd-pleaser that is “California Stars,” Jeff Tweedy and company broke out “Spiders (Kidsmoke),

“Bright Leaves”
