Wilco, Brixton Academy, 19 November 2016

Wilco's first London show in aeons (and, according to Jeff Tweedy, their best, "although that isn't saying much" - his words , very much not ours).
Framed by a phenomenal leafy, woodland scene, Wilco introduced us to some new songs and reprised the hits for a packed set and two encores.

Strong, and very well received opening with a stripped back Normal American Kids. The set was packed with fan favourites, or at least these fans' favourites, including a lovely version of Reservations, and standout versions of other Yankee Hotel Fixtrot tracks, especially Heavy Metal Drummer and I'm the Man Who Loves you. 

Some great new arrangements. In Kidsmoke, Jeff had the crowd 'ba, ba, ba'-ing the guitar riff as if it was a Southern soul floor-filler. 
The crowd was buzzing at the end of the rapturously-received set.
