Even though Wilco’s latest, Sky Blue Sky, is as stuffed with
ideas as the band’s best work, it sometimes meanders in an
unflattering way. But those same songs will explode onstage, where
Wilco shine as one of today’s best live bands. They improvise
recklessly and sometimes crash spectacularly, which makes their
performances a little riskier and a lot more exciting. (Marymoor
