Wilco were in fine form Thursday night at the Main Stage. The band played an energetic two hour set covering perrenial favorites from the 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' and 'Sumerteeth' eras as well songs from their latest release 'Wilco (the Album)'. Jeff Tweedy laughed and bantered with the audience, and at one point asked the crowd to give up their supplies of glowsticks which resulted in the predictable meteor shower of glowsticks onto the stage. The glowstick shower did get tiring after about 10 minutes and had the band dive back into the music led by some searing guitar work by Nels Cline. He seemed posessed! Indeed, one of the highlights of the festival for me.

Write to us with your comments, requests and experiences from the festival (and other compelling music show/events you'd care to share). - Cheers, Ankur
