On Friday, Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival 2024 in North Adams, MA, saw the live debut of various deep cuts that have never been performed in the band’s live history. According to an article from Stereogum, Jeff Tweedy and co. played “Quiet Amplifier” from their 2019 album Ode To Joy, “Venus Stopped The Train” from the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot demo LP, and “Tell Your Friends” from their 2020 record of the same name.
Along with these performances, also saw the return of many fan favorite songs to the stage. “Sonny Feeling”, which was first time since 2010; “One Sunday Morning,” “Message From Mid-Bar”, “Deeper Down”, and “Just A Kid” for the first time since 2014; “Panthers”, “Dark Neon”, “ELT”, “Bob Dlyan’s 49th Beard,” and “Let’s Not Get Carried Away” for the first time since 2015; and “Camera” and “Just Say Goodbye” for the first time since 2016.
