Show Notes

Jeff’s voice was on its last legs and the band had just rocked Cain’s Ballroom the night before - BUT Wilco delivered big time on this tour closing night in this iconic old venue in Des Moines. Killer energy from the crowd and band as they worked through 27 songs (!!!) including several deep cuts.
