We’ve compiled videos featuring some of our favorite performances from the past week. Panic covers Wilco, Wilco and Nick Lowe play Cruel To Be Kind, Ween rocks Going Gets Tough From The GetGo, The Motet slay Shakedown Street, Umphrey’s mashes three songs up, 7 Walkers reunites three members of the Dead and MMW teams with Antibalas.
Back on Wednesday, at Wilco’s first of two shows at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center near Atlanta, guitarist Nels Cline used Duane Allman’s famed 1957 Les Paul for a
All troubled thoughts and hand-wringing should cease however, as Wilco has released The Whole Love, a fully realized collection of tunes versatile, commanding, and magnificent.

Back in 1989, when MTV was still living up to its Music Television title, the cable network debuted a show with a simple premise called Unplugged. Artists from a wide variety of genres would perform acoustic sets in front of a small audience. By 1992 the show had produced a #1 single (Mariah Carey’s I’ll Be There) and a #1 album (Eric Clapton’s Unplugged) and dozens of memorable performances.

The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art played host to a crowd of elder fans and families who gathered for a pleasant weekend artistic experiences in the Berkshires. The title of the festival itself, “Solid Sound”, hinted at a range of music and noise and that was certainly delivered upon, even going the extra mile to showcase natures wet splashing of spastic downpours. The first night was almost a complete washout with massive delays in host and headliner Wilco’s set as the gathering waited for Mother Nature to lend a hand.
