Wilco Perform ‘A Ghost Is Born’ in Its Entirety at Their Solid Sound Fest

Wilco celebrated the 20th anniversary of 'A Ghost Is Born' by performing the 2004 album in its entirety Saturday at their Solid Sound Festival.

Earlier this month marked the 20th anniversary of Wilco ’s A Ghost Is Born, and to celebrate its belated birthday, the band performed the entire 2004 album in its entirety Saturday at their Solid Sound Festival. After a string of fan favorites and the live debut of two songs off their new Hot Sun Cool Shroud EP, however, things took a turn as Wilco began playing A Ghost Is Born tracks in the same order as the album’s track list: First “At Least That’s What You Said,” then “Hell Is Chrome,” then “Spiders (Kidsmoke),” etc, and it soon became apparent that Solid Sound goers were in the midst of a full album performance. During the lengthy noise jam that concludes the penultimate track “Less Than You Think,” Wilco walked off-stage, but returned for the encore that kicked off with the album’s closing song, “The Late Greats,” plus other non- A Ghost of Born favorites.
