Chicago area fans can never get enough of Wilco, but given the group's intimate residency at the Riviera Theatre, fans flocked from all corners of the globe to catch a glimpse. Aside from getting the opportunity to catch Jeff Tweedy and company outside the confines of a mammoth festival, the front man promised "to clear out the dusty corners of the catalog that we haven't attended to in a while." Throughout five sold out nights, the group (and special guest violinist Andrew Bird) alternated between familiar favorites, deeper album cuts and even more coveted obscurities, with links to set lists of each gig available at www.wilcoweb.com.
