Wilco @ Riviera Theatre, Chicago, IL [2/16/08]

So now is where I'd usually post some pictures from last night's Wilco show at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, and give some details about the show, but I'm currently stranded in lovely Detroit because my connecting flight from Chicago was inexplicably canceled for "mechanical reasons". I'm at the wonderfully awful Quality Inn by the airport, so if any Detroit-area reader wants to swing by and party until my flight in the morning, bring it on.

Here's the setlist via Wilcobase. Needless to say, this was probably the best show I've seen from Wilco since at least their show at Stubb's during ACL Fest in 2004. Maybe longer. Just a great, great show. Made me almost feel like 1997 all over again. "I Got You" made me absolutely giddy.
