“It was as fascinating to me as anything being made by actual musicians using actual instruments,” Jeff Tweedy said in his 2017 memoir, Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back). “I wanted to know why it was so hypnotic to me. Why could I listen to hours of this stuff, even though I had no clue what any of them were saying. That question became the foundation for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot … the way people communicated or ultimately failed to communicate.”
Wilco are celebrating Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by playing it in full at shows at United Palace in New York City, and in three consecutive nights from April 22-24 at Auditorium Theatre in Chicago.
