Jeff Tweedy kicked off the last live set of the Solid Sound Festival with “Out of Tune.”

Meanwhile, management of the venue at MASS MoCA says there were just over 5,000 people on Joe’s Field for Wilco‘s amazing set on Saturday night. And there was room for many, many more.

Can you say: the start of an annual tradition? Stay tuned. It just might happen.

The beauty of the Solid Sound Festival is the way the artists respect each other and care about their work.

If you expected vocals, you were disappointed by The Nels Cline Singers. But if you weren’t, this improvisational instrumental Wilco side project probably blew you away this afternoon at the Solid Sound Festival.
