Wilco at Irving Plaza (02-15-1997)
On February 15, 1997, Wilco played a show at Irving Plaza that is infamously remembered for the "Deli Tray Incident." At around 50 minutes into the group's set, Jeff Tweedy retreated backstage and emerged with a tray full of cold cuts - and oh yes, he proceeded to throw those meats into the crowd!
Aside from all this salami tossing, the band played a really amazing sets featuring all of your favorite songs from 1995's A.M. and 1996's Being There (my personal favorite Wilco album). This show was also taped for the HBO show, "Reverb." I included a link to the Youtube video of Reverb episode below. Enjoy this one!
