Wilco began a two-night run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO yesterday and they invited some awesome openers with them for the affair. Last night featured openers The Punch Brothers, and Wilco invited the full band out for a stirring rendition of “California Stars” as part of the encore.

Here’s the setlist from that show courtesy of Via Chicago…

The band returns to the stage tonight with Dr. Dog as the opener, so maybe we can expect a bit more cross-pollination by the end of the night. Check out the poster from the two night run:
