Kurt Vile, Mavis Staples & Soccer Mommy joined Wilco at Sky Blue Sky (video)

Wilco‘s Sky Blue Sky Mexico concert vacation went ahead in spite of Covid concerns and calls for refunds, and is happening now in Riviera Maya. Wilco play three sets at the fest, and as Stereogum points out, for night two on Tuesday (which followed a performance from Stephen Malkmus and his Trad Tech band), Wilco brought out a few of the other artists playing the festival as guests. Sophie Allison of Soccer Mommy came out for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot classic “Pot Kettle Black,” and Kurt Vile added vocals to A.M.‘s “Passenger Side.”

For the encore, Wilco brought out Mavis Staples to join them for renditions of her 2010 track “You Are Not Alone” (which Jeff Tweedy produced), and The Staple Singers’ “Freedom Highway.” Watch video clips of all of that, and see Wilco’s night one and two Sky Blue Sky setlists, below.
