Video: Wilco: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" (Live at Wrigley Field)
Published 8/5/2008 by Marc Hogan at Pitchfork Media - Today
The first time I saw a game at the Chicago Cubs' historic Wrigley Field, Mel Gibson sang during the seventh-inning stretch. The afternoon after Wilco's favorably received Lollapalooza performance, some luckier baseball fans than I got to see the Sky Blue Sky guys come out to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". After the song, Jeff Tweedy talks about the band's Nudie-style suits, his roots as a St. Louis Cardinals fan, and the slimming qualities of a Cubs jersey. [Sky Blue Sky is out ...

Wilco Lead 7th Inning Stretch at Wrigley

Keeping with their hometown tradition, Wilco lead the Cubs fans at Chicago’s Wrigley Field in the singing of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” We use the term “singing” loosely though, as frontman Jeff Tweedy and the rest of the band pretty much just hold out their microphones to the stands and let the crowd do all the work.

Wilco Take Me Out To The Ballgame thumbnail icon: Wilco Take Me Out To The Ballgame Lots of costume changes for Wilco this weekend. Last spotted sporting nifty suits and debuting works in progress at Lollapalooza , the band swapped 'em for Cubs uniforms the next day and treated the fans at Wrigley to a 7th inning "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." You could say the band was in town for the fest, or you could say the band is from Chicago. Either way, the crowd's into it, even if the band just directs their mics toward the fans. Sit tight through the whole vid though: Jeff talks about Lolla night's set and special suits (on saying ...

It pains me deeply to write about anything related to the Cubs, especially after what they did to the Milwaukee Brewers last week (What the hell happened CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets?), but at least I can relate it to Chicago s Wilco. The band sang Take Me Out to the Ball Game during the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley on Monday, and Jeff Tweedy spent a half-inning in the booth talking about the band s Lollapalooza performance, growing up a Cardinals fan (Boo! Hiss!), and those ridiculous suits ...
