With the constant demands of the campaign trail, Barack is rarely home in Chicago these days. But on a Friday night last July, he made an appearance at Park West for a special concert with Jeff Tweedy, Pat Sansone, and Glenn Kotche of the band Wilco.

Jeff Tweedy:

I think that there are a lot of reasons to be involved with this campaign. It almost feels to me like a last chance to start getting things right and to start putting things on the right path towards having not only a country that reminds me of the one I feel like I grew up in, but having a country that reminds me of the one that I felt like we used to aspire to when I was growing up. This is the first time in my life that a politician has really re-awoken that spirit in people.
