Big Star drummer Jody Stephens, the only living member of the seminal power pop band’s original lineup, sat in with Wilco on Saturday night. The performance took place at Mud Island Amphitheatre in Stephens’ hometown of Memphis, TN. Stephens emerged at the start of the band’s encore of a take on one of Big Star’s signature songs, “In the Street,” with Wilco bassist John Stirratt supplying a rare lead vocal. The drummer returned at the end of the encore for “Hoodoo Voodoo.” The latter song also featured the members of Purling Hiss, who opened the show, on electric guitar and percussion.

Wilco covered Big Star’s “Thirteen” on the classic tribute album Big Star Small World and have performed the band’s music live on many occasions over the years. The members of Wilco have also played a few tribute shows with Stephens since the death of Big Star’s Alex Chilton in 2010. Stephens also sat in with Wilco Memphis, TN’s Beale Street Music Festival last spring.
