The best band in the world

[@mertkaygusuz5512]

20th minute of this video makes me hung on a moment where I was happy, free and innocent... Humble, elegant, pure musical sincerity in the finest level... God bless you.

[@fugamante1539]

"If you like bands that suck you are going to hate this band"

[@jeffbeamer9882]

Hey! It's John McEnroe! :-)

[@andresmiller5269]

amazing guitar solo!

[@andresmiller5269]

Yo La Tengo is where the heart is

[@Giantcappuccino]

Something so incredible about "For You Too", like being transported back to 1994.

[@mmundle941]

One of my favorite songs, needs more love

[@steveadams2576]

Indeed😊

[@Timinator257]

How can you not be mesmerized by this band!?

[@micahb2627]

“For you, too” is majestic.

[@marjubi1]

It's such a beautiful song ...

[@ThePsychedelicWave]

just thought so. wow.

[@dhruvboghey3255]

♥️

[@mvg952]

I am only about 16 minutes into this, thought I'd enjoy some jams while folding laundry... I am devastated... such beautiful music

[@austinsideburns]

Can't belive they have been going so long, their sound has aged like a fine wine. Those song transitions though 😍

[@pdg887]

Heard the opening drone, hit "like." Love these guys. They haven't lost a single step.

[@osianllyr6361]

46:58 Ira walks over to the drum set for one (1) cymbal hit

[@sergiostabinsky4627]

jajajaj ja crazy genius

[@cogniktive1147]

It cannot be overstated just how good this band is and how much I love them. They have their own distinct YLT sound regardless of song or album or era.

[@pjr5913]

these guys blow sonic old out of the water any day

[@oscarperez7679]

Ellos la tienen

[@franciscotomasmendezmatura4796]

Oscar Perez JAJAA la weaa xD la tienes ;)

[@padiyanki]

Sisas

[@zarahsantoshernandez9122]

Ellos la tienen, tú la tienes, Todos la tenemos

[@sethmoore8484]

seguro.

[@mcbassguitar9899]

I really enjoy watching Georgia play drums... :-)

[@ms.genevievehennacy]

Listening to this at my next Spravato appt, thanks Max

[@DjWellDressedMan]

29 Years ago and about 30 seconds into “Barnaby, Hardly Working” and I wanted only more. Yo La Tengo is the example of how an amazing band produces pure Music, and yet stays local.

[@mantra3000]

Listening to them and seeing them play you could easily forget how damn fucking hard it is to sound so good live.

[@duncanwcraig9668]

new zealander in australia here. farking love YLT what a band got introduced to them in 2008 in nyc. seen them live down under.

[@andresjacome296]

this session should be on vinyl

[@daddymoon666]

Met these beautiful artists in New Mexico... Beautiful Band and Beautiful People...

[@squareinsquare2078]

The greatest of all the bands. Pure magic.

[@wtburns01]

Just caught them in Omaha a week ago. Story of Yo la Tengo to end the rock set. Was this epic, mebbe more.

[@perfectblackswan]

So much better on stage with all their loops in the background... They should perfom this way way more often, I wish they would...

[@pj_day]

greatest band in the world

[@ignatzly]

obvs

[@keatonlindsey1681]

Yo La Tengo have achieved mastery of their craft. Sounding the best they ever have, and showing that there is still room for experimentation and new sound in the finely worn niche that is their domain

[@patricksanders6597]

This video is my happy place.

[@nathjcaldeira]

i love them so much 😭 fell in love when I was 16, in 2014. went to their concert the same year and never looked back. they really marked all of my adolescence and they are such great, amazing musicians.

[@Jeff_____]

I love this band so much!

[@christianlesurfmusic]

This was my first exposure to Yo La Tengo, and this album still remains to be my favourite. While other people will prefer their more acclaimed albums (I Can Hear the Heart, Electr-O-Pura, And Then Nothing etc) this album struck a chord with me in a way not many other albums have. We love you Yo La Tengo

[@davidyohalem629]

They come as such a surprise that I think everyone loves their album of first exposure best. For me, it was Electro-Pura when it was hot off the presses. Recommended by a small CD shop in Madison, Wisconsin called the B-side. "You should really listen to this," said the knowledgeable dropout clerk. So I did.

[@bmx3347]

I love that they use an old school ipod for the beat in the second song!

[@IndiErik]

they've been my favorite band since I discovered them in 1995. So consistent with seemingly endless creativity and ideas!

[@davidyohalem629]

Electro-pura was my favorite disc that year. Found it in a hole-in-the-wall music shop in Madison, WI called the B-side.

[@syllablesavvy]

The first nine minutes are total bliss.

[@gurrgurr1023]

To me they are the perfect band. I love this so much.

[@chezdodo8619]

Agreed! They're incredible.

[@ursakayak]

I've seen them live in '92, '93, '03, and haven't fully appreciated them until now. Go figure.

[@Itsyrm8]

Welcome to the pain

[@stanleypratt3383]

I absolutely adore this band. They are amazing.

[@yellowclouds3722]

Forever blows me away, so pure, intense & deep. Best song i know about getting older in a relationship

[@FERMUSICA]

I prefer this than the album, they are just great performers!!! The energy that they had in in this and the transitions between songs really make it something exceptional and amazing, it is also excellent to sleep to

[@jtn191]

This is one of my favorite YLT recordings. Up there with I Am Not Afraid...

[@denisvertinsky7628]

So here we go. One of my favorite bands from 80's and 90's.

[@andygarcia4960]

Ira has aged so well. He even wears the same clothes he prob wore in 1987

[@micahnewman]

Can't believe he's 61.

[@tymmac007]

That shirt IS from 1987!!

[@elbowspeak]

I saw them in '88 and can confirm

[@CurrieNerd]

Don't most of us wear the same clothes as 1987??

[@duncansamways1363]

One of the best bands around. Got tickets to two shows in May.

[@avisualdevice8803]

seeing 'em in September!

[@darylcumming7119]

Thanks even with inappropriate ads in the middle of the songs.

[@davidjennystudentshortfilm3010]

Love these guys! For my money Painful is one of the most underrated records of all time!

[@alixchi]

100% agreed

[@calwiggums3319]

Can't wait for Spring Tour! Really psyched to hear the new tunes.. This performance is a real treat, so thanks to all who helped put this together.. Yo La Tengo are truly the most under-rated band; such a distinctive & original back catalog.. And yes, _Painful_ has never recieved any of the due credit it deserves. I highly recommend everyone interested to catch 'em live in person. The way the trio switch between instruments during their set is really something to experience. Such a brilliant band.

[@yummyjackalmeat]

I liked yo la tengo casually in high school (late 90s early 2000s). I picked up painful and didn't get it. it sat in my big ol CD case for a few years, when i needed ylt in my life i wanted to listen to "i can feel our hearts..."but a few years into adulthood after some tough times and heartbreak, I popped in Painful and experienced such extacy (no drugs involved). That first track alone...beautiful. It's now my fav ylt album

[@nervousbreakdowns2135]

4 words. I HEARD YOU LOOKING

[@sonicgrub]

Nailed It!

[@royalewcheese11]

Wow! That was a sonic experience.

[@jonnymac481]

I love the delicate vocal over the merge of sounds coming from these guys, superb work and great use of knowing when to play and when not too.

[@Darrylizer1]

Mr. Kaplan's new combo was the surprise hit of the parent-teacher conference!

[@cogniktive1147]

Didn't even let the video play. Already hammered that thumbs up.

[@Koettnylle]

Shit, i forgot how much i love their music

[@dariuszwolnica6982]

Slucham od roku, i dalej nie ma konca. Pozdro dla wszystkich fanow.

[@vermeulendils]

Yo La Tengo = still Genius + Love

[@nizzla12]

These guys just don't age. Love them.

[@vanmahler6282]

When i first saw Y.L.T. live i"m on LSD but it was a very strange and happy trip :)

[@sadpoppony]

[@shoppingamericanarecording5808]

[@Ocean-vp3ow]

[@toharzamir7948]

stellar performace of You Are Here

[@kingblee1]

I've just sat mesmerized for an hour...amazing talent! They don't seem to visit the deep south---so this is probably as close to live as I will ever see them--Thanks guys!

[@briandooley9756]

this is what every band who played at the end of the new Twin Peaks season whished they sound like haha. Yea these guys r great

[@shorthands6082]

[@johncallahan6401]

Brilliance. Like meeting up with an old friend...

[@francescoranfagni2082]

Music for the others..we are others...let all our children know this...our nephews ....so as not disperse the music

[@greensombrero3641]

What a fantastic group and the music takes me somewhere unfamiliar but bueno vista.

[@annereid8901]

[@TonyGmaroc]

[@davidhanna8470]

[@imjacksusername]

[@nickharling4402]

Absolutely sublime!

[@martinvoltage9393]

So increíbles los amo mucho 💖 💕

[@sbingham1979]

Love this band. Loved their album "Fade" -- something about the sounds of their music makes me want to cry: in a good way -- like a mix of melancholia and joy.

[@ronggearrob9622]

Love YLT and this set!

[@brittonlumpkin9227]

Yo La Tengo is God's house band.

[@TKLy-xt5ws]

[@Nazzz65]

Georgia and Ira: Behind every great guitarist...

[@Koettnylle]

...there's a powerful amp

[@bigfatmel74]

00:00 You Are Here 10:05 Forever 16:25 For You too 23:12 Shades of Blue 27:45 Let's Do It Wrong 32:05 She May, She Might 37:20 jam sesh into Out of Pool 39:30 Out of Pool 44:40 Ashes 51:00 Here You Are (not sure if the outro song will have a smooth small start around 49:10) i took random stabs at guessing these song proper starts-they're phasing each song into the next as they switch instruments onstage. i highly recommend experiencing it like this. it's the entire new album, so excited for it

[@johntbd]

bigfat mel Thanks Mel. I have been trying to make chapter markers without luck. Any help? Thanks again.

[@bigfatmel74]

not sure if i have the power, seems that Pitchfork used my markers in the description so I guess I'm right? i edited it again with other markers I saw in the comments

[@anon4449]

thank you!

[@anon4449]

[@unarrosalforn]

La magia de la música pululando

[@Ca-se-passe-la-hautFr]

Yo La Tengo s'avère être le meilleur groupe des années 1990, 2000 et 2010.... pour ne pas dire 2020. Ce live est vraiment excellent.

[@jeffbeamer9882]

Hey! That's French! :-)

[@jeffbeamer9882]

Many thanks. Got my tickies to the SOLD OUT show in ATL. Color me excited.

[@micahnewman]

Wonderful. This makes up a little for their not coming to Texas on tour this year.

[@mariscalperfumo4710]

for you too ♥

[@hagharris7030]

Incredible band, diverse, sharp and always got a few surprises up their colective sleeves. Gutted to have missed them recently due to Covid. Plenty of time to listen though.

[@ascendxpress]

Amazing!

[@horseshoulder]

OH MY GOOOOOOOD

[@hectoralfonsotovar9568]

If I wish I was in a band I will be with them

[@jacksonwarren8193]

[@CurrieNerd]

Good luck :)

[@tucoe5567]

should be a big challenge

[@mhunter925]

In my family, we call them “Ira shirts.”

[@fabiozantomio7257]

Are you kidding? He's been wearing the same striped shirt, blue jeans and all-stars for the past 35 years

[@CurrieNerd]

Haven't we all...??
