Maxwell's
Hoboken, NJ
My third night in a row of Yo La Tengo. Each one just gets better and better! Jesse has the setlist here.
It seems noteworthy to document that in order to get to Hoboken you need to take the PATH, a unique experience in its own right.
Tonight, the awesome band Tortoise opened. Seeing this brute force-soaked performance of tattoo-covered percussive energy in such a small room and from right up front was...galvanizing to say the least.
Tortoise manipulated their instruments in an almost combative fashion, and yet in the service of making music that was as intricate and meticulous as any other rock n roll ever made.
Members of Tortoise also sat in during much of Yo La Tengo's set adding a new level of intensity previously not thought possible.
