This is my first Yo La Tengo gig. I was blown away.
I was standing right in front of Ira, while he played his guitar like crazy.
I'm sure I haven't seen anyone who plays guitar the way he does.
Probably no one does. Ira is a guitar god.
Especially in a fuzzy epic jam like Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind.
I also love how they play acoustics songs.
Like, The Crying of Lot G, I'm On My Way, and Today is The Day
Slow, melancholy, and beautiful.
There were moments when I could feel my tears coming out.
All of them sing, and sing so well.
I think I love Yo La Tengo more now, after seeing them live.
