"Hammer Blows"! Damn, my memory failed me. That's no good. If it had been
called "Hammer Brothers," I guarantee I wouldn't have confused the title.

Nice recap.

Though I'm not sure about "dudely" ;-)

Here's a few more vids from the show:

:cool:

Thanks for the lot of Youtube videos. It's nice to have some material, it seems nyctaper's recording will be available until March of next year to coincide with the release of the album.

Visitordesign posted this tweet today:

just sent @leeranaldo an edit of PAINT IT GREEN. live at glasslands. will link as soon as it's approved.

and then a little later

PAINT IT GREEN video for lee approved! as soon as we get a better live audio source, I'll drop it in and re-upload/link.

Good news!!

Hell yeah.

OK - a little help needed.

What are the titles to these two songs?

http://youtu.be/bkXmVrqWWGo

That one has lyrics that go:

"was it something I said" and "back to you"

and this one:

http://youtu.be/LNo-KwoBm3Q

With lyrics that go:

"last night I stopped by your house, in the rain - but could see you were not at home" and makes references to "rocky top"


As far as I can work out, those two songs are either:

T.N.C.

Fire Island

Hammer Blow

or

Shouts.

Can anybody help match up the songs to the correct title?

This is shouts... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhmOZwBO01s


so they must be two of these:

T.N.C.

Fire Island

Hammer Blow

Video of "Waiting on a Dream," as shot by Mr. Habib, as seen also on Steve's Facebook as now seen here.

If Waiting on a Dream = T.N.C (title not confirmed?)

then the videos Dave is trying to identify must be Fire Island and Hammer Blow, right?

If you see which video you filmed first Dave then you will be able to work out the name from the setlist...

nyctaper's recording of Yo La Tengo at Maxwell's on December 22, including a performance of "Mote", with Lee Ranaldo lending in his wizardry:

I have edited my post. Thanks for all your hard work. :)

Hey, no problem. Happy Holidays. It was an awesome show.

Thanks Dan!

Thanks, stu666.

Makes the most sense. ;)

I'd also like to know Dave when you work it out...

Sure - I'll post when I find out.

I'm presently sending the source material to Lee. He's happy to have it all for his archives, so if anybody knows the names of the songs - you'd figure it would be him. :p

One would certainly hope.

Folks like Dave, Trick and Chris play an invaluable role in the capture and perpetuation of brilliance. I salute them with the pair of coffees I'm going to need to not fall asleep at work.

Ha! Thanks, Jenn.

I'll virtually join you with a cup of coffee myself right now.

OK - Lee in fact does know the names of his own songs :p

He got back to me with the titles.

This is one is "Fire Island (Phases)"

http://youtu.be/bkXmVrqWWGo

(though he noted that I "cut off the last section of the song" - probably because stage-jump-up-dude was bumping into me . . . )

and the second one I didn't have a title for (until now):

http://youtu.be/LNo-KwoBm3Q

"Hammer Blows"


Thanks, Lee!
