Has anyone been to one of the shows in the Freewheeling Yo La Tengo Tour?
I went to the Portland show yesterday. It was very good, although I would have preferred to see them electric. They played a lot of their older stuff, including their cover of Nuclear War by Sun Ra, which was fucking amazing by the way.
Their witty banter is quite entertaining. They thoroughly entertained the crowd.
M. Ward opened up for them. I had no idea who he was, and some guy in the restroom told me he collaborated with Bright Eyes. I thought they guy would have sucked, as I hate Bright Eyes, but he was actually really impressive. He ended up playing with them in their encore.
Overall, it was worth the $30 I paid ($20 for the ticket, $10 for Ticket Master's "convenience" fees).
So, has anyone else been?
