Yo La Tengo - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

The mastered on-air mix is what you hear and we rarely go back to re-mix. Our engineers are awesome. We remix for our annual "Live on KEXP" cd that we put out.

That solo at 26:40 is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. Maybe even my favorite ever. It has so much manic energy and is such a mess but its all calculated. Big ass respect to these guys.

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!! One of those rare bands that will never achieve the commercial success they deserve but artistically have raised the bar!!!!!! 🍻

Discovered the band while living briefly in Kentucky 1996-1998 witnessing the break-up of my marriage of 6-years. I got an apartment in the art district and basically lived close to my records, discovering a lot of indie stuff that even I was not aware of previously (which is saying a lot!). Yo La Tengo came highly recommended via indie fanzines, and quickly became one of my favorite bands, along sides Stereolab, whom I had been listening to for a few years. It's been fun going back and recollecting all of their albums on vinyl, and rediscovering the band after a 10-year lapse, during which 'time pulled my life in other directions.'

Fade is marvelous. How they can continue making music that is so intrinsically moving is beyond me.

The album "Fade" is a true work of art, start to finish, imho; all songs on it work together to strengthen it as a whole. I first heard of this band from an article in The New Yorker, a review of the album "And Then Everything Turned Itself Inside Out" (2000) which is another great album. I have always thought of Yo La Tengo as a trio of musicians working at the highest & purest level of musical achievement.

I'll be around takes me to another planet. A better planet.

So much respect for Yo La Tengo and their craft. No other modern rock band brings me to tears than these guys. Thanks @KEXP for bringing them to your studio to perform.

For almost 30 years these folks have been putting out beautiful, noisy music. Like a fine wine, they just keep getting better and better.....

I adore this album and this performance.

I sometimes forget that Ira has a really good voice and a sly droll sense of humor. Yo La Tengo should be SO much bigger and everyone should see them do 'The Story Of Jazz' live at least once!

Confession: I’ve only recently discovered these guys and am absolutely lovin them. Thanks as usual to KEXP for always having the best bands on!

His voice is just so soothing and nostalgic. Sounds like simpler times. thumbs up if u cry every time

I was in the local record store in my small(ish) town in western Canada and found Nothing Turned Itself on CD for $1. I had overlooked them forever and was happy with the find. The clerk said “I don’t want to go all High Fidelity on you, but if I put on Yo La Tengo on a Saturday I’ll ALWAYS sell a couple copies on vinyl.” I forgot about the CD for a few days and then put it in my car stereo after a great creative weekend and was just floored by the time I got to Track 3. It was the best musical experience I’ve had in years. I’m now a new fan, but excited to dive in deep.

I love Georgia's voice so much.

Wonderful set, wonderful band, sublime music.  Listening for years. x

This is superb! I've watched it four times...so far.

lot of talking, let's get down to business 01:18 I'll Be Around 07:38 The Point Of It 23:11 Ohm 32:27 Before We Run

More invention and inspiration in one song than most bands achieve in whole albums or careers ! Still the best band in the world !

Ohhh they are one of my favorites band. They live is "acojonante" incredible!!! Listen Georgia singing "My little corner of the world" is an experience who you don't lose. ..
