Yo La Tengo tickets New York

From precious to sonic blasts

I came a little late. The show was interesting as the band took a 10-15 minute break in the middle of their set. The first half was a little too precious at times with the drummers plaintive voice that one could barely discern as opposed to the guitarist whose voice was clear through the languid and repetitive melodies. The second half was louder and definitely got the crowns more up. Though, the squalls that some of the songs fell into got tired and obvious. Though the rhythm and melodies on some of the songs were gorgeous.
The crowd, looked sold-out and was of various ages which was pleasantly surprising.
A solid show but not great from a legendary band.
