On October 20th of this year, Yo La Tengo came to my fair city of Portland to play a show in support of their stellar ‘09 release Popular Songs. It was a fantastic set whose sounds ranged from dynamic to tender to ear splitting depending on the moment and I loved it. I ended up writing a review about it here and thought that would be the end of it. But I was wrong. Dum Dum Dum! So here’s the good news. I found a matrix copy (mix of soundboard, audience recording, etc) of the show and am making it available to you. Download it HERE. Hope you like it.

Oh I see. I was wondering if you were talking about the picture. Really glad you liked it. Have you checked her out yet?

Great post! Really digging the new record a lot. The Rainwater LP has some gorgeous moments - definitely recommend checking it out. There are 3 of the new songs up on the myspace page: myspace.com/citizencope

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…

Hey Merseilles did a live web show at sonicbirds office gig on Friday that was pretty spectacular. Can anyone find a copy of that?

Thank you for distributing this (and thank you for taping, whoever that was!)!
I was on a trip to Oregon from Canada when I attended this show. Unfortunately I had to leave before the encore and I’ve been dying to see what I missed. Now I can relive the amazing moments and finally hear the encore!
Cheers
Glad you got a chance to hear how it ended. I HATE it when I have to leave early. It drives me crazy.
Yeah, I didn’t want to miss the last MAX since I don’t know Portland that well. At any rate, I left after seeing Story of Yo La Tango, so I couldn’t have been any happier.
In my excitement downloading this I didn’t even realize it was a matrix… unbelievably good quality! Maybe it’s just me, but I should point out that I’m missing track 19. I see it’s just an intro but it might be missing in the zip folder you posted.
Might be mislabeled by the taper. Is there a longer intro on Sugarcube? If so, that’s the intro.
And The Story of Yo La Tengo was pretty damn good wasn’t it?
