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.

Love these photos and review. So, these DJ sets are at 7:30? I don’t really get it. And are these gonna continue once the Whitney moves? And most importantly, where can I attend an “hour-long clinic on shaking ass?”

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?
