John remembered seeing Yo La Tengo at the Capitol Center. setlist.fm records exactly one Yo La Tengo show there, on this date, so the memory dates itself. No ticket or receipt survives. Three weeks later he was back in the same room for Andrew Bird.
The moment
By 2011 Yo La Tengo had been the best band in American indie rock for two decades and change — Hoboken's married-couple institution, capable of whisper-quiet ballads and fifteen-minute feedback storms in the same set, never fashionable and never once bad. A converted theater in Concord, New Hampshire is exactly the kind of room they've filled forever: no spectacle, no arc, just the most reliable catalog in the underground, played by people who clearly still like each other.
From the time
- Yo La Tengo
“Three decades of quiet mastery — the indie institution that never needed a moment because it was always there.”
