Yo La Tengo appeared Friday night at the Music Hall for the final night of their “Freewheeling Tour”. The band fielded questions, requests and general banter from the audience, and responded with humor and some interesting song selections and performed a primarily acoustic concert. The highlights included Georgia’s beautiful cover of Dylan’s 4th Time Around, and the humorously persistent audience member’s request for Blue Line Swinger–which was eventually granted (Ira: “Is that Fred Armisen?”).

The recording of this concert was a difficult affair. This was my first event at the Music Hall, and I gravitated towards the balcony for a better view and more direct line to the PA speakers. Unfortunately, the acoustic nature of the concert, drastic variations in volume, and the inattentive nature of the balcony crowd created certain impediments to a clear recording. At times, this recording can be outstanding, at other times, the stage volume is too low and the ambient noise too great. Overall, its a nice listen of an interesting concert, and the apparently the only circulated recording of this mini-tour. Enjoy!

    You’re too modest - this sounds great to me, inattentive balcony crowd or no. And there’s nothing like getting to download a recording just 24 hours after getting home from the show itself. Thanks!

    I am wrong about this being the only recorded Freewheeling show. Bradley’s Almanac recorded the Boston show:

    Thank you so much! I’ve waited til the first day of Hanukkah to listen to that – great - show. The sound is really good, actually, you can be proud. I’m looking forward to the Maxwell’s Hanukkah gig (Dec. 6)right here. And can never get enough of the Fiery Furnaces. Kudos to you from Paris, France…
