A close brush with mortality often offers a rare opportunity for perspective and retrospection. It was twenty-seven years ago that the first Yo La Tengo show took place at Maxwell’s, and Dave Rick was the bass player on that night. For Night 4 of Hanukkah 2011, Dave joined YLT for the entire set. As a result, the setlist dug all the way back to the early YLT, including their very first release, the 7″ single “The River of Water”, along with deep track “Serpentine” from 1987’s New Wave Hot Dogs. This show’s three-song climax also included a terrific version of a rare performance of “Some Kinda Fatigue” that we’re streaming below. And in an apparent acknowledgement of the theme for the night, the set’s finale was an extended and heart-wrenching version of “More Stars Than There Are In Heaven” that highlighted the shortness of life. On this particular night, we certainly enjoyed it while we can.
I recorded this set in the same manner as the previous night and the sound quality is superb. Enjoy!
