What a great live video. I saw these guys live in like 2002 in a gymnasium in Maine in the middle of winter, with maybe 50-60 people in the audience at the most. I had only heard their album “Fakebook” and sincerely thought I was going to an acoustic show, so imagine how I felt when I saw Ira do THIS for 10 minutes, despite the lack of crowd, putting goddamn everything into that guitar. Totally unforgettable and it certainly made me a lifetime fan, that was 22 years ago and I still vividly remember it.
Can't help getting goosebumps every time. Too incredible for words. Ira literally just makes love to his guitar for all to see and hear, and it's just incredible and so appropriate for the song's title. This is the most beautiful kind of music....
Haha at the end the feedback is still open for him and he's like pondering what to do with it next. I swear he channels that sound like a wizard. From slower drones like in Big Day Coming (opener) to stuff like this and beyond.
every time i listen this song i break down and cry. it's like their loving what their doing... they're the anti-rock pose band and they're full of rock... just stoning, dude, just stoning...
My all time fav of Yo La Tengo. My childhood home i St M. You guys are great. I was too shy to speak at the Satellite Lounge in Houston but I'll always have that memory of opening that back door an looking in on you guys.
Great song. They were just amazing in the early to mid 90s. They are still amazing now, but this was their peak. I have seen them many times and this song, Stockholm Syndrome, Motel 6, Blue Line Swinger and We're an American Band are some of the greatest live songs ever. It is great seeing Ira spaz out when he solos also.
What a staple this song is! How it always manages to circle back to that incredibly catchy riff after going berserk. And what a performance! Would love to see them live one day!
is this how falling in love sounds like
WOW! YES!!!
If you’re lucky
Yes it does sound like this
This is the gratest shit in the rock history. It means a lot of energy, power, attitude and soul. This song means rock n' roll.
It's true, no matter who comes out or what I listen to nothing ever knocks yo la tengo out of my #1 spot

Killer ending for a gorgeous album. Painful is their best album, in my opinion.
yep agree with electr-o-pura also ! :)
Easily
far and away
nah, it's just true love between man and his guitar. ;)
I believe James' smile around 5:50 is one of the best human moments ever to be caught on film.

Holy shit, I was at that show. I did talk to them at their merch table and they were so nice.
Esta es la madre más noventera que he escuchado hasta hoy
One of my favorite songs of all time. I love the studio version and the live version of this song.
Seen them on this tour in the UK only having heard 'hearts'. Absolutely blown away, been my favourite band since.

An d i found them....last week....and love it
The buildup that starts around 4:09, develops into a whole new language of emotion around 4:56 and resolves around 5:14 is just… 😭
You guys did the Satellite Lounge in Houston. I was there in front. I opened the back door but was too shy to speak. You are awesome.
at 5:04, my heart exploded.
.....and with that one familiar, eternal song the Universe came into being....resonating all possible harmonics of that original chord.
Hear fkn Hear!!!!
this is insane, i love it
siempre vengo acá cuando me siento de buen humor❤
One of my very favorite instrumental tracks when i was growing up, GREAT sound!
Yo La Tengo joins Teenage Fanclub and Bedhead as one of the only (primarily) 90s bands that can make me teary
This is how finding inner peace feels.
Wow can't believe I've just now hearing this band they are beyond words love the power they put into their songs love em
this is ROCK
magnum opus - i love yo(u) la tengo
I’m crying
Best band ever. Really!!
Incredible
