Yo La Tengo - Today Is The Day (Live on McEnroe) (4:3 Aspect)

Yo La Tengo performing on John McEnroe's short lived CNBC television show in 2004. Ripped from my original VHS I taped from TV when it originally aired. Sony SLV-N77 VHS recorder to iMovie via a Canopus Digital Video Converter.

Best opening line ever

100%

Never knew Georgia was a lefty drummer. What a legend.

[@beakyfree7023]

Georgia has such a calming voice

[@Giantcappuccino]

Every band that thinks about "performing live" on SNL or any other show needs to watch this video prior.

[@lizclarke8570]

What a talent Georgia is, ive seen YLT a few time’s in the U.K. and they’ve never disappointed

[@giveusmoonrocks]

The guitar part gets me every time on the album. This performance though is different in its style but still hits hard just the same.

[@hellowhirled]

lots of old comments of people saying “the album version is better what is this”...they recorded this too. Today is the Day EP, good version

[@atti_tube]

didn't find it until after i saw this video years back. i absolutely love it, and the other, slower version. also didn't care much for this live performance at first, but it's grown on me over time lol

[@sonial1839]

Rock version is waaaaay better. The other one is good but too mellow. This one is pure sad energy that breaks into your body and makes a party of two and leave you tired and nostalgic (at first you were nostalgic only).

[@TheFilmsKaper]

Damn, Ira is a beast!

[@practicallyunconscious8043]

I just noticed when you left this comment.
I hope you're alive and well. A lot happens in 7 years.🙏

[@PennsylvaniaHistoryBuff]

Love this faster version. The original is a favorite YLT tune.

[@hauntedamplifier8768]

I LOVE YO LA TENGO!!!

[@gabrielmartinez4286]

I think this version sounds better than the original, due to the guitar riff. What do you think? :O

[@juancitolimon8743]

ganas de llorar

[@olivergrgic2658]

They are very talented.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

I forgot that Johnny Mac had a talk show!!

[@stefanor8965]

ottima interpretazione, peccato che la qualità dell'audio non sia buona

[@chrlymartinez7663]

Yo la tengo!,tengo el poder!

[@theZflip]

So beautiful

[@d.r.carroll6231]

Its funny I watched this show every day when it was on…I didn't know its ratings were so low. Kind of like being at Altamont and having a great time... unaware that Hell's Angels were beating people up near the stage

[@storksforever2000]

That fucking solo

[@tbwatch88]

mad good.

[@MED0]

People looking like "what the fuck he's doing?" hahahha priceless

[@frensunited3748]

YLT > sonic youth

[@bugosestfire]

Hands fucking down 🔥

[@kpo38XD]

[@steviemanning7483]

I watched this 😎

[@torgo42]

[@neliguerrero425]

Yo la tengo❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@ceeemm1901]

Yep....nobody wanted to watch Johnny if he didn't have a meltdown in 5 minutes....

[@annereid8901]

love

[@draft1643]

better than the studio version imho

[@ME-ru4hv]

jazzmasters + indi musician + tv camera ALWAYS equals a spazz-out.
that being said the original is beautiful; this not so much iMho. (so there)

[@HugoDeRueda]

Mamalon!!!!!

[@peterclifford8305]

I want to jam with these guys if they come back to Aust!!

[@shonnahundley4592]

Thats what happened magneto when he came to see us

[@666supercaca]

great :3!

[@sonial1839]

Rock version>>>>>> mellow version

[@jorgedebracamonte6350]

Pero dime qué tienes??? Qué es lo que tienes?? No entiendo

[@NigerianSeafood]

i love this performance but god the mixing leaves a lot to be desired imo, the bass could've stood to be a little quieter and goeorgia's voice definitely shoul've been louder!

[@emoedison]

RONG.

[@NigerianSeafood]

@@emoedison on second thought I think the bass is perfect but georgia's voice is definitely waaay too quiet

[@emoedison]

@@NigerianSeafood she’s a much stronger singer these days - 90s Georgia was likely hard to mix well given her vocal shyness and ambient noise from the drums.

[@ponytrotamundos]

[@poiu9876100]

good

[@calcadao]

Singing and playing at same time....so dificult

[@johnbailey5586]

Guy needs a better mic.....or P.A...system.....

[@shonnahundley4592]

Check mate inside joke

[@shonnahundley4592]

Aw..im tired of their live records when are they gonna start putting their studio records on tv

[@shanerothery]

+Shonna Hundley Huh?

[@evileaten]

this is a studio version YOU FOOL.

[@smarkbusters]

This is the most profoundly awful performance of any kind of art that I've ever seen; utterly devoid of talent and anything vaguely musical.

[@jacklewis6017]

Because God forbid anyone that actually dislikes utter crap.

[@storksforever2000]

you're kinda cute bro

[@smithereenss5840]

SmarkBusters Lmao I was going to you serious until I saw how much you watch pro wrestling. how did you even get here? stick to mtv

[@xouat]

Lehnehrd Skehnerhd!!!

There are those who can and those who critique. I can play a guitar just not professionally. The irony is I never . . . never find myself viewing Linkin Park or Korn or Creed videos. Somehow this yahoo sees YLT and says yes I will listen to a no name band, only the cool kids know about. I can see what he means about being devoid of talent but playing a guitar is unlike most other things in life. In a thousand years nobody even wants to do what Kaplan does. No bodies thrown under buses. Dave Matthews does things on a guitar I could only dream of. But the end result does not impress me. Should I be drug out into the street and shot? Wrestling is male soap opera. Just as hacky, just as deprived of substance. I would add wrestling to this next list:
Because I think Denis Leary said it best when he said "I'm an asshole & proud of it" I like football & porno & books about war. I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor. Thank Zeus' beard we are allowed to have different standards. = )
