A beloved band for therefore many, a buzz is actually within the air amongst the packed-out viewers, who seize on the probability to see the trio in such a uncommon, stripped-back atmosphere with each wristband-adorned arms. Yo La Tengo performed a handful of songs at a lullaby-like degree, together with the fan-requested “Autumn Sweater” and a canopy, aptly, of “The Finish of the Street” by folks icon Michael Hurley.
