I love Ira's later lapse into guitar-playing histrionics in this video...his guitar was always more like a ouija board or something...and he just rides it and rides it...
The version played in this video is particularly awesome, but there's a similar (studio) version on the Today is the Day EP (out of print, but you can find used copies and MP3 downloads on Amazon and probably elsewhere).
Apenas estoy empezando a escuchar a este grupo, pero tengo suficiente como para decir que es una gran banda, esta canción es totalmente perfecta, puedo escucharla una y otra vez y no aburre.
yo la tengo kicks ass!! best of the best. there's no band in the world that sounds like yo la tengo. Ira made me the guitar player I'm right now. Y si AGUANTE YO LA TENGO CARAJO!! Y QUE VENGAN A LA ARGENTINA TAMBIEN!!
Wow. I agree with that completely. I saw them live at Cain's in Tulsa, OK. I was right next to the stage. Watching and listening to Ira do "The Story of Yo La Tango" was, like you said, one of the coolest experiences of my life!
For a ridiculously amazing experience, first listen to the album version of this song--just search "Today Is the Day" and play the video with the beach scenes--and then come back and listen to this version. Delightful.
The bassist is always so handsome, though I prefer him with a little face-fur. The others are, of course, also brilliant (saw them at a Jonathan Richman concert in 2005 in the audience - one of the highlights of my NYC trip).
this band is the best of the fuckin' world!!! and this song... oh god! is so beautiful!!!! : )... simplly awesome... AGUANTE YO LA TENGO, CARAJOOO!!!!!
Amazon mp3 downloads? Yeah i 'll go right ahead and do that. And then maybe ill start paying for porno, and maybe even purchase a movie ticket...........oh wait all that shit is free. Thx intewebs!!!!!
anyone know what album has this version of the song? And seriously Ive looked around and nothing else seems to come close to rocking this hard in their entire catalog. what the deal?

This is simply one of the most amazing television performances of all time. Every time I see it I get shivers running down my spine. Just beautiful.
2004. Man those were the days. I could still buy bread.
Can you buy bread now? 😢
How about now?
@@mainmaines I'm wondering about now, I mean right now ...
This is one of the happiest things that has ever been and ever will be.

Rocking version of my favourite song of theirs.
I hope this video is never taken off youtube. I swear i'm gonna see em'every chance i get until they play this one. But i did see them do Demons!!!
Brutal!!!
HERMOSO!!
Melhor que a versão de estúdio, magnífico!
Just beautiful.
I saw them at the Xpondential Music Festival in Camden, NJ, and they were awesome. I was looking forward to that show, and it came into expectations.
What a band!

Nice one! Thanks for posting
after the commercial break, McEnroe strapped on a guitar and played Beat on the Brat with Yo La. Good Schtuff.
Yes, in the EP called Today is the day, which is a great EP.
Esto es sencillamente excelente!!!!!
she's fantastic
nice performance
still awesome !!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy how time flies
this video changed my life

Wonderful trip...

Great!!
I prefer the original version.
This was the first Yo La Tengo song I've ever heard.
muy buena!
There was the Today is the Day EP released after Summer Sun that has this song.
Algun dia en Lima... Por favor
Tu la tienes, ella la tiene, nosotros la tenemos, ellos la tienen, YO LA TENGO la lleva!
John MacEnroe can do everything!
WOMAN, LEFTY, LEAD SINGER, DRUMMER.
good sond yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
haha mcenroe's totally smug-mug intro. love it
HOLY GUITAR SOLO, BATMAN! (3:17)
yo la tengou
Check out the Today is the Day single...it has this fast version of the song
la lleva esta banda, puta que lata no hayan mas vídeos.
damn that dude fuckin rocked that guitar. respect.
McCarren Pool NYC this afternoon 2;00 pm FREEE I'll be there
It's on the Today Is the Day EP.
She is cool!
true marvel of what we call art? ; p
i wouldn't surprised if this was either ira or georgia posting this.
The version they play is from the Today is the Day single
They sure have something
Fucking awesome
Lisboa
we gonna have to take this out to the street !!? :-)
But Georgia has to learn to sing and play at the same time. Bad mic control; love this song.
how I get this song? is an EP? because i know a version slow, that is in the summer sun; is nice but this is so much better! someone tell me please.
god
they fuckin bring the pain
I love Yo La Tengo!
Where can I get this version of today is the day though?
@dirtmerchant1980 Yeah its of six song EP called Today is the day. Hard to find which is sad cos i agree their finest moment
They got their name from watching Spanish baseball. They heard an outfielder running to catch a fly ball calling out "yo la tengo! yo la tengo!"
cool...
como alguém pode não ter gostado desse video, dessa música, dessa performance???
nice introduction by mcenroe... :)
me too
BigMac introducing YLT, crankin' it up on CNBC; since when has the world become a better place?
me too - what is it, - that I can hear? It's a classic - if U ask me.
@dalls1983 en Octubre vienen a Chile :D
@StoryWB truely underrated would be like 200 views
that is why they went to the rock school. ;)
Yup. It's from a baseball story involving... fuck. Better look it up. It's written on wikipedia, too, i think.
Amazon mp3 downloads? Yeah i 'll go right ahead and do that. And then maybe ill start paying for porno, and maybe even purchase a movie ticket...........oh wait all that shit is free. Thx intewebs!!!!!
maestra, Georgia
Guitarist sounds like Jonny Greenwood on Pablo Honey/Bends!
Bear geeks, represent! :)
@allweezzz The guitar style is more like Sonic Youth than Nirvana. That's a "she" on the drums
@allweezzz You're joking, right? Either way, I'm in tears over your comment.
Anyone know where I can find the rest of this episode, or the part with Kevin Kline?
It can be translated like that too. It depends of what they mean.
anyone know what album has this version of the song? And seriously Ive looked around and nothing else seems to come close to rocking this hard in their entire catalog. what the deal?
the "today is the day" EP
Yo la tengo means "I get it"
I have it
wow fucking seriously he can play the guitar.
John Mcenro had a tv show??
if I remember right it lasted 6 weeks
who the shit gave McEnroe a show?
I too cringe whenever he says anything in this video.
You cannot be serious! (Sorry, couldn't resist)
Was totally worth it for just this performance.
Wait, is that Chris Berry playing the bass?
@dirtmerchant1980 Today is the Day EP
the album version is no great at all (as the whole album), but the way they played it at the show... it's amazing!
Ira is GOD
bitchin solo.
