One of the best rock n roll shows I’ve ever been to was a Yo La Tengo show. I was like 17 and it was maybe 2001 or so, and they were playing a high school gymnasium (with pretty bad acoustics) in the middle of like February in Maine. There were maybe 40 or 50 people at the show at the most. And they absolutely tore the place down and made me a lifelong fan. They did an extended version of “I Heard You Looking” that was the most impressive display of guitar playing I’d ever seen in my life to that point. Terms like “Jewish Jimi Hendrix” were being thrown around. Never forgot that night.
I heard this song for the first time when they played it live at the Øya festival this Saturday, and it just crushed me. I’m 39 years old and I’ve been a fan of this band for 15+ years, I can’t believe a 28 years old song could surprise and overwhelm me like this. So incredibly sweet, sad, nostalgic, romantic and beautiful. I love this band so much.
As a person who lived in Boston for a long time, I got to see Yo la Tengo many times. I got to look them all in the eye, and smile, and I can say they are all the nicest coolest humans in the worlllld, esp Georgia. Once she said she liked my tennis shoes
One of the best and most underappreciated bands ever to exist! Your music is still fire. Every song jams no matter the era. Thank you for filling my life with such blessings. You have my eternal gratitude and well wishes.
I saw Yo La Tengo open for the dBs in 1985 and they really sucked. That YLT became such an amazing and wonderful band is a testament to what fearlessness, conviction, determination, and intelligence can do. Inspiring.
@@AkilesVaestha The dB's were in the same early '80s indie music scene as Yo La Tengo and a few members performed with Yo La Tengo. Gene Holder was the band's bassist, and eventually played bass for Yo La Tengo and produced a few of their albums & EPs.
Great tribute to an excellent actor. Two films I like to recommend: The Loneliness Of The Longdistance Runner, a subversive film about a borstal boy finding his way of fighting the system. The second one is The Dresser,, a very subtle, yet very powerful characterisation of an actor and his assistant and their dependence on each other.
No one like them. Never will be. Great American band. Rock n' roll hall of Shame is a mean farce. No X, Yo La Tengo, NrBQ, Replacements, Minutemen, Husker Du... what a fucking rock n roll joke. Yo La were , are and will always be the Mission of Burma of the last two decades. Undefinable, unaffected and PURE ELECTRA.
I love this song , one of my favs. Who the fuck came up with the idea to white wash it. Keeping it metaphorical, maybe. Make it mystical, I can see that, but this... It totally disparages the truth of this experience. I am so insulted as a fan
@@ValCronin Like, anthemic songs. Big anthems, like, Guided By Voices songs. They're a great band. Arena rock makes you feel "strong". Just like, songs with energy and boldness. I used to really like Yo LA Tango when I was younger. But now that I'm older, I can't get into it. (Plus, I was just being snarky)

Few things in life i have truly loved or indeed have moved me as much as this song still does
One of my favorite song of all time. Great to watch this video again in greater definition.
god i love yo la tengo so much

lovely to see the dBs showing up in casual conversation
It's funny. There are a few bands I HATED and then loved, exactly the same way
@@bhr788 what band is dBs?

You post the same shit everywhere
Ah, I remember buying this CD at Circuit City in Columbia, MO. A great day. A great album.
I love you so much guys! ❤❤❤ Cheers from Argentina!
Still love this song, I dont know after how many years...
Qué recuerdos!!! Me lo compré hace 21 años, Electropura. Tom Courtenay, Blue Line Swinger...classic
Chile, Santiago, i was on LSD for my first time but that don't make me loose the concert at all... so was very wonderful and really special 🐱
best song ever...
followed an earworm and here i am. love this song.
Perfect song!
I love this video so much
Conheci esta banda e esta música num cd triplo da Matador,um boxe cinza,anos 90.
Saudades da minha adolescência e juventude
eu também tenho esse triplo cinza...grandes anos 90....eu conheci os YLT nas bandas sonoras dos filmes do Hal Hartley.....
the video is brilliant and the song is satisfying to hear
Love this tune! I used to think it was Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth singing. YLT!!!!👍
same they sound so alike
@@teddyrannila4424You posted a comment on TH-cam that pointlessly pits two musicians against each other for no reason! Congrats!
yo los amo. preciosos.
Forever giving me chills

In the fossil record, scientists will find this is the missing link between Pavement and My Bloody Valentine.
Yeah!
best history outro...
Amazing!
Los amo

Finally!!
I was at this show
Is that Glenn Branca in the beginning on the phone?
perfect pop, YLT style..extra points for name-checking julie christie and eleanor bron.
Raise your hand if you are looking for the lucky charm.
Lol this video is so funny.

💫🎶✨🐱✨🎶💫
¡¡¡Yo La Tengo!!!
ralphthemoviemaker's best performance to date
Where would we be without Yo La Tengo?
am not crying yes you are crying son
Hey , Some of us remember hoping the Beatles would reunite right on up to Johns death ! Are you a mod or a rocker - a Mocker !
Hold out for the Rutles guys.
Amusing video but like the song .
This is not a bot
That's exactly what a bot would say.
post post punk
that agent would grow up to be gene belcher
th-cam.com/video/Wo42o5WGQt0/w-d-xo.html heard this version 1st so I guess it'll always be my favorite version
So, did Ira ever give the slimy booking agent an answer or just keep telling him that he had a call on another line that he needed to answer first?

What I really wanna know is how much you had to pay Marshall Crenshaw to appear as an extra in this video?!
;^}
0:59 mac demarco is that you?

I liked this better before I watched this video. I think I heard this back in 2000 or late 90s
This music makes me feel weak and cringey
I understand
What kind of music makes you feel strong? honestly asking
@@ValCronin Like, anthemic songs. Big anthems, like, Guided By Voices songs. They're a great band. Arena rock makes you feel "strong". Just like, songs with energy and boldness.

Js(“””bobby-schlomeo”””) really do be grubbing for money lol 🤣
Question: In the opening and closing sequences, what app was used to make Ira look like a 13-year-old? Thank you.
Pure Rock'n'Roll, that's what
