[Harry8778]

Rest assured it's Ira Kaplan of YLT who's out of tune, not Alex Chilton. Despite Yo La Tengo having a couple of good albums back in the 90's, they've fallen into a pretentious, arrogant mindset where they think they're somehow "above" the audience, they're "indie", they're "like the velvet underground", and they've never out-grown that velvet worship. The musicianship has always been very weak. They're one of those bands that didn't realize the Velvets could REALLY play, and it wasn't an act.

[themisanthrope62]

I'm surprised you say that. Yo La Tengo, from my experience, seem very humble and unconcerned with appearing cool on stage.

[modlang23]

moron

[modlang23]

really? how interesting

[deebee76]

LX is god, Westy is also Gawd.

[ChazMatt]

[toddsantos]

[frankbooth1966]

ouch

[songwriterjo]

Alex,

you are and you always be cute and talented man.

[alexmortland]

Chilton kinda has a Woody Allen-type thing goin' on these days, doesn't he?

[kennisons77]

Faaaantastic, wish I was at any of these shows.

[bolderr]

Alex Chilton is 150 years old!

He will live forever...

[muledong]

Wake me up when it's over...

[deeeecraig]

Here's two great tastes that taste great together. I dig the Velvets, I dig Big Star, and I dig Yo La Tengo. No one plays out-of-phase Strat like W. Alex, and he rarely does it anymore. thanks for posting this clip.

[angrylambie]

f'ing excellent upload - I dig the camerawork and overall quality - thanks!!

[corm88]

the first time i heard femme fatale, I heard in my head Yo La Tengo covering it...except georgia on vox..

[DerekMcA]

I don't think Wayzataboy realises this is originally a Velvet Underground song, one of the most influential bands ever. I'm sure a lot of his favourite bands have stemmed from their influence.

[smbschrader]

Wonderful. Alex makes the wait worthwhile. Thank you redienhcs4 for posting this.

[slistone1940]

Alex is back... at least for a few months. Seems like he works only 5 or six months each year.

[Wayzataboy]

ZZzzzzzz,self-important,indy-p­ussy-rock.

[ratbasket]

yeah dude Megadeath, no wait, Pantera!

[paulsmartialarts]

You aren't even worthy to suck Alex Chilton's arsehole

[Fazolina]

eeeeeew!!!

[treefingers68]

thanks for demonstrating how little you know about music. I mean seriously, how dumb would you have to be to not know the velvet underground?

[mbaehr]

Wow.
