On October 20th of this year, Yo La Tengo came to my fair city of Portland to play a show in support of their stellar '09 release Popular Songs. It was a fantastic set whose sounds ranged from dynamic to tender to ear splitting depending on the moment and I loved it. I ended up writing a review about it here and thought that would be the end of it. But I was wrong. Dum Dum Dum! So here's the good news. I found a matrix copy (mix of soundboard, audience recording, etc) of the show and am making it available to you. Download it HERE. Hope you like it.
