Yo La Tengo with Dave Schramm (Troy Savings Bank)
Billed as an acoustic show, presumably to scare off those who expected 15 minute feedback solos, but Dave Schramm plugged in his informed guitar to make the evening exceptional.

Thanks again to Mark Gamsjager for booking shows like this making the Capital District a better place.
As with the winter show in Northampton, less people showed up than I would have expected. Good for those of us who did. Thao and the Get Down Stay Down opened quickly dragging skeptics out of the lobby. You have 5 days to see the Austin City Limits show here.
Music because it’s good. Mostly the rain missed the musical events, but the Saturday overnight at Solid Ground was… um… rough. There was a tent graveyard at the exit Sunday morning.
Missing from the photos is Nels Cline improvising with Norton William’s Stained Radiance; a live painting dance happening. It was un-photographable. Also missing are the Felice Brothers because my lens focused on the rain, not the stage, and the last act Tweedy because I was, sorry, saturated.
The 400 Unit. With Craig Finn opening.
Finally a show that sounded good. Looked good too. Mostly covered the new album Carrie and Lowell.
