"This was the second night in a row where Yo La Tengo played with no guest collaborator, and their set opened with the quiet version of "Big Day Coming" and included "Autumn Sweater," "Deeper Into Movies," "Satellite," covers of The Dixie Cups' "Gee, The Moon Is Shining Bright" and Wilco's "If I Ever Was a Child," and more before launching into the fast version of "Big Day Coming," and closing with "Mushroom Cloud of Hiss" and "Dream Away.""
"For the encore, Ira, Georgia and James welcomed Norah Jones, who joined them for another Dixie Cups cover, "I'm Gonna Get You," as well as Randy Newman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today." Norah also did her own "Carry On," followed by Yo La Tengo's "Tears Are In Your Eyes," then Norah's "Little Broken Hearts" before closing out Night 5 with Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight.""
"It was another great night of music and laughs at Night 5 of Yo La Tengo's annual Hanukkah celebration at Bowery Ballroom. James McNew made the Night 5 mix CD, Matt Clarke was the post-show DJ, and proceeds from the show benefited Just Making A Change For Families. Check out photos from Night 5 by Ellen Qbertplaya, plus the setlist (via Jesse Jarnow's Frank & Earthy blog)."
