Yo La Tengo - 93-11-14 Reynolds Club, Chicago, IL A 46
Notes: 11/14/93 - 46 minutes Afternoon acoustic set (YLT played the Lounge Axe the same night). Great recording, somewhat bizarre set. "Big Day Coming" is unlike either version on Painful. "Blitzkreig Bop" is the instrumental wedding reception version from Genius+Love. James sings "Part Time Punks". "Lonesome" is a slow version sung by Georgia.
