Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo performs Hanky Panky Nohow by John Cale at Paradiso Amsterdam
On March 17, 2013, Yo La Tengo performed at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, bringing their unique blend of indie rock and experimental sounds to life. Leading up to this live recording, they had just released their album "Fade" in 2013, which marked a return to a more straightforward sound after their previous albums leaned more into experimental territory. Interesting tidbit? Cale's influence looms large over this performance, as the band has been known to incorporate various interpretations in their live renditions, blending the line between homage and artistry. Their ability to improvise and reinterpret is part of what makes their live shows a celebrated experience. So, while "Hanky Panky Nohow" might be a cover, they infused it with their signature sound, keeping things fresh.
