Yo La Tengo

In the live performance of "You Can Have It All" on June 13, 2000, at Conan, Yo La Tengo was riding the wave of buzz from their 1997 album, 'I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One.' This pivotal record showcased their blend of indie rock, noise pop, and experimental sounds, which had garnered them a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim. By the time of this Conan appearance, they were solidifying their presence in the alternative music scene, known for their eclectic influences and innovative songwriting. Interesting tidbit: the band is particularly revered for their improvisational abilities and unique live shows, often featuring unexpected covers and extended jam sessions. This performance not only highlighted their engaging stage presence but also exemplified their knack for creating an intimate atmosphere, even on a national stage like Conan.
