In February 2013, when Yo La Tengo performed "Flying Lesson (Hot Chicken #1)" live at The Barrymore Theater in Madison, they were actively engaged in promoting their album "Fade," which was released earlier that year on January 15. This album marked a notable evolution in their sound, characterized by a more polished production compared to their previous works, and it received positive critical acclaim. The performance of "Flying Lesson" during this show reflects Yo La Tengo's dynamic live presence and their ability to reinterpret their studio material in an engaging, spontaneous format. Their extensive career, marked by a blend of indie rock and experimental sounds, has also made them a significant influence in the music scene since their formation in 1984. The live recording not only showcases their talent but also highlights their commitment to a rich, diverse musical experience for their audiences.
