Being there for Hanukkah show one can see Ira racing back and forth from guitars to keyboard and a roadie quickly putting out music stands . Georgia messed up one opening and then signaled a time out with her hands , said we’re a bit fried but I got this and then started up the song perfectly.
Ira was profusely thanking their small crew , the club employees and the band’s guests during the evening.
Seeing Ira’s Mom sing lead on “My Little Corner of the World “, cane in hand at end was so sweet.

Aislers Set would have been very cool. What a gift these shows are.

Aislers Set did their first gig in 8 years ( and practiced twice to prepare for gig. ) . Ira said they had toured with YLT 20 years ago. It was a good set

I remember that tour and am slightly dazed to realize it was 20 years ago.

Aislers played my buddy's party on Saturday, but try as I did to make it out there it was just not in the cards.

I am glad to hear. I love those records but have never seen them live (Aislers Set, I have seen Yo La Tengo many times). Maybe they will get the bug and play again.

I only saw Aislers Set once and it was also 20 years ago but not supporting YLT, they were headlining. I think Comet Gain and the Would-Be-Goods were supporting them. Yes, it was, and the Lucksmiths
