"Taking the advice of Glinda the Good Witch that it's always best to start at the beginning, we open with "The River of Water," but before the evening's through we've premiered "Satellite" and "Artificial Heart." Not part of the set: "Drug Test," but President Yo La Tengo fans don't go home disappointed, as openers, Sleepyhead, cover it."

"The first gig I played [with YLT] was Maxwell's in Hoboken, in March 1991. The thing I remember most about that show is that I broke a string I think on the second song of that gig and the bass player from the opening band, Sleepyhead, ran to the stage and gave me his bass while he and a guy who is now a graphic designer in New York meticulously changed the string on my bass and handed it back to me after one song with the borrowed bass. And I remember that moment as one of the most beautiful acts of human kindness I had ever experienced."
