| Comment | From one of Ira's posts on yolatengo.com:
"City Slang macher Christof Ellinghaus suggested that Eleventh Dream Day and Yo La Tengo tour Europe together in the spring of 1991, taking turns opening and closing. Twenty-three years ago today we played our fifth show together, all in Holland. The night before we were the headliners and had brought Rick Rizzo up during the encore for a couple of Neil Young songs. Now, at the Burgerweeshuis (which I'm told translates to "burger weeshuis") in Deventer, it was our turn to support. We played our set to palpable indifference, the first and only sign of life from the audience being the perversely persistent clapping for an encore. Our first thought was not to bother, but then we reconsidered. For the last three weeks, we'd opened most of our shows with a new song, a slow, dreamy instrumental, as-yet untitled. We hadn't played it in Deventer, so we decided this was the perfect moment--seemed to strike the right passive aggressive note. Afterwards, I went to the merch table . . . you know, now that I think of it, with the details that follow, perhaps we were the headliner on this night too. Anyway, Eleventh Dream Day guitarist Wink O'Bannon was making a rare appearance as salesman, aided by a bottle of bourbon and two Dutch drinking buddies. Upon my arrival, one of them sneered at me, 'Your music is like a sleeping pill to me.' I don't remember my response, but presumably I was insufficiently chastened because he added, in the withering tone the Dutch have mastered, 'Burger eater! Burger eater!' Naturally the instrumental soon acquired the name 'Sleeping Pill.'" "The night before" is this night in Venlo, and Eleventh Dream Day guitarist Rick Rizzo indeed guests on a pair of Neil Young covers — one of them the incredible "Heavy Love" from Neil's then-new Japan-and-Europe-only release "Eldorado." This was also just James McNew's second month with the band, though he already fits like a glove. |
