Apologies for the lack of posting as of late, having a newborn baby at home consumes all of my free time when I am not at work. Though I'm not complaining, she is beautiful and we are so happy to be first time parents. It just means that the blog has to take a back seat for a while...
This YLT tour reminds me of the first time I saw Elvis Costello back in 1987 when he was on the "Almost Alone" tour with Nick Lowe and he also had a wheel of songs. It was good fun as he invited audience members on to the stage to spin the wheel and have a drink at the mock bar they had set up. Anyway, back to YLT... I have not had the pleasure to catch any of these wheel shows to my dismay, and judging by this recording they are pretty damn good. Their set at the Matador Records 21st anniversary celebration in Las Vegas last year was one the top highlights of the weekend, second only to the Guided By Voices classic line-up reunion. The sound quality of this recording is superb as is the set list. Highly highly recommended, enjoy!

Thank you!
Have a good time with your new-born baby!
Thanks very much edo: I had tickets for the London show of this tour, and had to give them up because real life rudely intruded, so I'm thrilled to have this.
And I can only speak for myself, but you needn't apologise at all for not spending your time at a keyboard rather than with your daughter - nothing's more important, or as fleeting, as enjoying your family in the hear and now.
cheers guys- enjoy!
Congratulations, edo! Though I can't say I'm thrilled at the prospect of fewer KYC posts, as a recent father of twin girls, I can understand. It gets easier. Keep up the good work...when you can.
Twin girls! Much respect I cant imagine what it would be like doubled from now. It's been an amazing experience so far !
Congratulations !!!!
hey, Edo..thanks for this :))
Hope all is well in your world.
Had tickets. Missed it. What a putz. Thanks for this chance to indulge in a little schadenfreude.
