At Maxwell’s in Hoboken last night, Yo La Tengo performed a last-minute show to raise money for Peace Winds Japan. Both David Byrne and Glenn Mercer of The Feelies made guest spots along with SNL’s Fred Armisen, who sat in on the second drumkit. Double J, Jesse Jarnow reviewed the show for the Village Voice and mentions a Tengo-ized version of the Talking Heads classic Thank You For Sending Me An Angel was a highlight.

Byrne made the most of his first YLT @ Maxwell’s sit-in since 2002 by performing his own God Draws Straight and Flatt/Scruggs’ Give Me Flowers While I’m Living along with the Yo La Tengo original Tears Are In Your Eyes in addition to Thank You For Sending Me An Angel. Head over to the Voice’s website to read Jarnow’s complete review of what looks to be a memorable night in the Mile Square City.
