From Yo La Tengo's site on what "The Freewheeling Yo La Tengo" concerts are: "That which we've all agreed to term "acoustic," although there is copious use of electricity. No set list; instead the audience is encouraged (if not required) to interact with the band, leading we're never quite sure where. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll hear the occasional song."

    Sadly, I'm not going to this anymore, and have 2 spare tickets. My mental health requires a holiday outside of London, even though it means I'm missing the chance to see this dear, dear band for the first time ever. If anyone wants to buy my tickets, please message me!
