Yo La Tengo at the pool, the Blue Line Swinger to close the set was extremely moving and perfect for the occasion, well that's a great song so no surprise. The encores after that were sort of anti-climactic I think. I was not a big Yo La Tengo fan before, but this show really moved me.
I agree on Sleater-Kinney, great great live band, saw them on their next to last gig at Lolla in 2006, and that was a great set, especially knowing that was the last go around, I think they had one more show after that in Washington state.
Didn't make this last show at the Stone, so I don't know about that, although Ryan Sawyer is a great drummer, so kind of sorry I missed it.
