Yo La Tengo Newark Concert reviews
P!nk! was a huge letdown
Months of anticipation turned into a huge disappointment when Yo La Tengo took the stage. The big, "Las Vegas" production that overshadowed her actual talent was unnecessary. Her voice, which stands alone, was unfortunately muffled by poor acoustics. The show felt more targeted towards a teenage audience with its overdone theatrics. I've experienced better clarity at other venues like the AA Center in Dallas or the Ford Center in OKC. The mix of muffled words and excessive production only served to worsen an already lackluster performance. Yo La Tengo doesn't need a flashy production like the one last night; her talent speaks for itself. She doesn't have to strip down or dress her co-performers in bedroom attire to entertain.
