Yo La Tengo continued their traditional, guest-filled Hanukkah run at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on Dec. 27, welcoming guests like drummer Brian Chase of Yeah Yeah Yeahs as well as Nick Sanborn and Amelia Meath from Sylvan Esso, who also surprised fans with an opening set earlier in the evening.

Chase sat in for the entire set, adding percussion to openers like “Out of the Pool,” “And the Glitter is Gone” and more.

New York-based jazz bassist William Parker joined in for “Don’t Have To Be So Sad,” before switching over to a horn for YLT’s Today Is The Day cut “Outsmartener.”

As previsouly mentioned, Sanborn of Sylvan Esso eventually took part in the festivities, adding his own electronic signature to “Above the Sound,” “The Crying of Lot G” and “Satellite.”

Later, the band closed the set with their titular “The Story of Yo La Tengo” and encored with Lenny Kaye’s “Shock Me” as well as the Velvet Underground’s “She’s My Best Friend,” before inviting even more guests to the stage.

Allen Hill added vocals to the ’60s romp “Secret Agent Man,” whereas Amelia Meath kept the fun going on “Hanky Panky” (backed – once again – by Brian Chase on drums).

The evening finally closed with YLT’s version of “Fourth Time Around” by Bob Dylan.

Yo La Tengo plays their seventh of eight Hannukkah shows tonight – Dec. 28 – at the Bowery Ballroom.
