Low & Fred Armisen helped Yo La Tengo celebrate their 37th birthday at Hanukkah Night 5 (pics, setlist, video)

Fred Armisen was both the Night 5 comedian and the guest musician for Yo La Tengo's set, joining on a second drum kit for most of it. The setlist included "The Story of Yo La Tango," "Don't Have to Be So Sad," "I Should Have Known Better," "Ohm," "Sugarcube," and more, as well as covers of songs by The Urinals, Crispy Duck, and T-Rex.

For the encore, Tara Key of Antietam -- who also played Maxwell's the night of Yo La Tengo's first show -- came out to perform Antietam's "Orange Song." Then they brought out Fred to sing The Clash's "White Man in Hammersmith Palais," and Mimi and Alan of Low came out to cover Neil Diamond's "I Am, I Said." The night finished with a cover of Flo & Eddie's protest anthem "Keep It Warm," which also featured Mimi and Alan. Yo La Tengo's setlist, via Jesse Jarnow's Frank & Earthy blog, below

Night 5's's DJs were Antietam drummer and Other Music co-founder Josh Madell and Dawn Sutter Madell, and the night's mix CD was made by Yo La Tengo's James McNew. Proceeds went to Environmental Advocates NY. Photos from the whole night by Ellen Qbertplaya are in this post.
