"Reservations", the final cut from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot served as the evening's opening song, and Nels Cline immediately served notice, garnishing the song tonally, but not overwhelming it, then stepping up his game with the band's segue into "Art of Almost" from their most recent effort, The Whole Love.
They proceeded to romp through their catalog at will, and it was the combinations of songs, ("I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" into "One Wing"), that struck.
Personal highlight of the night would have to be the soaring, transcendant take on "Impossible Germany" from Sky Blue Sky, a showpiece on the LP, but live, it churned into the coiled intensity reminiscent of Television's "Marquee Moon".
The band is capitalizing on a busy 2011, having released D, a full length LP, a live session cut at Third Man Records, and last fall's Takes Place In Your Work Space EP
