Watch Yo La Tengo, Yoko Ono, Frankie Cosmos, and More Perform at Other Music Farewell Show

New York’s Other Music served record-buyers for more than 20 years, and last Saturday the beloved store closed its doors for good. Area musicians weren’t about to let the iconic storefront go without a proper tribute, though, and on Tuesday night, Yo La Tengo, Sharon Van Etten, Bill Callahan, Frankie Cosmos, Julianna Barwick, the Tallest Man on Earth, Yoko Ono, and more performed at the Bowery Ballroom in a variety show called Other Music Forever. Watch some fan-shot footage of the night below. (h/t Brooklyn Vegan)

All the musicians that gathered tonight to say goodbye to the record store Other Music were fantastic, and while my personal highlights were @juliannabarwick playing a beautiful song dedicated to Thomas Fekete, and Sharon Van Etten joining The Tallest Man on Earth for the last song, Yoko Ono’s surprise appearance with Yo La Tengo had its own magic. #othermusicforever #juliannabarwick #thetallestmanonearth #sharonvanetten #yolatengo #yokoono #yokolatengono (last hashtag is because @bangerang91 said so) (sorry @nspringe) (Happy anniversary you guys!)
