Indie music heroes Yo La Tengo played an instrumentally tight, creatively meandering two-hour set at the Ogden Theatre on Saturday, leaving a fully packed house both elated and exhausted. Now in their 25th year together, the Hoboken trio have a cache of music that crosses and re-crosses genres but always remains within their own style. Their show featured Ira Kaplan’s signature reverb and tremolo-drenched guitar and overloud keyboards supporting his often sparse vocals, backed up by wife Georgia Hubley on drums and vocals and James McNew on bass and guitar.
