YLT closed out the main set with “Autumn Sweater,” “Tom Courtenay,” “Blue Line Swinger” and Big Star’s “Take Care.”

The encore began with Wynn on guitar and vocals for Dream Syndicate’s “That’s What You Always Say” and “Glide.” Dallas Good of SMOSP then came out to play organ on Bob Dylan’s “Apple Sucking Tree.” Wynn’s time on stage came to an end with a rendition of Dream Syndicate’s “The Day Of Wine & Roses.” Stampfel was brought back along for “Griselda” with Marilyn Kaplan on vocals.
