prepare for one of the best shows you can get!

it's interesting that some of the people with hundreds, some with thousands of posts on this board yet they've only seen SY live once or twice. I think that's pretty rad.

Yes, rad. over and out.

Do what?

I've never seen them live dammit, never! And it is many things, but rad is not one of them.

Once. Saw them at the Way out West festival on Friday. 'twas amazing!

I've seen them 3 times and I've seen Lee's Drift performance which was cool.

was it different to the dvd? or did they recreate that?
must have been great

three times, once in 2004, twice in 2007

Yes because you aren't a true fan if you haven't seen them live more than 5 times.

I saw them once at The Forum in April 1995. They were boring, and also were blown off stage by the support band (Descension).

Twice.

1986 (supporting JAMC)
1991 (Reading Festival)

I hope that's not what I sounded like with my post. I'm just saying it's cool that people are so into a band they've (possibly) never seen perform live. SYs shows are quite a different experience than studio AND live recordings.

Anyhow, each show is unique, like each venue. Go to the show.

SY - one time (St Nazaire last Saturday) + Two dollar guitar with Steve on drums quite a few years ago.

once, on the Nurse tour. the Istanbul show.
and i saw them backstage and they were uber kool and signed my shit and took pictures w/ me, it was awesome.

but a SY fiend wants more.

why were you backtage?

because i'm cool

they signed your shit.
that's so cool.

how did you safed it from drying out?

it's simple. my shit is cool too.

Growing up in Nashville, TN, moving to Charleston, SC, and then Norfolk, VA, has really limited my opportunities as compared to those on the Southeast. But I've made a few minor road trips to see them. Since 1995 I've been to 11 shows. Not one of those from 1996-1999 - they were hard to catch for a while. I've found that I really enjoy the evolution and maturity of their output over the years and think they get better everytime. But that's just me.
