can't wait to read jennthebenn's contribution to this thread...
p.s. this is a nice idea, I think I made a list of songs I heard them play live somewhere on this board, but I didn't have the patience to count how many times for each...

I've seen 94 different songs played live. That's pretty awesome! I have a feeling Jenn's stats will be impressive in quantity of times she's seen each song, but she's probably seen about the same number of diferent songs as I have.

I'd be interested to see someone do this that has been going to the shows since the 80s.

I've seen them only once in 2003 (and that's a pity):

i have seen sonic youth any numbr of times between some and a few and they played any number of songs between all of them and some of them. thats good innit?

fucking hell this thread is so good and yet so far out of my brain handling capacity to comprehend multiplying sumit so massive, not that ive ever seen sonic youth wank their geetars off onstage but...

ive seen

new years day ?? not sure actually
deffinetly with or without.
shit load more... u2 cover band y'see

also californication
under the briadge
give it away
hump de hump or sumit... all thius by the reet hot chilli peppers

"Inhuman", "Kill Your Idols", "Mildred Pierce", and "Self Obsessed" make me really jealous! "No Queen Blues" too.

How many shows was that? What was your earliest tour?

8/1995 earliest

mildred pierce was from Boston 2001
inhuman nyc 2002
kill yr idols bonnaroo 2003
self obsessed & no queen blues from lollapalooza '95

How could you have seen Bull in the Heather 13 times in 8 shows?

august/1995 = 8/1995 earliest

same there

Its funny cause I've got insomnia as well for the past two days. It might be stress related but can't really put my finger on it. So saw SY twice, should have seen them three times but missed them opening for Pearl Jam.

I know I definately heard all of Daydream Nation. 1 time Kool Thing twice. But I can't really recall the the others.

I can't remember the exact setlist but my first time was in 1992....so,

several from Dirty, Goo and other blurred vague memories,

All of Rather Ripped and (2006)
Mote
Catholic Block
Schizophrenia
Tom Violence
Shaking Hell

All of Daydream Nation plus encore of RR (2007)

some previous repeats along with (2008)

Bull in the Heather

All of The Eternal ('cept Thunderclap), (2009)
PCH
White Kross
Shadow of a Doubt
DV'69

Yeah, I know it's weak but still cherised in my world !

I'm kinda too lazy to compile my own list, but seeing how others have spoken with jealously of 'Inhuman', I'm glad I got to see it. Definitely a high point of my SY concert-going career. If not the highest...

I am too lazy for this, even that I saw the youth only 4 times...
but I saw "kool thing (merzbow)"
(hahaha, another situation where I can mention this)

That's a damn fine list blunderbus!

Nice job, guys.

All of them. 0

Never have seen Sonic Youth live. Don't care to, neither.

i just watched sonic youth 1 time :mad: but ok, one is better than nothing ;)
