sonic youth montreux jazz fest. 2000
 

seeing the release of a lot of dvd montreux jazz shows (different artists as lou reed, van morrison, alice cooper, deep purple, james brown, mike olfield, johnny casy, miles davis, bonnie raitt, marvin gaye...), why not a release of the sonic youth show in 2000?

the burning spear was not played as usual on that tour, but... why not?

c u

SYR6 is live, innit?

Oh, you mean like.. bootlegs?

you guys want this on dvd? who? i got it, let's trade? better yet, maybe i'll upload it. the youtube thing is a mystery to me......

I got it onVCD its a great show

well, it seems that who is mainly really interested in releasing official dvd shows from the festival it's the organization. they are releasing every great and "strange" show for a jazz fest (joe cocker? lou reed? ...). i mean, i suppose that they are really interested in the sonic youth show... what would happen if they ask the band?

what to trade with? it seems you have every video.

I dunno if the Montreaux Jazz Fest filmed every show.
But the SY concert chronology tells that exist a webcast.
I think the mpeg that exist of that show was sourced from the webcast.
Someone knows if that webcast was multicam or 1 camera proshot?
(since I don't have that mpeg,I don't know)
because if was 1 camera shot that would be the reason why they don't wanna release the show.

Why would Sonic Youth play at a Jazz Festival. Don't get me wrong i know all the noise and stuff is 'free-improvised' etc. at times. But, Jazz?. wah?

mmm... why not?
no fun fest...
atp fest...
sonar fest...
ystad fest...

eclecticism is part of sonic youth life... :)

the webcast is a really nice multicam pro shot, but due to super-compression audio and video are barely decent...anyway, regarding the "jazz" thing, montreux jazz is hardly a jazz festival when it comes to some "special" guests... even Mono and Blonde Redead played there, just to name a couple from the top of my head.

Good.So, no excuses for a decent official release.;)

I wish, it's a really nice performance.

theres a video on youtube i think, its maybe some other show, but they played teenage riot in it... i dont know

SonicTooth site had video of that show uploaded there, James Blonde remembers. Awesome gig.
