I'm not agree , I don't think that the tonight show was a good one. The band started in a really good mood and according to the size of the venue it could have been a fantastic concert, we will probably never see sonic youth play in such a small venue.
But why have they played exactly the same songs as the day before in the same order!!!
I don't like the new songs at all, some of them are not bad but just not bad, it's not like when I have heard NYCG&F for the first time and I said "whoa, I love the new sonic sound"... I think that most of the audience doesn't really enjoyed the new songs... To me many new songs could have been bonus songs on Psychic Heart, but not in the new sonic youth LP...
.
About old songs, it's great to hear Making the nature scene and Shaking Hell in concert, but the 4 pieces version of Stone isn't as good as the one they played on the nurse tour.. Sunday was not very good tonight and PCH was better in my opinion when Jim was playing the bass and Kim was only singing and played trumpet...
But the brother Jam version tonight was good and the final noise tonight was great, the kind of Steve drum solo was excellent.
I have made a recording of the show, I will probably seed it on DIME in a couple of week...
