I'm excited for these shows nonetheless, but I do agree with the general vibe here. I think it would've been cool if they relearned many of the songs and threw them in randomly during normal setlists. That being said, I understand that part of the thrill of seeing Sonic Youth is wondering what will come next in their catalog of 30 years of music, but I still think the shows will be fun.
Also, for all we know, they could bring other songs back too for an encore, perhaps. For example, Disappearer uses the same tuning as 'Cross the Breeze. Although it was hardly ever played live, maybe they'll see it as an opportunity to bring it back? This is arbitrary.
