The Sprawl is one of my favourite ever songs, I didn't mean it's something a hardcore fan wouldn't want to see.
I do take into consideration that they have to rehearse and relearn the songs, but perhaps they should exploit more of their huge discography when they're in that early rehearsal stage.
I love Sonic Youth regardless of what they play anyway though. They could do hour long versions of Melodikim.

Yeah, I wasn't really referring to you either. Just the general thing where people are "I wish they'd do this and I wish they'd play that" and the people don't seem to consider how difficult it is for a group of real humans to learn, re-learn, arrange and change the quality of sets that Sonic Youth deliver every night. Even when they fuck up it's graceful, because they are masters of presentation. But it doesn't come out of thin air.
Again, I know you get that, but a lot of people don't seem to.
