What is the setlist like these days?

ecfan · 08.23.2008, 10:18 AM

Can anyone enlighten me?

mil_pl · 08.23.2008, 10:50 AM

what?

SYRFox · 08.23.2008, 10:52 AM

It's generally printed in Comic Sans MS, hmm maybe size 14, in black. The paper is white. It contains the tracks Sonic Youth plays, and who plays what

This Is Not Here · 08.23.2008, 10:56 AM

Too answer you sensibly, it centres heavily around Daydream Nation tracks, they've also ressurected alot of really old classics, She is Not Alone, World looks Red etc...

SonicBebs · 08.23.2008, 11:03 AM

hi ecfan, welcome to the board

theres info about everygig SY have ever played in the Sonicology section in the Archives page up there ^^^ check it out its pretty good

krastian · 08.23.2008, 03:11 PM

Nothing awesome that they haven't played in forever or anything.....pretty disappointing really.

atsonicpark · 08.23.2008, 03:16 PM

You must spread some Smartassedness around before giving it to SYRFox again.

RanaldoNecro · 08.23.2008, 03:22 PM

I wish they would revert back to the old trebuchet ms material

Nice to see a couple people answered this guy without trying to make him look stupid for asking a question about Sonic Youth on their board.

Nonetheless, the Sonicology chronology is not anywhere near up to date. The last shows listed on it in 2008 are in February, and I'm sure their set is quite different from then by now. Chris Lawrence must have a life or something.

So ecfan's question is completely valid and mostly unanswered.

drrrtyboots · 08.25.2008, 12:02 AM

I'm guessing your best bet is to compare it to the July 4th setlist, you're likely to see similar songs played with some possible variations.

July 4th:

She is not Alone
Bull in the Heather
Silver Rocket
Skip Tracer
The Sprawl
World Looks Red
Cross the Breeze
Hey Joni
Jams Run Free
The Wonder/Hyperstation
Drunken Butterfly
--------
Making the Nature Scene
Pink Steam
--------
Schizophrenia
100%

neptuneg · 08.25.2008, 12:07 AM

It seems that they have also brought back The Burning Spear

deflinus · 08.25.2008, 12:38 AM

all they do now is play bananarama covers.

... which is pretty likely for sonic youth to do to be honest.

Dead-Air · 08.25.2008, 01:00 AM

I don't mind that they play a couple things from Rather Ripped, it's their last album and all, but it's sure a shame they don't play anything else after Dirty (except for "Bull in the Heather", which always comes back too). I wish they'd play stuff off of Washing Machine again.
