Evaluating these, most of what are rare weren't at the time - new songs off
new albums that don't get played much anymore. Or old songs that got played
frequently on particular tours. It's all relative I guess.

Nothing rare, but a good set never the less. Although they only played mote 4 times that tour. I can't remember the setlist from 2004 Cleveland, but I remember they played rain on tin, everything from nurse, and some other stuff too.

yeah ........ they dont play a very wide range of their own songs .. usually only about 25 in rotation .....
so prolly the only rare thing i saw was on the nurse tour when ... sy, wolf eyes, and hair police all rioted on "inhuman"... although it seamed like more of a big joke than it was about the music .... unfortunately ...



it would be cool if sy were to play sets of there new songs and then different old ones evry night .. instead of the new ones and then the same 6 or 7 oldies over and over again in a pretty steady rotation .........

Lawl. I have seen SY play the entire Either/Or album in order with an encore of "Hives Hives". Good show.

Nothing really 'rare' I guess, though the older songs they did play I was real happy with. Especially 'Eric's Trip' and 'Expressway'.

It seems like every show except The Orange Peel got a good, solid set-list.

Yeah, I am jealous of that set-list.
Well, the reason I didn't think it was a "full" set is that I would have liked to heard more recent stuff (@ the time). Like, some songs off "Murray Street" would have been a highlight for me. Or, "A Thousand Leaves". I really did enjoy the early stuff they played, like PCH, & "Teenage Riot", I just thought they could have done a better set.

they need to be able to paly ALL there songs ... not just a couple oldies.....
like a jam band ..
........ i mean jam bands sux but they put on the best shows, never any of the same songs two nights in a row and allways like three hour shows....

sonic youth should ditch the opening acts and play solo shows .. were they keep it real and play like a bunch of songs every night and have at least 2 full sets ......
AT VERY LEAST

I agree they should have a variety of songs on their sets, have a broad spectrum guys.

I'm thinkin that ATP will just be another gig for SY ie/another gig to promote the new album.

I don't think there's enough people would go and see that show. I might, but I would think quite a lot about it, and I'm a fairly heavy SY fan. Ok, so I'm not obsessive enough to go to every show, and I'm lucky enough to live somewhere where they play a couple of shows each album, if not a full tour.

And the support bands are nearly always top quality... especially Glenn Branca at the London RFH show... incidentally, I saw the soundcheck for that (sneaked in an hid somewhere)... they were doing soundy things and then a mostly instrumental she is not alone... that's not something many people saw (unless there were other people hiding as well).

Didnt they play a show at The Sheperd Bush Empire in London where they had VVM as a support act?I thought that was a cool choice for them.

Yeah... I didn't see that show, but I saw VVM a couple of years before that... they used to have a really confrontational and unpleasant live show, but the last time I saw them it was a bit tame and laptoppy... unfortunately, with that kind of music, if you don't have a good live show, the music can be super-boring. Would've been good to see the SY-supporting masses cower in fear though.

I've read a review of it somewhere and it seems like his stage set comprised of dead meat he'd buy from the local butcher wherever he was playing at the time and he would place it near his laptop onstage.These days he seems to be really into belgian beat stuff from the eighties wich he manages to make sound like a drive by shooting outside a Daltson primary school.His 'Sick Love'
album is still a gem after all these years.

Yeah, I went to that one http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/cc/070100.html. They had two supports, the other one of which was Morphogenesis. Probably the most fucked up support line up I've ever come across. V/VM dressed in pig masks playing Mouldy Old Dough very loud and distorted, followed by a bunch of old men sitting at tables dragging chains across tabletop guitars. The Morphogenesis performance was recorded and is available on their In Streams Vol 2 CD. Please don't mistake that for a recommendation, it's just a statement of fact.
