I'm here at work and all I can think about is FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY (monster truck announcer voice). The reality exceeded the fantasy by a good measure.

jennthebenn · 08.15.2011, 10:36 AM

Daaaaaaaave! The videos! "Inhuman" left a hole in the sky.

Yeah me too. Now if only SY could play out more often!
I would "follow" them around as much I have with my other favorite band.....gasp to say it, phish.

'85, in fact! ''86 for Ghost Bitch, '99 for Starfield Road, '95 for I Love Her All the Time, '93 for Flower...yeesh.

chicka · 08.15.2011, 01:43 PM

you folks that want to commit suicide for not showing up/ How about showing up and leaving early? We left during SugarCane because we had to get down to Philly and my niece was going to another party in NYC. Mostly though because I thought the crowd was so dead they'd never get them back out for another encore. Silly me. Still though an excellent show what I did stay for. Wild Flag was terrific also couldn't believe they didn't play an encore.

baby bulldog · 08.15.2011, 01:50 PM

Lotsa people bailed after Psychic Hearts....I KNEW they were coming back for one more song-But I was guessing Expressway or Brother James....

I still wonder if Thurston knew there was liquid in that cup/bottle when he decided to "play" it...

jennthebenn · 08.15.2011, 02:01 PM

Enjoy the review and pics above and ignore the comments. Sonic Youth should do a setlist like that
in DC or Portland and get the unconditional love it deserves.

The big debate there is: was this better than the Prospect Park gig? I
was at both, and as mouth-droppingly great as the PP gig was, the show
Friday resonated more with me. Better setlist, better crowd where I was
at (I like being at or near the front, where people are less likely to be
texting/talking/imitating "The Thinker"), sound in the venue about the
same, the venue itself much more aesthetically appealing...just my thoughts. I'll have a full review up mid-week.

EVOLghost · 08.15.2011, 02:19 PM

^ I was at the Prospect park show and it was awesome...but judging by the setlist alone...it looks like the greatest shows they can put on currently.

and my speakers don't work so I can't watch youtube vids.

jnic · 08.15.2011, 02:23 PM

Wow, I haven't even thought about last summers Prospect Park show which I was at also. I have to give a slight edge to Prospect Park because that setlist spoke to me more personally (even though Psychic Hearts really brought back a flood of personal memeories for me) and 4pc class SY was beyond tighness. NO DISRESPECT to Mark at all either. But then the Manhattan skyline at sunset and complete darkness was sight to behold in itself. I still wish for a recording of 7.31.10 to surface, as with 8.12.11

I can NOT get enough of live SY!!

jennthebenn · 08.15.2011, 02:29 PM

Both shows make my top 5. Prospect Park had the quartet, as you mention, and a setlist where every song but one was from the '80s. I'd heard all of those songs live before though (not a complaint!) whereas the WW show was the first SY show in a long-ass time where they threw me for a huge loop.

jnic · 08.15.2011, 07:42 PM

Yeah, the Williamsburg show thru me for a big loop too, but that was very alright. I did enjoy every note. All today I was thinking I wanted to go back to to Friday night from 7-10 pm there and not leave that time zone.

I can not wait until my next SY show, hope it will be sooner than later!
