Sonic Youth Playing DN! (1 Viewer)

[s-p-a-c-e-d]

I have heard like 4 SY albums total

 

[chelsea girl]

Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star (nobody seems to love this albums as much as I do )
Daydream Nation
then Goo and Dirty, both equally.
then Sister

 

[LaurenceBM]

What section is everyone in? For some reason I'm in the Second Dance Floor.

 

[Aznpsycho]

I'm at the fucking front! That's what you get for buying them on the day!

 

[LaurenceBM]

But I did! At about 8pm. What about you?

 

[walrusbear]

2nd dance floor?
it's at enmore, right? someone else bought tickets for me, so i can't confirm, but i'm pretty sure i just got GA....

and there's not enough love for washing machine
i'll go

DN
sister
evol
washing machine
a thousand leaves

i'm not cool enough to list earlier albums

 

[Gavvvvvin]

Yeah theres two standing areas for god knows what reason. I'm at the back

 

[LaurenceBM]

Fucking hell. Here's to sneaking into the front!

 

[s-p-a-c-e-d]

Also in the back GA part, but I only bought my tickets about a week ago so that makes perfect sense.

and

Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star (nobody seems to love this albums as much as I do )

this was one of the albums I heard because my sister had it...i can't say i liked it as much the others I heard (DN, Goo, Sister). Probably just needs a few more listens...

 

[Gavvvvvin]

They added a 2nd show.

 

[walrusbear]

hopefully they play the album in order

then the encore can be diamond sea, or the entirety of evol/sister

 

[melimoo]

haha

but yeah, sifn't album order?!?!

 

[chelsea girl]

eep! i think i may possible cry tonight. i always cry when these sort of monumental gigs occur (e.g. pixies at v fest)

so excited!

 

[all.time.fiend]

haha

but yeah, sifn't album order?!?!

i'd love to hear teen age riot last

 

[icecreamdisco]

i heard some murmurs of disappointment on the way out, but overall i thought it was a great show. maybe not the revelation that the pixies were... but still pretty fantastic.

standouts:

silver rocker
the end of 'the sprawl'... ugh, so pretty
cross the breeze - my favorite song on the album, and they nailed it
the trilogy
the encore, since i missed their rather ripped tour in '06

nitpicks... i've never been a huge teenage riot fan, and i thought it sounded particularly flat tonite. not a great way to kick off. similarly, i thought eric's trip sounded pretty weak w/o the didgeridoo like on the album.

also, i don't like the enmore for seeing bands. it just feels so... impersonal?

still, definitely memorable all round.

 

[Gavvvvvin]

It was pretty boring. I didn't stick around for the encore.

 

[Aznpsycho]

It's pretty fucking excellent when you're leaning in front of Thurston as he's dancing around shredding away.

They have also finally made Total Trash sound great, I don't like the album version. Totally agree with 'Cross the Breeze kicking ass.

 

[melimoo]

'cross the breeze was great, that and the trilogy

yeah, i felt a bit underwhelmed but...i left when they started the play jams run free - did they only do a 3 song encore?
incinerate was nice to see again but

 

[s-p-a-c-e-d]

i'd never seen them before do i didn't know what to expect, but i really enjoyed it! cross the breeze and trilogy were definitely the highlights. thurston is an amazing guitar player.
