I think this was the order for tonight, 7/3 @ United Palace Theater, NYC. Correct me if wrong:
Sacred Trickster No Way Calming the Snake Poison Arrow Catholic Block Walkin Blue Anti-Orgasm Leaky Lifeboat Antenna Malibu Gas Station Massage the History World Looks Red -------------------- PCH Brother James -------------------- Death Valley '69 |
I'm pretty sure Tom Violence was in there as well. Maybe after Anti-Orgasm...

What We Know was in one of the encores.
What a MAJOR disappointment on the venue. HUGE HIGH ceiling. Cavernous. Sounded like garbage. THEY were tight and the sound guy did what he could with it, but the room was too big. Sounded MUCH better by about two thirds of the way through but still wasn't right. Quote:

Disagree on your assessment, but that's just my ears...I was in the last row on the floor and while it was not pristine sound certainly the whole way through, I was more than happy with the show. And to meet another awesome boardie, Neptuneg.
|
what we know was in the first encore, brother james was in the second encore
also from where i was in the back it sounded very good |
High energy from the band all around.....would have been nice to hear the bass guitar....it finally got turned up in time for Massage...and from then on it was pretty tight sound-wise.They killed in the encores,Brother James was sickness and Death Valley destroyed.

Sacred Trickster
No Way Calming the Snake Poison Arrow Tom Violence Walkin Blue Anti-Orgasm Leaky Lifeboat Antenna Catholic Block Malibu Gas Station Massage the History World Looks Red __ What We Know Pacific Coast Highway __ Brother James Death Valley '69 great fucking show... wish they played thunderclap.. i'd rather it over stinky malibu gas station... it was the only song they didnt play from the eternal. it was my fourth time seeing them (8/06, 7/08, 8/08) and it was sick. |
I'm digging how DV69 seems to have replaced Kool Thing on this tour.
|
Wilffiv's setlist above is correct. I was in the upper level, and I think the sound may have been muddled a bit. Still an adequate show by SY standards, which is a great show by any other standard.

As Thurston fumbled with his guitar...
LEE: "Strap it on, dude." THURSTON: "I'd like to strap you on sometime, Lee." LEE: "That makes two of us." |

WhAAAA? Thought you couldn't make it! Would've been awesome to meet up. |

Yep...probably the biggest laugh I've had at a Sonic Youth concert.

fixed. best part was when thurston told everyone to fuck the seats and come to the front. everyone went bananas during dv69. and i thought that was a jenn sighting. |
Thanks for the fix, I thought I'd heard "That makes two of us", haha.
Where were you, Soniknirve? |
It was really nice to meet you, Jen & Panto!
|
Wow, where I was sitting I heard almost nothing but bass. The bass was really, really loud in the mix. I was sitting to the left (Lee side) near the front.
It did sound better towards the end (around Massage the History) and the older material was excellent (World Looks Red, Brother James both were killer). Good energy but the sound was pretty terrible. Quote:

Yeah, Malibu Gas Station sounded pretty shit. Kim was really off key or something. It's a shame because that song, on the album, is really stellar.
What we Know was great thought. That song is a really thunder kicker! great fucking show... wish they played thunderclap.. i'd rather it over stinky malibu gas station... it was the only song they didnt play from the eternal. it was my fourth time seeing them (8/06, 7/08, 8/08) and it was sick.[/quote] |

i was in orchestra row e on the lee side of the stage. Quote:
to me it sounded more like thurston played this an octave lower causing kim to be all over the place. |
Yr probably right. It did seem like Thurston's guitar was kind of out of whack with what lee was playing as well, thought it was hard to tell due to the bass levels. It kind of ate up all of the treble.
Not that I know much about sounds or playing guitar. My ears could be a little off. :o Quote:

No, I said I wouldn't be around the rest of the weekend. That's why I asked you about meeting up Thursday or Friday. No problem. We'll make up for it next time. |
fuck. I wish I got to meet some of my SYG-homies.

Quote:
I completely misunderstood then. Not the first time! IT was pretty crazy getting there Friday anyway, don't know how much time we would have had. |
I thought it was thread just for setlists :p

hoping this isn't too hard to read

 My second-ever SY setlist...both from DC shows, both including songs that were replaced with new songs during the show. Thanks, Eric Baecht. |
That has to be the best setlist so far this tour hands down. Hopefully the Oakland show will be similar to that.
|
Way to go, Jenn! Did they play "Expressway"? Was that one of the changes? Jealous if they did play it!
|
Played "Antenna" instead of "Expressway".
|
What's your thought on Bobby Pyn? I really wanted to hear that live as I love it on the album.
|
They omit the "yeah yeah"s and "whoa whoa"s live...which is kinda my
favorite part of the song. But they played it with tremendous CRUNCH, and Thurston gave a solid delivery. It also helped that my area of the crowd was hopping around and headbanging like SY had just brought back "Stereo Sanctity". |
shadow of a doubt? fuck.

I really dig that setlist, I hope they play Tom V and Shadow when they go to Knoxville. :) |

GHEY! |
i like that they can get away with playing songs a trillion times, don't play them for a couple years, and then bring the same songs back and everybody acts like it's the most shocking thing ever. don't get me wrong, 'white kross' and 'shadow of a doubt' and even 'tom violence' etc are all great songs but does nobody remember the first half of this decade?
(i know i totally sound like a downer asshole, but i do LOVE these set lists, i just find the reaction funny! "whoa! white kross! tom violence! two of the songs they've literally played more often than any other songs ever! rare!!") |
I know they aren't rare at all. I suppose the reaction comes from the fact that I've only been a fan since '05, have only seen SY twice, and haven't seen them play White Kross, Shadow of a Doubt, or Tom Violence either of those shows. I'd just really like to see those songs live, I guess, even if a lot of older fans have probably seen them played plenty of times before.

In case you have not heard the recording yet where you might be busy, Does it help that before White Kross someone blasted an R&B slow jam through their amplifier until eventually a loud howling squall of noise replaces it, then Thurston yells "White kross!" and they start the song? ;) |
Quote:
well my first sy show was in 2004 and even after seeing them 8 times now including the dc show, that was the first time hearing those songs. |
Yeah, I'm being deliberately hypocritical because I remember when I was first getting the opportunity to see them live, all I wanted to hear were the old songs and I'd always end up at shows where they did mostly new (unreleased) stuff. Drove me mad, no matter how good the shows were. Took me about 5 or 6 years of fandom before I finally got to hear all the staples (at once), but when the novelty of hearing those same old staples wears off you really just ache to hear the new material (or different old staples, ha ha).
What's funny(?) is that every few years new fans (or old fans not able to see them often) will go thru this same cycle!! It's totally understandable...and part of the reason the band has sustained itself so well, I think. Their concerts, particularly the way their new material develops over the course of a tour, is what keeps them vital. They've always been incredibly consistent as far playing almost exclusively new material on tour, so it should be no surprise. |
