holy shit, they played shaking hell! was it 2 hours long?

im surprised theres no ep songs on that list, but it looks pretty cool...how long was the set?

it was a little over an hour and a half.

User Shaka uploaded most of the show here: http://www.megaupload.com/fr/?d=043PB3I0

It starts about halfway into "Incinerate"

Damn no Washing Machine songs, despite the clamour for "The Diamond Sea." Well, there's still time. Anyway, "Shaking Hell" and "Brother James" were fucking incredible picks. Good deal.

Huh. I just realized that I'm going to be seeing them play Lollapalooza in Chicago and that Lollapalooza '95 was when they started playing Washing Machine songs so... maybe? Oh, pipe dreams.

Motherfuck yeah!!! Shaking Hell! Mote! Sunday!!! Brother James!!! And this is them just warming up.

It better have been two fucking hours. I won't even listen if it is under that.

Damn, SUNDAY. That might be the gem there.

EDIT: NO!!!! Shaking Hell? Holy fuck.

Bump:D

I would love to see Burning Spear or I Dreamed I Dream played a lot this tour.
I still haven't heard the new stuff...still trying to hold out for the official release.
Otherwise, looks good. I would love to hear Sunday live!

As far as them being a 4 piece, this is what I read from Pitchfork:

As previously reported, Sonic Youth kick off a summer tour on June 13, the same day Rather Ripped is born. Mark Ibold, formerly of Pavement and Kim Gordon's band Free Kitten, is joining the band on bass.

Here's the Link:

So who knows what to expect. Totally different dynamic then anything they've done before.

I'm hoping they bring out a lot of the older heavier stuff to couteract the mellowness of Rather Ripped. I would be happy if I heard anything off Bad Moon Rising, Confusion is Sex or Evol, and to get song specific I would love to see Lee play Eric's Trip!

I just hope they open up with an oldie.....the new songs are pretty good, but like guitarwolf alluded to, they are kind of mellow. I need instant action! Yes need. My favorite shows have been the ones where they pay 2 or 3 old songs before hitting the new material. Less than a month away!

They play 'brother james' on every tour... ANd I hate that song, yuck.

There was no washsing machine songs since they lost a lot of the gear they used on those songs.

I've never seen them playin live...
but if i have to choose some tracks:

* Silver Rocket
* Expressway
* Kotton Krown
* Kill Yr. Idols
* I love her all the time
* Rain on Tin
* Brother James
