i have my fingers crossed for shaking hell.

Hey guys, I'm working on a new show for AOL, and we wanted to know if anyone headed to the show tonight was bringing a camera with them or would like to do a video blog recap of the show. This can apply to not just the CBGB show but any of the others on the tour. Sorry for the short notice. Please e-mail me and let me know. Thanks so much.

I won't be there but it's gonna rock for sure!
Have a great evening... lucky few people.

So they should be on by now...

And 24 hours from now they should be on in philly..fuck yes i can't wait.

I wonder what the setlist is... think we'll know within a few hours, as in will people from the show come and post reviews/setlist afterwards, do you all think?

And only another little less than 2 months until Toronto. Woo. I wish it was sooner.

Please. A setlist from anyone that saw the show. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very, very much.

I'll be sure to post the setlist from tomorrow's show and any good pictures i can get.

Thanks very much.

The show tonight was really good. More old songs would have been nice, but the new songs work really well live.

Here are some pictures I took, including one of the setlist. I'm definitely not a photographer by any means, so don't expect anything high quality.

^Cool pics....wow they played RR all the way through.....hmmmm, didn't see that one coming.

The show was very good, but I would have liked more balance between old and new. They filmed it.

So it seems Lee plays the acoustic part of Or. I hadn't noticed they played this song with the use of an acoustic guitar in Paris last April.

photo's look awesome.

A whole set of RR? Great, so most of the time Mark Ibold does the bass parts of RR as well? Leaving Kim without an instrument, or am I mistaking?

Was Chris Habib taping?

Only Shaking Hell and Eric's Trip from the old days? Lame.

Yeah, Lee played the acoustic part of "Or." About half of the song included him knocking on the body of the guitar with his knuckles as added percussion.

I think there were 3 songs where Mark played the bass part while Kim was just left singing / dancing. A couple songs had two basses though. I can't remember which ones.

They did all of murray street on terrastock v

Great pic's Vertex. Wish I had been there.
Legendary venue!

HaHa... I had a feeling that I was wrong!

a thousand leaves, but not in order.

Thanks very much for the setlist. I'm betting this won't be the kind of setlist you'll see on most shows this tour, they did it today I bet because Rather Ripped came out today and they were playing at CBGB's. I'd expect the other dates to be a bit more mixed up.

steve buschemi likes sonic youth. me too.

Kim looks great in those photo's, i can't believe that she's saying her aging bones can't take anymore touring!!!

Meeting them all beforehand and getting some pix and autographs made up for the fact that it was an abbreviated set. I didn't think it was billed as a record release party (was it?), but it was still incredible. The new songs just keep getting better and better. Thurston rocked the shit out of Pink Stream, while Jams Run Free and Turquoise Boy were simply sublime. Love the double bass action. Long live Mark Ibold!!! Lots of shouting for Pavement songs, which I found amusing. "BOX ELDER" "IN THE MOUTH A DESERT". Unforgettable day and night.

Had a blast hangin out with you, hooligan. And no, I didn't end up staying at her place. Oh well, you can't have everything. "What would we be without wishful thinking".

Nice pics, Vertex.
