personally I'm pretty excited to hear the new album stuff live, my first thought when listening to the album was that this stuff will be great live and although we could all pick hundreds of older songs we'd love to hear them doing I reckon that new album + five oldies is gonna keep me happy and as satisfied as I've ever been.

damn these setlists keep getting better and better. Its awesome to see Tom Violence, Schizophrenia, Catholic Block, 100%, Brother James, Shaking Hell and Mote are all running through current sets. I cant wait to see what it'll be like at the boston show.

Does anyone have the latest setlists? Where can I find them?

Yeah, because they don't play the hell out of those songs every tour :confused:

Ive seen them 3 times now and I still have not seen them play Tom Violence, Kool Thing, or Expressway, even though I know they play them a lot. I know a lot of you are probably sick of these, but i still want to see them play those at one of the shows I go to!

please post 06/29 (Missoula) setlist! :(

that looks right, but there may have been another song, i can't remember at the moment, and i was right in the front, my mind is a chalkboard

Anyone have the setlists from the Pearl Jam shows?

i saw that show in houston it was so awsome :]

Okay, in response to the idea of it being a shitty show at CB's:

you're right. It was. I've never been so disappointed by a live show than when I saw the setlist. The fucking new album completely in order?! And then, as if to say, "sorry we just played our new album, let's try and make up for it..." they played two classics in one encore and then wouldn't come out again. Everyone at that show either paid a SHITLOAD of money for the tickets (they were going for hundreds online) or was really lucky, or really dilligent. It was a proper fuck you, whether they had to break the songs in or not.

In response to the idea that we should indulge our heroes no matter what they try to do:

They're my heroes because of what they do, not vice versa. If they started sounding like the Stone Temple Pilots, I wouldn't say, "whatever, man, you're my favorite band", just like I wouldn't fall on my face with praise to a girlfriend who never got out of bed or showered or talked to me, but who USED to be the most amazing person in the world.

In response to the fella who saw them in 98 playing exclusively Thousand Leaves stuff:

That would've been a treat, because 1000L is one of their best albums. I'd love to see even one song off that album live. Rather Ripped, on the other hand, is ridiculous. Go back in time and play it for Lee Renaldo, 1982 and the only thing that wouldn't disgust him would be the advanced effects. The main problem isn't that they're playing so much new stuff, it's that their new stuff is so fucking boring (though even if it were excellent, more old songs at the CB show would've been much appreciated).

now that i think about it, i think the other song was do you believe in rapture

It's been a little while... Is there an update, you information-loaded people?

not sure on the order:

stop your whinging, and take it from Steve Shelley:

"whenever we have a fresh album, we really enjoy playing the new songs, so that's kind of what going on right now. it's what we did when I first joined the group, we'd just go out and play Evol or Sister or Daydream Nation depending on what year it was. it's only in the last 10 years or so that we started throwing oder songs in there, and I know it's difficult for some fans, but this is what we fee like doing right now"

so buddy, if you don't like it, donty go and see them.

and remember: THEY OWE YOU NOTHING

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was okay to come on the Sonic Youth board and give opinions about SY. If they play their complete new album at their shows, sure, it's their business. But their new album sucks, and this seems like at least as good a place to talk about it as South 3rd St.

And as for Steve quotes, I think this one's far more applicable to being disappointed in their shows/music right now:

"But you were still pulling for these guys, your heroes, to keep up the good work, while all these new bands were just doing incredible things".
