sonic youth blasted the rock out of all our asses, assblaster!

i dont know, theres still a little bit of rock left in my ass...

The band was hot, but there was one of the shittiest sounding shows I have ever been to. It was all pretty much a big muddled mess. When I see SY, I want to be able to hear each of the instruments separately.

yep

i wish they would have played @ the meridian
their sound system = NICEEEE

[requote=thethuthinnang]Really awesome photo effects there, crypto. How'd you do those?[/requote]

I was up front and it sounded excellent to me.
that place gets cacophonous towards the middle and back, too much interference.

dinosaur jr peeled the paint off that fucker!

what effects?

edit: and shit i missed dinosaur jr!!!!
asnasdklmasd AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Holy fuck I had such a great fucking time at the Sonic Youth show! Oh man I cannot get enough of them and what they do and it was amazing and fabulous and fucking sick great and I had a fucking BLAST!
I met up with Heath Hayner and we got blitzed and showed up at the Warehouse Live. We were hanging out when I noticed an old friend, Hernan, bartending! I had not seen him fro about 4 years!!!! He hooked us up and we rocked to the first band, awesome color, a cross between sabbath, MC5, the stooges, and mudhoney. they were good. This picture I took of them came out CRAZY!

we had made our way close to the front, so by the time sonic youth played, we were ready to fucking rock. The show was amazing. Mark Ibold from Pavement played the bass for many songs. Some songs had double bass. Some songs thurplayed bass and kim played guitar. Lee even had an acoustic guitar for "OR"

Here is the setlist, as I wrote it on the back of a sonic youth postcard

I will translate.
REENA - INCINERATE - ERIC'S TRIP - DO YOU BELIEVE IN RAPTURE? - WHAT A WASTE - SCHIZOPHRENIA - TURQUOISE BOY - SLEEPING AROUND - RATS - KOOL THING - NEUTRAL - OR (encore) LIGHTS OUT - JAMS RUN FREE - SHAKING HELL
I might have missed one or two but I am pretty sure this was the setlist.
FUCK THEY WERE FANTASTIC.

Goddamnit, WHy the fuck do they always play Kool Thing, that song is fucking garbage.

Because it gets me ridiculously rock hard when she whispers to me "come on come on come on come on..."

Kool Thing had the crowd jamming about 3 times as much as any other song played last nite.

crowd surfing and all. it was

Damn, does Thurston not age? I mean, whenever I see him he has a few qrinkles here and there, but jeez! I know people a decade younger than him who look a decade older than him! The guy has great genes. He barely ages! Kim looks great too. Lee has quite a lot of grey hair, but it makes him look distinguished and intelligent. And Steve still looks like a calculus professor. Can't wait for them to drop by Beantown. That show is going to kick major ass. I know it for sure. I just hope they bust out Eric's Trip and Schizophrenia and maybe some Expressway for the encore. That would make my day.

I was right in front of you. My friend bummed I light for a cigarette off you. I was wearing a calgary flames shirt. It was a pretty sweet show.

great pics! i saw them the next night in austin and the drummer from awesome color said "sonic youth rocked houston last night, you guys don't even wanna know!" must've been a great show, although austin was great as well, sonic life!

Buzzo! Glad you could rock to them!
