Longest/Shortest SY show?
 
Does anyone know? Like not setlist, but length of the entire set.

I was watching this Germany 96' performance of Diamond Sea and seen it was 20 minutes just alone, made me wonder.

As a rule festival sets will be shorter than headlining sets. I'm not aware of any Sonic sets that have ever been cut short due to weather or otherwise but there could be.

The shortest Sonic show I've attended was the Jimmy Kimmel show outdoor taping where::::

------------------concert chronology-------------------
07/11/06 - Los Angeles, CA @ Jimmy Kimmel Live

SET LIST NOTES
Incinerate
Reena
What a Waste
Rats
Do You Believe in Rapture?
Catholic Block
Jams Run Free
Pink Steam
Shaking Hell

"Incinerate" and half of "Reena" were aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the rest of the songs were exclusively for the studio audience.
------------------------------


Wasn't in a studio but a vacant lot around the corner. Sarah Silverman was there chilling on a couch with her then boyfriend Jimmy along with Bobcat Goldthwait, Tracy Morgan was also walking around stage. Sarah had her new dvd and she signed a copy to Thurston which he read on stage. "When are you gonna break up with your wife so I can marry her"...awesome he said. ////s

that show was a solid hour, we expected 4 songs and 15 minutes, but sonic youth rewarded us for all having been standing in the sun in the cut behind hollywood high for hours waiting to get in :)

that show simply kicked ASS!!

The Troubadour Sonic Nurse show in 2004 was just under two hours as well, I was overwhelmed :)

I'm not sure about the longest show but I think this must be the shortest.

Karen Koltrane ending due to a storm sounds all kinds of fun.
