What shows would make good SYR's?
 

And Why?

One such vote for me would be http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/cc/090500.html

Since it's a loose collection of Lee, Jim & Steve and guests doing various songs from different tangents.. Interesting.

Nice.

fun topic, noisereductions...

have a cool idea for the cover's source photo, but unfortunately no longer have it on the hard drive or photobucket...anyway, the picture is the cover of my copy of this show which marked the first time SYR 4 material was performed in a live concert setting.

I know, I know, there's already an SYR 4, so this might be considered redundant as an additional SYR release (if the band has the appropriate audio to source from), but darn it, it's my choice.

And the bootleg recording only has the SYR 4 material; maybe the release could have one excerpt from each of the solo sets.

Debut of SYR4 material. A program was handed out featuring copies of the scores for the performed pieces.
(Perhaps a booklet could be include or a fold out or just as the part fothe insert artwork).

SY were joined by special guests Takehisa Kosugi, Jim O'Rourke, William Winant, and Wharton Tiers.
Thurston, Kim, and Lee all performed solo sets as well.

i can't think of one really, i just want this too keep going. although i'd love to hear a live version of tremens.

DOCUMENTATION

Audience DAT source exists.

 

who's the chick on the cover of that? they should go on another SYR tour... and come to fucking texas.

Yes, I think that one is better than the Philly one.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but is there a reason why the Brighton Beach show hasn't been released officially?

BLOOD ON BRIGHTON BEACH?

I'd rather they do a really amazing remastered gatefold CD reissue of WALLS HAVE EARS. Droooool. I understand they didn't want it to be released in 86, but god, get over it! It came out! It's awesome! It's a great docuement! Fucking re-release !

the one with thurston going "WE'RE STEVE ALBINI LOUDMOUTH RMAONES"

there use to be an mp3 of lee and jim doing ghost ship in a storm on the saucerlike site.

How about some new studio material all together for the next syr..?

Studio material would be great. But then we couldn't have this fantasy thread, now could we?

bump. I miss this thread. It was fun.
