They opened with 'Tom Violence' last night. They also played 'Stereo Sanctity' and 'Shadow of a Doubt'. I believe 'Shadow of a Doubt' was right before 'Death Valley 69'. The show was great (as always), but was ultimately limited by the strength (or lack thereof) of "The Eternal".
Songs I previously believed to be weak and confirmed last night:
1. 'Poison Arrow' - encoring with this tune was a MAJOR bummer
2. 'Leaky Lifeboat' - grates on me - sorry
Songs that I now appreciate more:
1. 'Massage the History' - Can you say telekinesis?!?!
2. 'What We Know' - I thought they rocked this tune HARD
ADVICE TO SONIC YOUTH: 'Poison Arrow' and 'Leaky Lifeboat' aren't going to sell any records. Pull them out of the set-list rotation and replace them with two older nuggets. Your fans will be happier, trust me...
All and all it was ANOTHER great show!
