It was a great show and I really enjoyed it.
I was up in the gallery and agree that the vocals were very muddled throughout the show. Guitars and drums sounded great. It's been a while since I've been to an SY show, and I was once again enthralled with Steve's drumming, Lee's guitar playing, Thurston's ability to hump a string instrument!! And of course everything that is Kim Gordon. I love her.
The sound, during the encores, seemed to falter though. To give you an example, from where I was seated, it took me a while to realize they were playing Death Valley 69 - the sound was so muddled...at first I thought it was Kool Thing........yeah, I know. I felt stupid.
I'll edit to add that I would rather go to Massey Hall then the Kool Hause....anyday.
But I loves me some Sonic Youth and loved hearing the new record.
I definitely wont allow as much time to pass for my next SY concert.
