The venue was great. I don't want to sound old, but it is a close to 2 hour drive home for me, so having Sonic Youth on at 9:05 suits me well. Furthermore, the sound kicked the shit out of anything Kool Haus can offer, in fact it was simply superb.
The show was good, I won't say great. SY plays masterfully, no doubt. On the way home my friend said, "they played no Geffen songs". I don't need or want a greatest hits show but I was a bit let down that the entire catalogue from Goo through Rather Ripped was left totally untouched. I also do not expect them to play something from every album. Death Valley was awesome, and the new songs were strong live (especially Anti-orgasm, Thunderclap, and massage the history). I can get into hearing the new recored too, I am just not sure they need to play 12 of them, how about 8 even 10 and throw the crowd a couple bones?
