YES.
There was a great quote recently in an
interview with Mike Mills regarding REM's split and the chance of a farewell tour:
Quote:

They didn't do a victory-lap last tour because it would be "maudlin and manipulative," says Mills. "It would also feel very mercenary, like, 'Everybody buy a ticket because you're not going to see us again!' That's kind of creepy; that's not the way we do things."

Obviously a different band and a very different situation, but I'd be very surprised if Sonic Youth didn't feel the same way about a farewell tour.
