SY : Please Sell SBD's of Your Shows

jnic · 08.11.2010, 11:46 AM

I don't see why Sonic Youth can't sell a soundboard mp3 format of their live shows. If you charge a fair price of $9.99 for each show, it will be a great money maker and the fans would love it.

While I'm on this idea, anyone get a recording of the 7.31.10 Prospect Park show?

noisereductions · 08.11.2010, 11:47 AM

I like that they choose specific shows to release personally.

jnic · 08.11.2010, 12:24 PM

Then they should release Brooklyn 7.31.10 in it's entirety, no edits.
That was a perfect show from beginning to end.

noisereductions · 08.11.2010, 12:44 PM

I'll tell them.

jnic · 08.11.2010, 12:49 PM

^ That would rule!
In all the NYC SY shows I've seen since 1998 (never missed one yet), that one was the greatest, tightest, funnest (is that a word?!) show I've ever been witness to.
Thank you!

MP3's? You want at least .wav files. It cracks me up that people actually pay for a stupid MP3 - it would be like if satellite radio was AM quality and they were asking you to pay for it.

jnic · 08.11.2010, 01:35 PM

^ok, then i'll take .wav files. I just want a SBD of shows, I won't be too picky.

if they sold soundboard flacs of complete shows (no edits, no missing songs, no matter how sour a note may be) for $10 a hit, from all eras of their career, i'd buy em til i went broke.

mp3s of edited shows? nah. that's free download territory.

i know they have a massive archive - possibly they feel the demand may not justify the effort, but this is something i would really, really like to see happen.

I'd prefer they just went thru the archives and started picking really ace shows to release... like maybe one from 81-85, 86-89, 90-94, etc etc. Or just really special shows, like some of the SYR shows or the 9/5/00 impromptu Lee, SS, Jim O and PJ show, etc.

Georgekrz · 08.12.2010, 08:29 AM

hopefully they backed up the files and store them in more than one location...

It would be great though, no doubt.

You should be picky. We're not consumers in China where things are 'good enough'. If you're going PAY for a SB why downgrade it by converting to MP3?

Anyway, there are tons of great sounding shows floating around out there.

jnic · 08.12.2010, 11:33 AM

I just want a complete SY show from the SBD, which ever way they feel ok to release. $10 for a complete show in flac format would be ok with me.

ennui61 · 08.14.2010, 04:02 PM

This is a great idea in any format. The Prospect Park show was amazing from start to finish. I'ld love to get the McCarren Pool shows also. I think a lot of people might want files from shows they've seen as a lasting memory of the evening. Hell can't say I've ever seen a bad SY show.

Some other bands have been doing this already since a few years (ex. Pearl Jam), SY could and should do this too. People can choose online to buy mp3 or FLAC versions

akprodr · 08.24.2010, 07:15 AM

Isn't SBD an acronym for silent but deadly?

noisereductions · 08.24.2010, 07:22 AM

I don't like this.

Phish does this. Recent shows from this past tour were available within 1 hour after the show. The band is not making profit from these releases, the money goes to their charity.

try visiting here folks looking for SY shows quite an extensive library in FLAC format.

sy2004 · 08.26.2010, 10:30 AM

No, just listen to Pearl Jam's SBD bootlegs, they are no silent and not deadly at all. Since SY doesn't allow SBD recordings anymore since 'that' incident, this would be great addition. For the rest, utkonos is great too.
