That's a pretty sweet set list I think. Weird how they can't play any Eternal songs without Mark... I wonder if Mark will play with them at Matador at 21? I mean, he's playing with Pavement that same weekend, it might be possible?

Excellent setlist indeed!

andrei · 08.02.2010, 12:26 AM

they should include some newer songs into their setlists. I'm kinda bored with these songs...

jnic · 08.02.2010, 11:05 AM

There was nothing boring about this show.

radarmaker · 08.02.2010, 12:14 PM

Was it 80's night or something?

I've come to realize this will probably never happen unfortunately, SY have a very definite collection of songs that they swap around depending on their new record.

So though we might not get any WM or ATL songs anytime soon (Which sucks), we also aren't likely to see any EJSTANS or NYCG&F surprises in the set. I consider it an equal trade-off.

The day I get bored of "Cross the Breeze" live is the day I should just
cock back and squeeze.

jnic · 08.03.2010, 05:26 PM

I agree, I could never get bored of Cross The Breeze.

I will say, having seen the Daydream Nation show at McCarrenn Pool, then more DN songs at Battery Park, and again @ Prospect Park, I STILL love that album, I guess I always will.

Now if they did Washing Machine from beg. to end, then I'd be really blown away by this band. September 26th is the 15 anniversary of the release of WM, they should be celebrating that!

Chris Lawrence · 08.04.2010, 01:05 AM

I doubt they think that at all. They've always demonstrated that they want to focus on new material and moving forward as often as possible -- their standard touring set list always weighs extremely heavily on new material, plus a selection of 'classics' -- there seems to be a group of 'classics' that they've settled into over the past decade or more, probably because they're quick and easy crowd-pleasers, and then a group of more obscure 'classics' that are still going to please the crowd. Maybe those are just the ones they like to play. It's not typical for them to dedicate a lot of time to relearning old songs.

Unless, of course, they're paid a handsome sum to relearn an entire 'classic' LP and tour it in its entirety -- and honestly, if they're going to spend the time relearning an album's worth of songs, which arguably many people feel is their finest group of songs (probably not anyone in this thread, but the average SY concert-goer, perhaps), it certainly makes sense for their favorites from that group of songs to continue filling the 'old material' gaps in their touring set lists for the next few years...

I feel like I just typed a whole lot and said nothing. (What else is new?)

jnic · 09.24.2010, 07:06 PM

Has anyone found a recording of this show yet, anyone????

This was my favorite SY show I've seen out of the about 20 I've seen here in NYC since '98.

kulicuu · 10.01.2010, 02:09 PM

i wanted to ask the same thing: soundboard recording available? seems like it would be somewhere at some time.

jnic · 10.21.2010, 12:22 PM

Has a recording of this perfect, incredibly tight, majestic show surfaced any where??? Please!!!!

Has Anyone Been Able To Find A Recording Of This Show?

This has been my favorite SY show in the 12+ years I've been seeing them.
