I Wanna Be Yr Dog
(incomplete)
|
The first show of Sonic Youth's first European tour. Bob Bert rejoined the band for this tour and flew to Paris on his birthday, then to Switzerland for this gig. The distance between this show and the dates later in the month, in addition to the existance of an 11/06/83 show at the exact same place, makes me think that this date is incorrect and took place later that month. If anyone knows Bob's birthday, drop me a line. [the caption on the photo below now seems to extinguish my paranoia, but i'm still curious about the dates of both shows...]
Previous listed set list was actually for 12/17/82 NYC show. Actual set list unknown. In Confusion is Next its said that they play "every song they knew," amounting to everything from the first EP + Confusion is Sex. The encore is said to be a 20-minute version of "I Wanna Be Yr Dog".
2009 UPDATE - okay, this is getting really annoying. I have a recording that claims to be from this show, with the following set list:
The Burning Spear
Confusion is Next
World Looks Red
She's in a Bad Mood
Shaking Hell
Making the Nature Scene
Inhuman
I Wanna Be Yr Dog
Now, I can understand things being exaggerated in "Confusion is Next", so perhaps this truly is 06/11/83's set list. I'd still appreciate some further clarification, especially considering the circulating 11/06/83 recording (which also masquerades as 10/29/83).
