11/26/89 - NYC, NY @ Night Music

SET LIST NOTES
Silver Rocket 
I Wanna Be Yr Dog  
  • Night Music was a syndicated American late night show featuring a variety of lesser known, more experimental acts. This was Sonic Youth's first television appearance. If you weren't lucky enough to see it air in 1989, it was immortalized on the Screaming Fields of Sonic Love VHS release in 1995. The date was long debated until a very helpful postcard from "manager" Don Fleming (who joins the band on keyboards for "Silver Rocket") turned up, however I'm still not sure if this show aired live or was pre-taped at an earlier date. Any idea?
  • On "I Wanna Be Yr Dog", the band was backed by host David Sanborn, the Indigo Girls, Daniel Lanois, members of the house band, and possibly more! It was a very fun performance that unfortunately airs only partially during the credits.
