12/01/82 - NYC, NY @ Folk City

SET LIST NOTES 
Inhuman
She's in a Bad Mood
The World Looks Red
The Burning Spear
Confusion is Next
Making the Nature Scene
  • SY opened for the Meat Puppets in their first New York appearance.
  • A recording that I previously believed to be 12/11/82 Folk City became questionable after another, confirmed source of 12/11/82 surfaced. It's an extremely similar performance with the same set list, so it seems plausible that it could be the other Folk City gig from 10 days earlier. The unknown performance previously circulated as an mp3 set with an unknown instrumental tacked onto the beginning (I never did confirm if this was SY or not, though I lean towards not). The files were tagged as "Folk City 1982".
  • That said, I am not 100% sure that this set list is from this date.

Alright, he's gonna use this little dinky amp instead of what we had intended to use. Count your blessings! We have to tune now. Anyway..this mic is fucked up too now. Anyway, this song is called "Inhuman"."
