mccarren park
daydream nation
---- incinerate reena rapture waste --- jam pink steam |
im fucking exhausted and dehydrated but will just say chris habib taped the entire show, and i got the set list i dont know if he heard me yelling his name or what but he threw it right to me and i got it, i was front and center on the rail for the last part of the show. i will try to post pic/ scan of the list later, cause im falling asleep.
and btw- thanks to sy, it was an awesome night. and slits were great as well. thurston dedicated incinerate to them, said ari up was his hero. |
so good. i was in the second row, right in front of thurston. and i was tripping balls. so good.
|
that was amazing!

Hey
Joni Rocked So Fucking Hard. Cross the Breeze, as well, naturally And the motherfucking Wonder Great show. |
best concert i've seen in a longgg time
|
very excellent show, the sound seemed better then last year when they played with yeah yeah yeahs, Cross the Breeze slayed all
extremely solid set, no real stumble at any point also great meeting Magic Wheel Memory and Amy Vega for the first time, and Sonic Kurt again, not sure if he posts here anymore but great to see he moved out of Illinois to live in NYC |
I almost cried. true story.
|
I like how they dimmed the lights for Hyperstation. That was incredible
|
I did fucking cry. All the songs were dead on, even total trash which i wasn't expecting much from. Now it's back to the pool for TV On the Radio! Thank you SY, thank you.
|
yeah, they nailed every single song hardcore. I kind of thought that Kim looked really bored during Rain King, but she was probably tired or something. She totally rocked when she used a drumstick on her bass during "The Wonder", though. Thurston was incredible, and Lee was smiling most of the time; I like how his kid came out right before the first encore. I'm pretty sure that was his kid because I went to Kim's art gallery and Lee was there with kids that looked about the same age. Everyone's vocals were totally on too. Sorry about the random jumble that is this post!
|
i couldn't see lee very well. and i didn't see steve at all. so, that was kind of dissapointing. but i'll get over it.
|
totally awesome show. it was just insane. steve shelley was fucking ripping up the drums, man. he's intense. good vibes, man.
Reena was fun, everyone was dancing. right on! |
steve shelley had a huge grin on his face most of the show, like it was the best time of his life. from where i was the sound was pristine. lee came to the edge of the stage during incinerate if i remember right and looked real happy. it was a blast. it was also the youngest crowd ive ever seen for sy, half the people seemed about 16. at least up by the stage.
here is the set list http:  tape still attached, haha sorry im not sure how to make it appear in this window. http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p...t=IMG_1126.jpg thurston: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...z/IMG_1124.jpg |

welcome to the sonic youth board |
I've been wondering how they perform Providence?

Great to meet you guys too! Not too many of my friends like Sonic Youth, so it's always great to meet other fans. One part of the show that was pretty funny was some guy next to us turning Providence into a sing-along! I also loved that Lee inserted the year "1922" into the ending of Hey Joni. |

Lee was totally struggling for years. I was waiting for 2006, but it didn't come, haha. |
some pictures I took from the show...

Hey,I was front row center. :p I was the tall skinny guy with black shirt that said "Upton Park". Anyways unbeleivable show. Not 1 mistake. But I got to admit , I didnt like The Slits. Horrible. Anyways,anyone know where I could read a review from a newspaper or magazine to see what they thought of the show.

well fuck all of you. i'm eating kimchi.

Incredible show last night in Brooklyn. Having spent countless years in underground clubs and random venues listening to bands who have been influenced by SY, even I somehow forgot how precious the real thing is. To hear the guys absolutely nail songs from an album that floored me back when I listened to it on an old tape player was nothing short of transporting. The seamless transition from Daydream Nation to Rather Ripped represented a melodic and temporal leap that no other band on the planet can or would even attempt on stage. The precision, timing, stage presence – just epic. I normally wear earplugs during shows – I was compelled to take them out and really feel what was being transmitted to the crowd.
We need to get that anarchy ordinance passed in Brooklyn. Thanks for coming to see us, guys; and reminding us how high the bar sits. |
forgot to mention that i spotted joly mcfie the director of punkcast taping the entire slits set (from stage left). here is his web site: http://punkcast.com/ and his youtube profile. http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwhatsup
check it out if you werent aware of this guy. |
this guy wrote a really great review of both mccarren and pitchfork fest shows, http://www.fluxblog.org/
and nyc taper, didnt he used to post here? i could have swore i remember a post here about him needing a ticket a few weeks back, or maybe it was another guy. im kind of reluctant to post this here because he talks a lot of shit, especially about lee. and in retrospect im glad he didnt get in. this guy is not a fan. he cant even spell lee's name. here you can read it: http://www.nyctaper.com/?p=36 As I write, Sonic Youth is performing at McCarren Pool. I’m not taping it, I’m not attending it. I’ve deleted my post from June promoting their album and providing a link where multiple nyctaper readers have already purchased copies of the new Daydream Nation CD. Sonic Youth can take their regurgitation of their 20-years-ago heyday and shove it up their ass. I had an email which had been cc’d to Lee Renaldo the guitarist. I was told to speak to Lee or soundman Aaron Mullan if there was any problem with entry. It was all supposed to be nice and simple. Only it wasn’t. The guard stopped me at the door, as well he should, and when I showed the email, he was nice enough to radio to security to get my clearance. Twenty-five minutes later, after multiple radio calls, I was told that neither Lee nor Aaron knew anything about taping and that the answer on taping was “no”. Apologies to all the readers who have anxiously awaited my recording of this concert. When a band specifically allows taping in the past, grants specific permission in email, and ultimately leaves me standing at the gate denied entry, I’m left to consider whether its really worth expending any more time, money, and energy purchasing their product, buying tickets to their concerts, and promoting the performances through sharing my recordings. Given the way I was jerked around tonight, the answer with Sonic Youth is the same answer I received at the gate–”no”. A band that could give a crap about their fans really shouldn’t get support from anyone. Don’t buy Sonic Youth CDs, don’t buy tickets to their concerts, and don’t give them any attention whatsoever. They’re tired old hacks anyway. 1988 is over. |

yeah...it bothers me quite a bit...especially that there is so much footage from both mccarren park shows sitting somewhere.... i have neither show and would flip for either (or both) anyone know if they can be had..... |
Quote:
Uh, all i have to say is you should give the band the benefit of the doubt in this case, it isn't explained above but how can one be certain the security actually spoke to lee and or aaron about your entrance and taping? they could be just telling you this... i've found from going to alot of shows that its hectic for everyone involved in working it and in the most part these folks are short temepered and short fused, the last thing security wants to do is deal with someone who has to make them go through the trouble of discussing a taping matter with the band. yeah its not really right, but its reality... |
I have finally put my 200 or so shots on my .mac page. Here's the link:
