I agree with you on the kind of boring point, but I posted about that a whole lot already. To me, the fun of seeing Sonic Youth is wondering what will come next in the set. Imagine knowing, exactly, song for song. That takes away so much. It really sounds like Kim agrees too.
Nonetheless, I'm sure they are probably getting paid more for these gigs than they usually do on tour. If they do it again for Goo or Dirty in a year or two, I'm going to be seriously disappointed in them, but they probably won't.
I feel the same way about them doing it for the money as I did when the Sex Pistols reunited and openly said it was for the money. Yes, they deserve(d) to get paid for what they have done as far as changing the face of rock music forever. Yes, they will probably be good shows, an the band will still put into it all they have. Will I go if it comes through my town? I'm honestly not sure, I'd have to examine the ticket price first.
