I was at the show last night and I thought it was shit - made me change my whole perspective on things. Sound quality was part of it (bang bangs sounded shit).
I did miss the 2nd encore though, and I think I wouldve liked the Corsano/Shelley dual drum thing. The venue was great - never seen a barbecue at a gig before! |

The opening act was excellent.
Corsano's name has been dropped in quite a few threads, stating how good he was. I'll agree from now on. When they brought his kit for the encore, I found myself on the right side of the stage (mostly gone there to sit down and rest my feet) and found a spot before the song started by the guard rail. I could see Corsano pretty well, how his arms and legs move, all clear and amazing, with Steve's drums beside him booming forward. The show wasn't as satisfying as the one on the previous night (for me). I felt at times they were trashing their own songs. And Steve had played too well friday, he wasn't... I feel like committing a crime saying that, I'll skip, as he got better by Kissability. Highlights for me were Silver Rocket, Joni, Trilogy and that last song. I met many people, tall persons elbowing their way to the middle of the venue with pints and pints of beer, talking to each other while this band Sonic Youth played some stuff, or barking they wanted to knooooow in my ears when I couldn't care less about them. Had to back up to a different spot. Found other persons after the gig, the same as I met at the door: sonicl, diamondsea, _slavo_, pokkeherrie; hello people !!! it was nice meeting you !!! For lalie : Kim was wearing her silver dress with broad black stripes. |

both nights were excellent ... because i had completely different experiences. first night i got heavily trashed on alcohol and danced like a flailing weirdo getting the full effect right in front of thurston. car sick cars i liked a lot . . . schizophrenia was a lovely surprise at the end . . . i was a wreck . . . a joyous cripple at that point.
second night (sat.) got down in front of lee and watched with more attention less inebriated took some shots etc. .. . blown away by corsano again as the support . . then could barely take my eyes off him for the expressway encore which was just breathtaking sublime, and almost made up for the fact that i didn't go to the jazz fest earlier in the week. got back to my car at about 12 . . . it was clamped . . . i won't relate the rest of that particular evening's events. |

Thurston moved with his guitar as if he had been in Devo, and smiled at that, during the first part of the show (or was it me?).

folks at the roundhouse on saturday night wandering what that magazine was that Thurston held up and spoke a little about towards the end of their set... it's an underground poetry/lit zine published in the UK called 'Unquiet Desperation'. found 'em here:

Excellent. I don't think I've regreted missing a Sonic Youth show as much as I did this one, even more so because by the sound of it they were a blast. Slavo, that wasn't me at Euston station, I was making my way home from Vauxhaull at that time last night. Perhaps it might have been one of my many impersonators. |
