sonic youth on tour...

[thebiggameover]

has anybody been to the sonic youth tour this year? there here in phx tonight, but i have to work....

[nothing4buddha]

my friend went to their show in san francisco (i couldn't go because my band was playing the same night X-( ... )
anyways yeah- she said it was pretty good, but definitely not their best tour. sonic youth has never been too great live :/

ummm, sonic youth used to be an absolutely incredible band, live. i've personally never seen them in person, but i have a stack of bootleg videos and anything from the "evol" years is completely unbeatable.
i would have actually finally went to seem them this year since wolf eyes and hair police are opening on some dates (chicago!), but i seriously can't bring myself to pay that much for a fucking ticket (not to mention the crowd that would be there. oh lord...)!

First gig I ever saw was sonic youth playing for free on Brighton beach in 1986. It was groovy

my first show was better than ezra and skiploader in 1994. haha! i actually still think both of those bands are kinda decent (well, the stuff they were playing back then).
