Wierdest SY Setlist?!
 

I thought of a fun thread idea; Create the most strange Sonic Youth Setlist that you can think of. Songs from all of their proper albums, from any time period. What is the strangest opener? closer? encore?

heres my try:


-Tunic
-The Neautral
-I'm Insane
-Chapil Hill
-Total Trash
-Nevermind (What was it anyway?)
-Pipeline/Kill Time
-Unwind
-Beauty Lies in the Eye

Encore:

-Screaming Skull
-Death to Our Friends

Encore 2:

-Disappearer
-Shes in a bad mood

Whats yours???

- nothing but scissor shock songs

not all from "proper albums," but mostly...

Flower > Silver Flower
Electricity
Doctor's Orders > Tokyo Eye
Disappearer
Ca Plane Pour Moi
Wish Fulfillment
Me & Jill/Hendrix Cosby

2nd encore
Addicted to Love (Kim with karaoke machine)

- terry's carrot
- all of silver sessions
- last 15 minutes of diamond sea

daydream nation played backwards.

What do you mean by weird ?

co-sign. i've always wanted to hear that song live.

that would sound amazing. but i want the last 25 minutes of diamond sea.

Creme Brulee
Contre le Sexisme

i'd love to see a set made up of every song kim sang on from 1981 to 1994 (SY album tracks only, not bothered about b-sides, ciccone stuff, etc), and then for an encore all the songs she sang on from a thousand leaves + lightnin' from NYCG+F

In The Kingdom #19
Pipeline / Kill Time
Eric's Trip
Hey Joni
Mote
Lee #2
Wish Fulfillment
Genetic
Saucerlike
Skip Tracer

Karen Koltrane

Paper Cup Exit
Rats

Lee's testimonial, in a way...
Good idea.

They should put Steve at singing (replaced by Dave Grohl on drums for example).
That'd be great !!
No ?

The one where Thurston played air guitar for fourteen and a half hours was, to my understanding, very troubling for some of the younger folks in the audience.

- thurston beat boxing
- kool thing
- thurston unstringing his guitar
- the band disappears for about half an hour
- lee comes out and performs Rats
- band comes back, and play kool thing
- diamond sea
- green light
- scooter and jinx (acoustic)
- bull in the heather
- unmade bed
- unmade bed

encore:
- kool thing
- disconnection notice

encore 2:
- brave men run (without kim)
