I thought the concert was great but I also would have liked a bit more recognition of the crowd, a little hello or something at the beginning would have been nice. I think it was only at the encore that they actually spoke, apart from that they were just going silently from one song to the other which I thought was a bit weird. Lee looked like he was in a good mood though, did anyone else notice that?

Lee actually always seems to be in a good mood. Well, at least on the 4 Sonic Youth concerts I saw he definitely was.

Have they also not really communicated much to the audience at the concerts you've been to?

in August 2002, it was a completely different story. in September 2007 I was to three gigs: Prague - wonderful interaction with the audience, lots of talking, great atmosphere Vienna - almost no interaction, all except Lee looked grumpy London Roundhouse - during the DDN set no talking at all, however during the encore Thurston talked a lot about his amazement with Roundhouse club etc etc. Then they said the Londonese were the greatest audience (which I doubt, compared to the crowd in Prague)

I think they probably "need" to be more focused focused to "get this thing done" with the full ddn setlist... and, when they'll release a live dvd+triple cds set, there won't be references to specific cities/places to ruin the flow of the performances picked to compile the release, ah ah ahaaaa. No, seriously, the "no talking" sets might be the ones recorded(??) maybe.

Yeah we basically got nothing until the first encore, then they seemed to relax a bit more. During the encores Thurston spoke a bit and the only other communication was a couple of waves and a word or two from Lee.

I don't mind though, it just struck me as odd that they were so serious, after all it's always good to hear bands random comments etc in between songs

Hello, Kina. Glad to hear you enjoyed the show as a whole. Let's face it, we don't go to SY shows for the between-song chatter, do we, we go to RAWK!!!!!
What did you think of The Scientists? |

Hey Sonicl, yeah the show was great!!! I was totally impressed with how they sounded live and I also really liked the creative way they staged the show, the lighting was done in a very cool art installation kinda way which really worked in that venue and ofcourse I appreciated that Thurston did a whole lot of jumping and Kim danced heaps during some songs which was awesome too. I did notice people in the audience seemed to get bored towards the end of the concert though, and some left before the first encore, I'm not sure why, I didn't find it boring, I wanted them to keep going but after the second encore Thurston said "Goodnight and see you next time" or something to that effect and the lights came on
The Scientists were good but there was something wrong on the audio side of things I think, they seemed to be too loud or not clear enough or something. But apart from that technical side of things they were great and I was very impressed, although I didn't see them start as we arrived too late for that which is a shame. |

Did anyone else think there was something wrong with Thurston's and Lee's vocals?
