Strong Set...

Steve used the mallets in the 2nd new song and this really fresh drum and bass swell and then bam! it ended.

even the Exprssy encore had this drum and bass jam in more prominent roleplay...

The new songs didn't seem to be an enormous departure from what they've done before in the past. Based on the little we have to go on so far, it seems like they're evolving beyond the 'Rather Ripped' formula as opposed to shifting from it completely. Think of some of the more rocking moments off of 'Dirty,' except a little bit more catchy and a bit more riff oriented. And, whereas 'Rather Ripped' had catchy vocals and catchy melodies, this time any straight-forward hooks were in the vocals, letting the instrumentation be a bit more harsh and punishing.

The first new song, sung by Thurston, seemed to be a more straight-up rock tune. You know, as far as Sonic Youth goes.


The second new song, sung by Kim, was a bit more awesome upon first listen. Some nice noise, and much more aggressive hard rock.

At the very least, it seems like the softer 'jam' aspects they've maintained since 'Murray Street' have come to an end.

All of that said, I'm basing this off of two songs that they just wrote the other day, that are going to see way more honing and probably countless changes before they're recorded, if they even make the final cut. At the very least, I can say that I'm very excited to see how this first post-Geffen album shapes up. I can already tell that I'm going to like it more than 'Rather Ripped' and 'Sonic Nurse.'

I really liked to new songs. I wish the set list were a little different from what they played at Battery Park. And even though I love the Daydream Nation stuff because, well, I'm human, I wish it wasn't always half their set.

Now, some cell phone pictures!

Loved the new shit. I have a crappy quality vid of each of them, or at least parts of them so I will put those up on youtube soon for all to see.

thanks for this, don't forget that they wrote this songs day before concert, ir the same day even, they probably will be changed, modified.

I thought it sounded great too. WNYC said the sound at McCarren was lousy so I was prepared for that but I was pleasantly surprised. Now, I wear earplugs (and highly reccomend them) so YMMV.

Hell I must've been near ripchord and cantankeroous too. I was the old bastard with his little boy (6'5") and his girlfriend (5'6") it was a great spot to see them from, close and you had room to move. But anyways.........
I though the 1st of the new songs was still in its earliest stage. Thurston said he had no words, would make them up as he went along. It seemed far to structed at this point and yea like a rock song. Kim's song seemed far more progressed.
The rest of the set was Battery Park a little expanded. Not complaining I loved the song choice. Burning Spear and Brother James were great.
Hell Sonic Youth is always a great show.
We got there late and missed Vivian Girls and New Times Vikings.I wanted to check them out but my son had to work. I think we walked in during Wolf Eyes. What is everyones opinion of them ? I knew going in that they were a noise band but ...........DAMN. 15 minutes of that drone would've been fine. I can always hang out in a boiler room and get same sensation. Maybe l'm just old, hell I am 48
