oh yes…i know all of you are going…spill it.

I'll be there…my 6th or 7th time seeing them:)

A few friends of mine are going to their studio performance at XM with 30 or so other lucky folks.

Bastards!

I'm waiting to see them at the Allentown Fair in August.

This will be my 10th or 11th time seeing them. They can be hit or miss, but when they're on, they are pretty amazing. I think I like them more as a 4-piece actually.

I'll be there. . but you already knew that Betty.

Everyone, come find your resident forum sixteen year olds!

who's attending both shows? :)

when you have your id and ticket and hand ready for the waiting in line to go at that much faster a pace, the people working for a club's front face are happy and say thank you. i like them. they make me happy, too.

i'm there, and then there.

i'm there for the second show, which will be my 17th or 18th time seeing them.

hey betty, i hope you're not gonna be one of those annoying kids who go to sonic youth shows and call for them to "play a song" when they're in the middle of a feedback freak-out. :p

i like the fact that there will be a live web cast of the show on npr.org. not sure if it's the first or second one.

also find it interesting that the second show hasn't sold out.

and it's interesting (to me, atleast) that this is the only internet board that i post on.

I'm going to the second show. The set list for the show in NYC was the new record, with two older songs, Eric's Trip and something else. I know they usually stick with new material, but I hope they shake it up a bit. I mean, they are playing two shows in one night. Maybe they will bust out the back catalog for one of them. And I've seen them only twice, both over ten years ago. Goddamn I feel old.

early show = early material?

last show = last material?

>>> There's some guys on this site you may not want to issue that invite to!…… :p

I guarantee they'll do the new record for both shows, then maybe switch out a couple of oldies for both shows. There really isn't any big great variation in their set lists when they are on a tour. In 2002 that's when they really dug out some older stuff, which was fun.

Nope, in an ideal world, yes…but they will very likely do the new record plus three or four old ones for each show. The older songs will be different for sure :)

okay. so The Jesus and Mary Chain are one of my favorite bands. i appreciate my feedback.

all of you early show-ers…i think there should be a serious forum party at the Page France black cat show, post Sonic Youth. what do you think? i think yes.

early show…
i'm dying to hear unmade bed but i'll be too uncomfortable to make a request.
