Not sure if 26 could squeeze it into their schedule, what with all the Suze Orman infomercials they run
Originally posted by thirsty moore:with all of thier songs, seems like they would vary thier setlist a little more. most of the same stuff they played when i saw them last. and if they EVER played a show w/o Teenage Riot and i was there….i wouldve killed them.

Originally posted by sonickteam2:well isn't part of Sonic Youth's deal that they tune their guitars some bizarre way each album, making it more difficult to go back to old material? I know that was the case in the early years, I dunno how true that is now, but it does seem like they tend to favor material from whatever the new album is.

Also, I wonder if Wilco has gotten tired of the YHF stuff yet? They've been playing it seemingly nonstop for a couple years now.

[/QB]That was my issue with their set. I understand playing songs from the new album, but clearly this show was geared toward older fans (Constitution Hall, opening for Wilco), so having a Silver Rocket or a Teenage Boots would've been nice.
Anyone read the post review of the concert?
The reviewer was clearly a big SY fan, and not to much of a Wilco supporter. While this was not the best Wilco show ever, I think it was far from the terrible performance the reviewer made it out to be. The best for me so far was when they played the Rechter Theatre.

1st Class Sonic Youth Breaks Sound Barrier
Wednesday, July 2, 2003; Page C05
Despite being laughably second-billed to Wilco, the venerable New York City band Sonic Youth sizzled Constitution Hall on Monday night, roaring through 70 minutes of sublime material that made the headliners sound rather anemic in comparison.
Most of the crowd was still filing in when the quintet (which now includes multi-instrumentalist Jim O'Rourke) opened with the new "Peace Attack," an anti-Bush screed that led into a succession of songs from "Murray Street," the band's accomplished album released last summer. The addition of O'Rourke – who alternated between guitar and bass – has opened three-guitar vistas for the band, resulting in subtly cascading sheets of melody in "The Empty Page" and a galvanizing "Rain on Tin," where three giddy, pealing riffs collapsed in a howling art-punk heap. Throw in Kim Gordon's trailer-park noir vocals on "Plastic Sun" and "Drunken Butterfly," Lee Ranaldo's snippy "Skip Tracer," a snarling "(I Got A) Catholic Block" and a version of their latest single, "Mariah Carey and the Arthur Doyle Hand Cream," and Sonic Youth left little doubt that the band is as vital and ceaselessly inventive as when it began disassembling rock notions 20 years back.
Wilco's stage setup – background films, gadgetry, multiple keyboards and a center spotlight for leader Jeff Tweedy – portended the band's fussy, strung-out sound, which veered from uplifting to yawn-stifling, often in the same song. Over a wide-ranging whorl of new and old material, Tweedy's voice and guitar were the only Wilco constant, sashaying through "Jesus, Etc." and "Via Chicago," dropping the country-rock hammer on "Casino Queen" and "I Got You" and dueting with O'Rourke on a version of Loose Fur's "Laminated Cat." Still, too many numbers were cluttered with the kind of useless canned blips and keyboard noodles that prove Wilco is still far too undisciplined to be the kind of great live act its supporters claim it is.

Once again the Post music writers prove to be morons. Their review of the Jayhawks a couple of days ago was way off too, including misquoting Gary Louris for the benefit of the story.
I bet the post writer was the guy taking pictures that pissed off Tweedy.
