I was there in Berkeley too! Saw the show, but I found out I’m not really into SY. I like the Don’t Look Back series in general though.

Sorry I missed you in LA, Susan! We’ve been travelling and offline for about a month now!

yup, i’m on my way to the LA show right now. i saw them once and was really bummed they didn’t play “teenage riot,” but it’s pretty much guaranteed this time. i’ll report back tomorrow.

I think Moore was kind of dubious of the enterprise, too. When they came out for the encores, he joked, “Now we’re going to play Sticky Fingers all the way through!” Lee did a half-hearted Jagger-strut, and then launched into “Incinerate.”

“Teen Age Riot” has always been my favorite Sonic Youth song. Cool show. I got to go to a show recently where the first set was the Old 97s doing their first album in its entirety. Those kind of shows are a blast. I agree that I wouldn’t want all concerts to be like that, but it can be fun, especially if you really like that particular album.

I think Mike D is catching this in LA tonight.

I’m more excited for the Mudhoney/Melvins “Don’t Look Back” show. Mudhoney’s doing Superfuzz Bigmuff, and the Melvins are doing Houdini. Both of them together. Should be AWESOME.
