sorry :(

as they rubbed guitars against their amps on at least two of the nights

Didnt mean to reply there, oops

Im glad they did this show because its the closest thing that I could possibly get to seeing them in their prime years.

When they played their newer material during these shows, I didn't like it half as much, I just dont find anything they've done post A Thousand Leaves as interesting. And in their "actual" gigs, they play a LOT from their lastest album, which i dont want to hear. I basicly want to see the long gone Sonic Youth.

Granted I am being impatient, or greedy, in wanting to watch a Sonic Youth show on the condition that I know the members of the band will only play old songs I want to hear. But until the time machine is created and i can go back a decade or two ago, these shows are the next best thing.

However, i am therefore saying the true purpose of these shows as to get money to bands that have gone massively downhill by playing on their fans appreciaton for their earlier material. Which is obviously, not a good thing.

why people throw stuff at people on stage. It's spoiling it for the fans who just want to hear the music.

Jesus, that's just down the road. The last semi famous band to play here was the Gallows back in february and before that it was years. I think i'm going to go :) Unfortunately I think The Pigeon Detectives are very mediocre, but I don't care. Most local bands in scarborough are of the screamo/early fall out boy variety :(
