Sonic Youth Stats 2011
I have seen Sonic Youth play at least once per year since 1995, with the exception of 1999 and 2001. As a result, I have seen the band play virtually everything in their live repertoire in that time. The band’s show last night in Williamsburg was mainly comprised of songs that had been out of rotation for many years, including some songs that had not been played since 1993 or earlier. I actually had a wishlist of songs I wanted to see them do and they actually scratched off a lot of them. Anyway, here’s the latest update of my list of every song I have seen Sonic Youth perform (and where and when.)
