I saw this show in SF and, thankfully, no pearl jam in sight...Best show
I've seen in a long damned time. The highlights for me included the sampling
work by O'Rourke (as well as his wall of sound guitar playing) and
thurston's experimental stuff (playing guitar with drumsticks <is this
new?>, dragging the guitar head across the floor for some excellent
feedback, etc.) For anyone who's seen them live before (okay, so I'm new to
SY), are these new techniques or is this old hat for thurston?
I left the show feeling like THIS is what I always expected MBV to be like.
It was that good. Sure, there was the typical new york city rock 'n' roll
show, but the addition of O'Rourke gives them an added dimension and, I
think, extra incentive to experiment live.
Great show.
Does anyone have recommendations for some of their more experimental stuff?

Subject: [idm] jim o'rouke and sonic youth
Saw jim o'rouke w/sonic youth opening for pearl jam saturday in tampa,
missed the show they did in orlando, cant remember the name alias it was
under, but needless to say the sonic youth set was good. they only did about
5 songs, the show was really a pearl jam freak out, but the stuff sonic
youth did w/o'rouke was good, stuff he did was mix in some live sampling of
kim gordans voice among other things, that she sung into. the crowd was
there for pearl jam not sonic youth so i left wanting more sonic youth,
should have gone to orlando. anyways if you get the chance check out the
stuff jim o'rouke is doing with sonic youth its good, and the stuff under
the alias is sopposed to be more experimental and from what people are
saying great.
and thanks to everyone who replyed about the dr660, i passed on it, but just
got cubase which seems extremly powerful and much more in line for what i
want to do.
