I can't believe they're finishing every set with The Doors...who's even singing for them?

Starting! And it's not The Doors, its Doors, this kid with a ukulele who lived in a well until he was 18 (now 19. Says he's never heard of the old group, but that his songs were "doors" out of his well.

Sonic Youth trying to follow Fucked Up (and Chavez, actually) is going to be pretty unfortunate, I'd guess.

Pretty unfortunate for Fucked Up, I'd say!

I mean, I'm old and often root for grandma and grandpa, but the idea of SY having anything interesting to do after FU is just about impossible to imagine. Good luck to them...

also chavez is the best band ever and sonic youth are boring

I'm going. Excited about pretty much every aspect of it.

Sonic Youth played after everyone at ATP a few weeks ago (Fucked Up included, fwiw), and absolutely crushed.

Hahaha Abb my ex made that exact same joke upon reading the set list of last years Becks Party festival show with Melt Banana and co.

Wait... S-Ban & the Witch are now on Matador?

Also, I'm so envious of you folks getting to see Come again.

so pfm is going to stream some of those concerts here:
http://pitchfork.com/festivals/matador-21/myspace/
but right now it only shows some dudes hanging around in a room

wonder if this time spiral stairs will let them stream pavement's gig

right now it only shows some dudes hanging around in a room

It's a tribute to the start of the label, obv.

loooool

honestly it feels ike they're blowing their wad on the first night

Because

a) you KNOW liz phair is gonna try and do new stuff and

b) Not 100% sure Neko is with the New pornos and who gives a shit if it's Calder...

sweet .. thanks for that link, V79!! didn't know about that, and just in time to see F'd Up/Pvmnt/da Youth

not sure about the F'd Up dude bringing out his brat tho, kinda lame. One of my best buds is out there. mildly jealous but other than tonight the only other bands I'm interested in are Come and The Clean. Come is streaming tomorrow, it looks like, yay! but apparently no Clean set? :-(

Myspace is also streaming it.

http://www.myspace.com/music/blog/2010/9/26/matador-at-21-livestream-schedule

And SY is on right now!

haha, same stream.

Haahah I managed to clic on this just as SY came on stage.

"Tom Violence" ! :D

ok THAT was sweet. great set -- and thanks for that link, nickn.

Apparently, the full-screen view must be disabled from the P-Frok link. at least, it didn't work for me in Firefox. When I clicked full-screen it seems disabled. When I switched to your myspace link, it worked. Thurston/Lee swordfight plus Thurston's crack in HD, awesome!

Yah it didnt fullscreen for me either but i assumed it was cos of the embedding.

Nice set, few sloppy bits but theyve always been like that live I suppose. Kims voice grates on me the more she ages, tho :(

They did 'Mote' ... I was so happy.

So Ive now seen this band live at various times for 22 years. Wau.

19 for me (first was 'Goo' tour in '91 ...)

actually, holy shit, I take that back ... more like 20 years .. becuz I just googled it, and not only did I find the date, I found the whole setlist Plus all the STAGE BANTER!!:

http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/cc/102090.html

that is fucking crazy

Crap wait, me too. I thought I went to the 88 or 89 tour but I didnt (bf got me a tshirt is all), so yeah 91 it was. Hiphoprasy supported them.

i guess i just never really explored sonicyouth.com before

OK that stage banter transcript is mental fandom.

Huh wait it was 93 according to that site. My memory is shit.

apparently they have kept records of not only set-lists, but, when available, stage banter from every damn show!

http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/cc/sytour2.html

they really must be our generations Grateful Dead :-/ .. I didn't recall that 'Goo' tour being in 1990, I thought it was '91. but yeah, Redd Kross opened (and they were great too, they came out and sang back-up vocals during "Goo")

Fullscreen was good on the myspace link. Very nice feed, too. I think I first saw them in the early 90s at the Palladium in LA.

Pavement at midnight!

holy crap ... SM Spiral fite?

Wait wut? I wasnt watching

seemed liek when Sprial did his one (1!) song, SM rly disrespected it, didn't play nice, spun around on his back and made it a joke. afterward, seemed like real dirty looks exchanged between the two .. weird, i dunno

no "Here"
no "Summer Babe"

one thing abt the PVMNT reunion, no 2 setlists the same....

I gave up watcing this set after about half a song :/ They seem so jaded and crud now.

You gave too soon! I was not expecting much because I've seen them put on flat shows before & I was worried after the first couple tunes they were just punching the clock but this was by far the most energetic and just I guess entertaining I've ever seen them. As a guitarist SM is just light years beyond where he was back in the day. Range Life was beautiful I thought.

But Sonic Youth was ferocious tonight.

Maybe Im spoiled for Pvmt having seen them when Gary was still the drummer, they were really sparky back then.

me 2

only saw PVMT twice before the last couple months. Saw them on the first tour, with Gary Young, it was at the Lounge Ax in Chicago (band Frances Gumm was one of the openers, can't remember the other.) Then, also saw them again with West as drummer, before "Crooked Rain" came out ... this would have been the 'Drag City Invitational' fest, at Lounge Ax. Never saw them again until this year's reunion shows!

but I have enjoyed them. at least, the two that I saw in person, Pitchfork fest in Chicago, and Millennium Park in Chicago. I just watched the webcast for tonight. But, I dunno, something seemed lacking in that Las Vegas show .. maybe the guys are getting tired, who knows

Fuck! missed the first 15 minutes of Come. got too damn wrapped up in my fantasy baseball league (last weekend...)

Gah I cant work out the time diff now we have DST and I have to go to the vet in an hour... I hope I dont miss Superchunk! :/

thanks for alerting, didn't know about this. sonic youth set from last night on now.

can't stay up late enough for either b&s or gbv, any sense of when/if they'll replay these?

Anyone picked up the box set? Impressions?

so they are showing this show (supposedly live on My Space) and Spoon is up next. not sure if it's live for the rest of the country but here in Los Angeles they are coming up next.

It is pretty live, from what I can tell, and Superchunk were fucking awesome.

Bee OK are you even reading threads anymore?

yeah i just thought it is really, really late on the East Coast for this to be live.

vegas

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck I forgot to watch Superchunk :(

is ksh my live concert blog partner around if it's 2:27 AM?

Spoon are sounding good

"This is a Jay Reatard song"

into "Everything Hits At Once" from Girls Can Tell, they seem to be in a down mood. loving it.

is anyone else watching this?

Spoon have been great.

the geeks are now on

it's after two o'clock in the morning, goodnite

anybody watching this now?

ted leo and his pharmacists seem like a nice bunch of kids.

i'm morbidly curious about what kid of set liz phair will deliver.

GBV!GBV!GBV!
Whatv time are these heroic figures taking the stage, anyone know?

11:30 PST per the website. i will be sleeping i hope, much as i love them.

tl just turned in a smoking "ballad of the sin eater"

Yeah I can't stay up that late, but I will be seeing them in person in a few weeks so its fine by me.

gbv are coming any second

Pitchfork seems to be re-streaming Ted Leo and The New Pornographers back-to-back (with a 30 or 40 minute gap in between their sets).
Does anyone know if they will be re-streaming any of the other sets, or if they'll archive any of the performances?

How was GBV?

Starting! And it's not The Doors, its Doors, this kid with a ukulele who lived in a well until he was 18 (now 19. Says he's never heard of the old group, but that his songs were "doors" out of his well.

lol

In case anyone's interested here's a piece I wrote about going to Matador 21 - http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/132750-we-were-digging-for-something-matador-21-october-1-3-2010-las-vegas-/

ilx's goofy code finally comes in handy for once!

ah i guess "in handy", not trying to self-promote just thought people might be interested. but if they are they'll find it.

sooo, should i buy this matador at 21 box set? y/n

I was mighty tempted, but once I read the full tracklist I realized just how much of it I already had and it suddenly felt silly to pay for it all again.
