I love when bands do this. I saw Patti Smith do "Horses" in its entirety live and in order 2 years ago. It was great.

i might kill myself if i dont get a ticket for sy

I hope they record the performance.....there's definitely a lack of high-quality live performances by Sonic Youth, and this one would certainly be worth it.

fucking totally.

i'm going to get on to chris habib about it.
