Sonic Youth's first live performance in 2000 and their last as a quartet for some time was a predominately instrumental set at the very first All Tomorrows Parties Festival. Curated by Mogwai, the event took place at Camber Sands Holiday Village in East Sussex, UK, a somewhat charmingly dilapidated summer camp (non-Brits: think Tommy's Holiday Camp). SY opened with a brand new 23-minute sonic assault, "J'Accuse Ted Hughes" (then titled "New Drone" and later to appear as side 1 of SYR 7) and the band performed the bulk of the soon-to-be released "NYC Ghosts & Flowers". "Free City Rhymes" and "Renegade Princess" were played instrumentally. Kim sang "Nevermind" and "Side2Side", Lee sang "NYC Ghosts & Flowers". The encore was "Lightnin" and "Sunday". This was the gig that spawned the fabled NME headline "Goodbye 20th Century, Goodbye Talent"!
