NOTES

  • Recorded October 7th, 2001 at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. Chris Habib posted video of this entire show on sonicyouth.com back when it originally happened. Debut of five "Murray Street" songs, including instrumental versions of "Strawberry" and "Karenology". Thurston had previously performed the other 3 songs solo.

  • RELEASE NOTES:
  • Some brief notes: Thurston Kim and I all lived downtown, and our studio on Murray Street was downtown. In fact pieces of one of the engines landed on the roof of our studio building, that's how close we were. The events of 9/11 were traumatic for so many, and too close for comfort for some of us. Many people were doing heroic work around the clock in the aftermath. This benefit show at The Bowery Ballroom was literally put together in a weeks time, shortly after we regained access to the studio and our gear. The show was in benefit for Central American workers killed in World Trade Center attacks and featured the following performers, in addition to SY: Tom Verlaine band, Paul Flaherty/Chris Corsano duo, Eileen Myles-Kim-Jim-DJ Olive quartet, Cat Power and a set by DJ Olive. Five new songs that we'd been working on - that later appeared on the Murray Street album - were debuted at this show in nascent forms. --LR
