Well, I wasn't implying anyone here is a casual fan; maybe that's not what you meant either though. I meant more people have heard the Daydream Nation record than have EVOL. More casual fans would recognise songs from the former rather than the latter, in likelihood. The Sprawl is one of my favourite ever songs, I didn't mean it's something a hardcore fan wouldn't want to see.
I do take into consideration that they have to rehearse and relearn the songs, but perhaps they should exploit more of their huge discography when they're in that early rehearsal stage.
I love Sonic Youth regardless of what they play anyway though. They could do hour long versions of Melodikim.
