this is awesome, i have been looking into buying old CD boots lately and good SY ones are not so common, hopefully this will do just as well.
I don't see a CD option however would probably be CDR anyways.

Have I heard anything live from 1998? I don't think so.

Man. Bad Moon Rising is something special. I don't listen to it nearly enough. I won't say I forgot about it, but listening to it today after an awful run was pretty eye opening and cathartic. That run of songs from "Society is a Hole" thru "I'm Insane" flows so seamlessly and it all feels like a walk through an industrial wasteland. Death Valley 69 is up there with their best album closers, too.
I consider Evol and Sister to be the beginning of more song-oriented SY, but BMR sure was a hell of a goodbye to their no wave years.

That’s one of the few (maybe the only) SY bootlegs I own. I’m excited to hear a mastered copy. Thanks for the heads up.

I’ll have to look. It’s on a CDR and I don’t remember how I transferred it or where it came from.

There was a limited edition CD release of the Battery Park show bundled with some version of The Eternal, it’s one song longer (Silver Rocket IIRC) than any other release and sounds great.
I think I passed FLAC copies around to a few people a while back, maybe you too wm?
Anyway, happy to assist again if needed.

Oddly, my memory of this show is not that strong other than I remember enjoying it whilst my future wife felt tortured, that in the fifth (and final) Sonic Youth show I saw them play a hit song (Bull in the Heather), and that I misguidedly went to the South Street Seaport for the fireworks afterwards which left us with no view and me with a terrible stomach ache. But both Sonic Youth and the Feelies rocked.

I havent checked out the new bootleg, and i really want to even if its from a really weird SY phase for me.
Thurston Moore, founder of rock band Sonic Youth, has a new CD boxset album on the way.
Called Spirit Counsel, the album from Moore’s Thurston Moore Group includes the extended compositions recorded between 2018 and 2019, and laid out on three compact discs, and will be up for grabs on International Peace Day, Sept. 21.
“This collection represents a period of reflection on spiritual matters, collective musical friendships, and a time and space universally, without words or languages to distract from meditation,” a press release explains.
The first CD, called Alice Moki Jayne, explores the noise guitar and honors female jazz greats Alice Coltrane, Moki Cherry and Jayne Cortez.
The boxset takes an orchestral turn with the second CD, Galaxies, in which a whopping 12 guitarists work as one instrument.
“Taking inspiration from a poem by Sun Ra ‘Galaxies’ ponders our place in the universe as we stare into imagery offered by satellites via space agencies,” the release tells us.
Last but not least, the final CD, 8 Spring Street, is Moore’s personal homage to avant-garde composer and guitarist Glenn Branca. The title of the CD is an address in New York City, the apartment where Moore first visited Branca, his mentor, to rehearse.
The set also includes a 20-page artist book of photos and captions edited by Moore that explain the creative process behind the set. Spirit Counsel will be released by the Daydream Library Series, a new record label founded in 2018 by Moore and Eva Prinz.
would probably be CDR anyways.
