FM Audio / Audience Audio





The band would make their next stop on the tour by going to the Trocadero in Philadelphia, for what would be two interesting sets of events.



Early in the day on March 12th, Silverchair would do their soundcheck for that evening's concert at the Trocadero, but they would do it in a more formal manner. Radio station Y100 had a contest to select winners for their Sonic Session with Silverchair. This soundcheck would be that performance.



The Sonic Session recording that is now in the archive is a clear FM broadcast consisting of three songs. Whether this is the full performance or not is debatable, as the recording comes from a rebroadcast of the performance. Either way, events like these were rare in the band's career, as they never liked playing for really small groups of people. In some circulation, the recording of Emotion Sickness is said to have been from the Neon Ballroom launch show. This is inaccurate, as to my understanding there was no official launch show for that album.



The second recording is an audience recording of clear quality from that evening's show. Much like the show from the night before, it includes a more experimental Neon Ballroom era setlist, combining some songs that weren't always heard together on the tour. Most notable about this show is Daniel referring to his solo version of Tomorrow as a not rocking song that people can get up and move around during. Interestingly enough, Daniel also made these same comments during Freak Show tours, right before he would play his solo version of cemetery. Besides that... It was a good show with many fans singing along to all the Frogstomp and Freak Show songs. The encore break is missing from the recording, but it is obvious where in the set it occurred.
