This Sonic Youth post brings back some memories! I caught that tour on May 16th, 1998 in Chicago, and bought that very issue of The Wire at Reckless Records the afternoon of the show. The "sweet tapestry" of "giving and taking" and "Kim taking the lead" describes my memory of them playing "Anagrama" from SYR1 very well. Off to watch that video...
it's funny, at the time i thought this SY era was a big drop-off in terms of quality, but I've grown to love it. I think the band was a few years ahead of my musical tastes (as usual).
