Sonic Youth- 11/08/83 Milan- Burning Spear

[fabedavid]

What's the name of the venue where they played this show? Just curious, I live in Milan.

[goducks20101]

Yes. Or at least similar; look into Glenn Branca and The Swans, as well. This band and these other musicians were part of the No Wave scene (late 1970's in NY) whose purpose was to deconstruct. :-)))

crowd = dead indeed, just like in paris, i was sitting in the back, was too late to go up on front to get close to the stage, but everybody was just being stupid there, i was thinking: i would get crazy if i was so close, dumb french idiots..

[SmashingKinpumps]

the crowd is dead. this may just be noise.. but it's beautiful noise.

[vandi87]

this is just NOISE, right?

[jonoseperque]

i don't think so!

[son1cyouth]

hhmmm.... any other bands that make this kinda music?

[sheepywotsit]

Yes. Or at least similar, look into Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Mars, DNA, James Chance and Contortions. It's all awesome.

[DanBL0N00]

I love this kind of music, it's raw and free, too bad everyone else in my bands hates this music, they just thinks it's 'noise'

[chleague08]

Wow! This has to be the oldest SY video I've ever seen.

I don't know where you got this but thanks!

[dudu7te]

ahh..Bob Bert...

[morpheus0055]

this is no wave at its best man. do they still play this song live anymore? or any songs off s.y or c.i.s?

[corruptedfish]

They couldnt do a lot of stuff they used to,, because all of their equipment was stolen in 99. They had some unique stuff that they couldnt recreate.

[fjallman90]

they opened their concert in gothenburg at the wayoutwest festival this summer with burning spear

[BurningSpear213]

I'm not afraid to say I'm scared,

in my head I'm deep in prayer,

I love the speed, I trust the fear,

the music comes,

the burning spear.

[sparksrule]

shame the bass isnt as prominant as on the EP itself

[hwonk80]

all bow to Sonic Youth...the greatest band EVER

[CoolAsZeppo]

so great karl like

[bunchocarp]

heh, heh, heh.... Ha, HA, HA... Possibly the most over rated indie underground "band" ever. Why get in your car to go see this? Lock yourself in the basement, get real high, and beat the $#@% out of an instrument. Ah, "genius".

[sleater84]

ok, obviously ur deaf cos theres more good melody in 1 sy song than in some bands entire catalouge. How about Teenage Riot, catchyest song ever, cross the breeze has like the best chord progression ive ever herd...

[Cynothoglys]

My god, is that the Drifter?! Before Thurston ripped the frets out? After? Maybe I'm mistaken, but...

And there's that bell sound they described! Cool!

[Twig6]

That's it, my good man!

[Obinjess]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!! I've been looking for this for YEARS!!!!

[mAraujo2]
