[kaneyadas]

[2112gil]

Kim seems kinda dead in the beginning of the video. :D

[drareg7777]

Dreadful

[muchomovimiento]

wanna murder the archbishop from my country, while im hearing this

[nosecomosell]

Maybe my mind is playing me some tricks but i think Steve looks alike Harry Potter in this vid.

[italianshirtwaist]

people must of just thought they were crazy, that guy in the crowd it like what the fuck is going on hahaha

[yrmirror]

lee's guitar looks rad as hell

[Kaminoisee]

this was the years i was born, and dam i just love how steve keeps that primal groove, so pure, yet so powerful

[songandletter]

Steve looks like a well developing Harry Potter in this stage of his life :)

[rw5791]

The pistols always made their music go up and down but in a very jaded,sarcastic way.Full of venom and hate........for anyone.Che loving commie dildo's or bowler wearing,saville row dandies,it didn't matter.God they were a great band.

[noisesionoise]

sonic youth MUSIC NO LIMITS!

[21dandandan12]

I love videos like this where you get a clear shot of steve in action behind his drum kit. He's amazing

[cupcakestereo]

He looks adorable when they zoom in on him

[eyesintheroad]

Ahh! my ears! just kidding. Amazing footage, inhuman is one of my favorite songs from SY, thanks.

[ZRN959]

i love early Sonic Youth. Just plug the guitar into the amp, fuck with the tuning, turn everything up on the amp, and just go for it.

[cockyrooster]

I'm pretty positive Jimi Hendrix played in that same exact area

[SONICchout]

that's cool...I love Hendrix.

[emile235]

how tall is Thurston? Thurston= Thor's stone  anyway the lyrics. I don't get it

awesome

[bassik123]

like 6'7'' he is a giant

[Jerdna3]

6 ft 6

[disappearerer]

hahaha kim dyed her hair

[SMITHY817]

As a Brightonian and a massive Sonic Youth fan, this footage is priceless!!!

[wontgetfooledagain1]

If English conservatives thought the Sex Pistols were scary, they must have loved Sonic Youth. ;-D

[borbetomagus]

@wontgetfooledagain1 Well, do a search for the opening act of "Sonic Youth at the Forum in London in 1995" and this is rather quaint in comparison.

[skeggia66]

"Hey, we never said we're professional" :-D

[cupcakestereo]

what kind of bass is that? anybody know?

[SONICchout]

it's an ovation magnum.

[cupcakestereo]

thanks! quite odd looking, isn't it? i always thought so at least

[MarsHottentot]

I had a fretless version - the pick up was HUGE and the body had a graphic EQ on it - you could get really insane tones. Then I lost my damn job...

[SONICchout]

haha a grapic eq on a bass? you don't see that often. that would be f'n cool to have.

[juliandunn]

I have a graphic EQ my bass rig. It helps a lot with eliminating mud.

[chepe371]

fuck that u need grime

wat i love about SY all the tones are grimey unprocessed RAW.

none of this 40 fx in the signal chain 2 gates 3 limiters and 5 comps, fuck all that, hands>strings>pickups>cable>am­p>speaker>ears.

[kedgwell]

@chepe371 Hands. Yes. It all begins with Hands.

[pjatwidjag]

thank you SONICchout for all these rare Sonic Youth videos - i enjoyed them very much! upload more. greetings from Russia!

[waterslet]

sonic yotuh is genius

when i wanna share them with friends i allways forget that msot people aren't used to noise:d

they're allways like wtf

but some of my friends dig them now so mission accomplished:)

[GuildfordGhost]

What a find - what an obscure gig. Love the guy on the road above with the shopping bag, totally bemused. I saw SY for the first time last year and I have to say they've aged rather well!

[RabbitHolocaust]

did anybody find this extremely funny?

sonic youth ftw

[heaventree22]

I WANNA BE THURSTON'S DOG

[morvus73]

SONIC roughness, YEAH!!!

[RootDown18]

I've never seen Steve rock out before, and he was really into it!

[cupcakestereo]

kim looks like she's playing guitar for the first time in her life

[blacklabelsk8erX]

awesome, just absolutely awesome

[cupcakestereo]

[SONICchout]

[t4769mp]
