Pavement - Fin (Live)

[biscuthead123]

i find this easy to masturbate to

[MrBellender]

this for me is a must anything three brews and up. and @chaosprune, if you can't feel the Hendrix in that solo you, well why say something snooty cause i love ya brother, but Malkmus was feelin this like Hendrix at Woodstock. check Hendrix Villinova Junction at Woodstock. get the same feeling in your heart. aint nothing like a cat going off on it thats when we feel it. it be the spirit being set free, peace to thee!

[neiltay2002]

Malkmus aint touching those harmonies  :-)

[AirHendrix91]

Best solo ever. Hands down.

[jodysoldman]

damn...just listened again and the hair on my balls stood up

[Evocati2008]

SM's guitar is really weeping, but not gently. Gives me goosebumps everytime, goes to show that amazing solos don't have to be a riff of a thousand notes per second, rather hitting the right notes.

[jodysoldman]

I've viewed this video multiple times over the course of the years, and every time I actually FEEL the guitar solo

[Mrowlshoes]

I love to love pavement.

[Colinmayr]

agreed. one of the best solos. ever. ever.

[MrBellender]

Hendrix is proud of Malkmus.

[chaosprune]

@MrBellender, but Hendrix is dead. Malkmus is alive.

[Oldshirt]

This performance is pure gold.

[sushilll111]

Fillmore Jive and Fin are the two best closers ever.

And I think we can all agree that on Wowee it should have ended with Pueblo after Half a Canyon, not Western Homes.

[BigBrightBlueBox]

@sushilll111 , Couldn't agree more. This is my favorite song, probably one of the saddest tracks I've ever heard. It screams with held back emotion.

[NelsaoCB]

Open call for prison architects...

[jodysoldman]

I've never been exactly sure why...but Malkmus has been my favorite guitarist for the past 20 years. To me he is Midas

[reusablecatmilk]

the crowd must not know who they're seeing cause they weren't very enthusiatic, thanks for posting...3 year ago

[Evocati2008]

regardless, they got a great performance. This, Transport Is Arranged, Blue Hawaiian, Cut Your Hair were all right on.

I'm jealous of those unappreciative bastards, lol

[hollywoodpurplehaze]

TIMELESS

[muffstrokes]

Fodastico,

pena tem poucos videos do pavement na net!

[Evocati2008]

Absolutely amazing. Better than thier cut on the album, IMO. SM just shreds.

[gm0809501]

One of the most beautiful songs of all time. The live performance really captures the sense of finality that pervades the song in a way that the recorded version doesn't. It's strange, but listening to this version, I can understand how the song was called "Fin" and "Infinite Spark." Thank you, very much, to whoever posted this. It's a treasure

[mofffat]

thats a nice habit of them. they choose appropiatly songs for starting, carrying you through the cd and finishing. and all crooked rain, wowee and brighten have beautiful perfect for ending songs

[mohammad5]

@gm0809501 couldn't disagree with you any more.

[panxtau]

good food  for my brain

[davemorphine]

ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR SOLOS EVER!!! :D Really!

[pinug79]

Its gota be at least top 3... its brilliant

[kingny17]

@davemorphine its like the punk version of little wing

[V37324N]

Abacka

[tom656]

Very recently got into pavement, and its songs like this that make me so happy i have, no matter how late.

[W0weeZ0wee]

glad to see you found Pavement. you are lucky for that because you have all of their music collection to enjoy which will all be new to you.

[pavement27]

Love the comment and love the name...

[jryan1971]

Two drummers? What's up wit dat?

[deekay629]

wheres SS?

[someboots]

RIP stephen Malkmus. I just can't believe he died today.

[Evocati2008]

legends never die

[fastguild2007]

5/5 incredible live performance ... 2:40 on is especially good : )

[Evocati2008]

great song

[sebazapp]

The only regret in my life is to never have seen them in concert...

[pavement27]

ditto...Amazing band

[W0weeZ0wee]

well don't regret any further, see them when they tour in 2010! they reunited to tour one last time :D

[sebazapp]

you are kidding me! Do you where I could get some information about this tour? I am wondering if it will reach even Italy....at least european cities, I am willing to treavel ditant to not miss them....

[Evocati2008]

They are doing Primavera in Barcelona '10.

[AirHendrix91]

What DVD is this off of?

[mrfoogaba2005]

Its a recording of festival gig at the famous rock am ring broadcasted by german tv.

[AirHendrix91]

Can I get a DVD of it or is it just online?

[mrfoogaba2005]

I'm afraid its just online.

[Radixxs]

Amazing.

[HobbesEnd]

amazing performance, but that haircut makes Malkmus look like Noah Wylie!

[adman63]

man, best pavement song

[slocorrr]

the btc deluxe reissue is f great, get it

[cardrew]

the fade out to this song on the album is just beautiful

[conditionoakland]

god where are you stephen malkmus leave the jicks in the dust and come back to me

[dayne1234]

Amen to that.

[Zatzzo]

is this song called fin or infinite spark? im confused.

[takeittothemall]

fin in the US, infinite spark everywhere else.

[lintotbe]

it's odd, because I have a Japanese pressing of the album and it is titled Fin

[Zatzzo]

oh thanks.

[nightfall91]

Best song off Brighten the Corners, such a wonderful album.

[jamiethomaslane]

FUCKING AWESOME! This has got to be my favourite Pavement tune ever.

[artichuck]

So effortlessly cool. Damn SM, SS, MI all look so goodamn suave as they rip these atonal fukallya riffs, which fit there perfectly...great stuff. Vintage pavement.

[nostalgiablows]

Yep. They just had that certain something, didn't they? It just flowed out without a lot of fuss. It's the whole band, too - the whole package. At the time I saw them as simply the best of those that were doing similar things, but now I see them as way more than that.

[V37324N]

No more absolutes.

[takeittothemall]

does anyone have any idea whether stephen's jazzmaster is vintage or CIJ? Since he's started using it in 1997, it obviously couldn't be an american reissue, which came out in 1999, right?

[cheeseboy777]

It's bloody hard to tell as the footage is a bit grainy, the fact that it's so beat up (note the missing tone knob and toggle cap) I'd guess vintage. I've played plenty of cij ones, they're excellent guitars.

[pixiewhixie]

which festival is it?

[chrich123]

bizarre festival 1997. have been there

[eilfield]

"Arch...Ab...1,2,3, I remember now"

SM

[dayne1234]

Amazing. From 3:04 on is just mind blowing, wow!

[najanial]

can you upload the whole show

[DanielPatrickHead]

....what retov11 said!!

[FablesJonny]

PAVEMENT IS THE GREATEST BAND!!

we should start a covers band. i nominate guitar!!

any1 in south east engalnd up 4 it?

[scousemouse69]

Wish they were still around, great song, dodgy start here though, could do better, ah what the fuck,,

[40594059]

oh,thanks

[40594059]

My brighten the corners says "Infinite Spark".What's up with that?

[jrnls80s]

The European name of the song is Infinite Spark.

[drdread70]

The greatest song written by Malkmus, and that's saying a lot. One of my favorite guitar verses of all time at the end of the song.

[mcikarus]

Best version ever. I think it's from the Bizarre Festival.

[plastictreehugger]

how come pavement live sucks so bad and the cd's are so great?

[abstractdawn]

Because your whole perception of live music has been degraded by MTV and Calvin Klein models posing as singers, twats in uneaven haircuts and people who mime. If you actually got up off your arse and went to a live show of some description one day you would realise that it's about the exprience and and being there that counts... and No. seeing My Chemical Romance doesnt count either.

[retov11]

You have understood nothing about this music.

[HeadUnit420]

excellent...thanks for uploading this!!!

[Treyh85]

This live version is way better than the version on their Slow Century dvd, but they both rock of course..

[ralf778899]

There are not many bands who are allowed to do a guitar solo like that without getting the power switched off.

[bjmaho]

what are you talking about that solo is sick

[ralf778899]

Yea...I love it.

[lonerboom]

..the singer looks like tony hawk.

[mcbiggest]

Tony Hawk is eight years younger than Malkmus. I suppose that would make Hawk the one that looks like Malkmus, not vice-versa.

[gregoryriding]

'images see-saw, gather, colonise'...Malkmus is a genius!

[thecaptainblack]

it's "amateur sea-salt gatherers colonize" retard

[mcbiggest]

Hey, Malkmus makes different versions every time he performs... you should know that... Although I doubt he ever said that. Anyways don't be so harsh.

[doitnow97]

sounds a little off key,or maybe i need to tune my ears..

[Apolito85]

tune them

[mcbiggest]

You obviously don't know Pavement that well... the key is whatever Malkmus chooses, always!

[gigi46]

So beautiful.

Pavement is the coolest band ever

[arielnaif]

THe best song of Pavement!I love Malkmus.

[geoffmilkshake]

awesome
