[TheEnchantingWizard1]

Best song ever.

[wowbobwow37]

One of the best shows I've ever seen. Coming from a long time Sonic Youth fan, Going to this show was a dream come true!!

[danielibertine]

[ZXPA2]

[ahindat2]

my fav song, from my fav band from my fav album just great.

[gsn1hiroland]

Best Sonic Youth song ever. This is how they closed @ their concert in Birmingham. Nothing gets the adrenaline pumping more.

[songandletter]

accept for when they played Brother James in NYC on the same tour, I was there at birmingham right newt to the person who got the setlist, they were supposed to play the Sprawl before Cross the Breeze for the second encore but the crowd wasn't really into the show if you remember, I think thats why they skipped it.

[janotosinnumeros]

amazing song

[coughcool72]

thanks to the uploader, never heard such a crisp live guitar sound, a lot have that real FLAT sound.

[TheNadster2]

i wanna get daydream nation now!

[mattisprettycool]

you mean..you don't have it?!

[TheNadster2]

hehe now i hav it and its sickkk (in the good sense) my first sonic youth album

[drgals]

Yeah!! the trilogy definitely rocks in that album... sounds abstract and dreamy, yet strong...

[quartertonality]

@TheNadster2 Holy shit! That's such a great place to start.

[davidmjeong926]

unbelievable. never thought a bootleg vid could be this outstanding.

[lamalasombra]

Esta tema..mueve montañas...llegará el día..en que sea yo el que les devuelva la visita y me largue a verlos a Nueva York...han venido tantas veces..los he visto tantas veces..que no merecen menos...amo Cross the Breeze y amo a Sonic Youth

[antropoidex]

yo espero que vengan a argentina.... :S

quartertonality, thanks for this amazing contribution!

[rfenyk]

This is actually an amazing video. The colors. The sound. I have this listed on my favorites and have watched it several times. And at the end, Lee makes such a beautiful sound to finish off one of SY's best raw songs.

[listentokingme]

Why do you dicks bother your hole uploading videos with shit quality. I've searched through 5 videos now, all with shit sound and grainy images. It's just clutter. No one gives a shit that you filmed sonic youth on your crappy 8 maga pixel camera.

[quartertonality]

I'm so so sorry that I don't have high quality for you. This is simply a document of a concert that I went to, instead of keeping them to myself I post them to youtube to hopefully share with people that appreciate it. This was an amazing show and other people may be interested in seeing it.

I don't appreciate your comments.

[listentokingme]

Haha I was only joking really, the sound is not that bad actually.

[wowbobwow37]

A Sonic Youth lovers dream. Indescribably awesome. I was in Sonic heaven.

[pndg]

yo tb lo espero

[mradamcooley]

their best song.

[Caribou1983]

I hope they play this one in Chile! :D

[crucialdude]

yo también :D

[chleague08]

Great vid. I absolutely love this band

[meandurmomhavesecks]

Sonic Youth sucks, so badly

[quartertonality]

I happen to disagree, so strongly.

[meandurmomhavesecks]

Like I care? I know the truth, you are the one hiding in delusion :/

[quartertonality]

You know what? You're right. Oh god, my life is a lie.

[ExaggeratedCool]

And I bet you listen to good music right?

Personally, when I don't like a band, I don't go an click on videos of them.

[meandurmomhavesecks]

I saw all the comments saying 'such a good song!" thinking I finally found a song by this awful band that is good but... no.

[ExaggeratedCool]

Then if you can't identify Sonic Youth as being a good band, you have terrible taste.

[meandurmomhavesecks]

Ha, you call that music? It's just noise, awful noise.

[ExaggeratedCool]

Noise? Please, I'm sure if it was just noise they wouldn't have influenced every alternative rock band that exists today.

[meandurmomhavesecks]

It's noise, seriously

[limbobbins]

suck our collective balls.

Schizophrenia is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and music is just glorified noise anyway.

[meandurmomhavesecks]

How will I ever recover from that?

Sonic Youth is just noise srsly

[quartertonality]

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ENOUGH ALREADY!! For fuck's sake, I understand everyone's point. Now stop posting to this video for crying out loud! I don't really give a FUCK if you like SY or not! Did you like the video? No? Ok, fine, I can understand that, now SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

[meandurmomhavesecks]

kthnxbby

[meandurmomhavesecks]

I actually will admit I do like the song 'Superstar" by them

[quartertonality]

That is a cover of a Carpenters song that they did for the compilation "If I were a Carpenter". Their rendition is pretty great though.

[meandurmomhavesecks]

I know, I heard the original and it was pretty meh

Send me links to more songs by this Sonic Youth so maybe I can find more songs by them I don't hate

[foggyd1]

wow, your a tosser mate

[sonofthestork]

thank you good sir.

[sonofthestork]

EXACTLY. i think the problem is that only musicions can appreciate sonic youth's musical complexity and beauty.but oh well. if they had as many fans as they deserved itd be odd. the underestimated quality of sonic youth is part of their godlyness.

[sonofthestork]

Are you fucking retarded? oh my god id LOVE to hear the shitty bands you listen to. this song is gorgeous. my fav off of daydream nation actully. so how bout cleaning out the shitty music that your ears are used to, comming back and relizeing what your missing

[parthnerhorse]

great song and all of of thems

[youropinionsbad]

fucking amazing

[NirvanaSonicYouth]

Best song amazingly performed.

[losnarcoticos]

Such a great performance!

After the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth is the best American rock band, and that is a fact! I still can't believe I haven't seen them live. I couldn't stay in New York for the McCarren park show last august...

[ttapperton]

I was there and this concert was unbelievable. GZA was great and SY owned. Wish I could've seen Animal Collective this year!

[abake]

Fabulous!

Thanks a lot.

[oglockwood]

i went to pitchfork this year but i wish i went last year too...this plus gza and liquid swords...probably would've been the best show ever. although at the time i had never even heard daydream nation or liquid swords.

[rfenyk]

Oh my fucking God that is the best footage of one of their best. Visually this vid is amazing. Sonic-ly it is the most true to the album version but with that wonderful live energy. Keep touring SY!

[shyartist79]

awesome song....id give my left nut to turn back time to 2007 and see the daydream nation tour...now im gonna go kill myself good bye cruel "non daydream nation tour" world

[johannesjuanes]

[gattolo]

WOAH love this song too much...

their style is kinda freak, woah

[chillidogdupree]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[viejotelevisor]

love this performance

[fishingrhod]

awe.

thanks

[machinesbreathe]

Killer footage of one vicious song. Up-close but not washed out.

Personally speaking, I've always considered this song, and the one preceeding it, "The Sprawl" as one cohesive piece. Maybe it's the manner in which the outro of the first song segues into the intro of the next.

[adellutri]

Wow, that's so great! I had forgotten how much I really loved that album, and that song!

[bowlliam]

i was at that show, about 5 feet behind the guy who taped this...sonic youth kicks so much ass it's hard to comprehend, and seeing this performance live was the greatest moment ever...thanx for posting this

[quartertonality]

That's awesome! Thanks for checking this out, that reminds me that I have to post the rest of this show on here, I have it all right here on this CD in front of me. I'm glad you enjoyed it, that was a great show, absolutely unforgettable.

[smides1]

[taretti]

Oh weon!!! ojala vengan algún día... weon estoy casi llorando viendo este tema acá en vivo... imaginate como estaría si lo veo en vivo de verdad !!!!

GRANDE SONIC YOUTH !!!

[TeenageWildlife]

looks like a fucking good time

[calvinrocks]

FAv song on daydream....savage rifff

[velvetrevolution4u]

GREAT VID!!! I usually hate hand filmed video's, but, whatever its imperfections, it captures the electricity of being right there in the room watching it. It captures how FUCKING AMAZING Sonic Youth is. They are one of modern music's Seven Wonders of the World!

[quartertonality]

Thanks very much. I typically don't prefer to watch "bootleg" vids of concerts. I am glad that you enjoyed this one. I am still (haha, a week later) adding videos to youtube from this concert.

[simargl]

wow must of been amazing

[dredg12]

this song saw some nutsotivity. very good times

[bx000]

Awesome vid.  You got close.

[quartertonality]

Thanks. Yeah, I camped out through GZA's set and didn't even bother seeing Slint, it was rough shooting this set getting pushed around and all that, but I think in the end it was worth it.
