Pavement "Grounded" Live

[shamrockjustice]

the riff is......

the way the guitars are recorded in the studio version is just amazing... it's one of these songs where you can't really tell what they're playing, you don't think about chords, something that happens with most Pavement songs...it's like pure music, and weird notes put together.. pure music as something new and weird and exciting.

[pmandrade89]

does somebody has the rest of this show?

[BillyOfOckham]

@pmandrade89 looks to me like this is from Slow Century

[JohnnyNny94]

This is my favorite Pavement song. It's fucking beautiful. I always sing along to it. haah

[slopium]

saw them play this at the Greek in Berkeley last summer (2010)for the reunion tour... love love love love love Pavement, love this song....They are possibly the most important Indie band ever!

[AFXAcid37]

i saw 'em last year in boston... unfortunately i was far back, but still... fucking Pavement!!!

[elvarfreyrelvarsson]

the absolute coolest guitar nerd-hero ever ....

[KwlNerd]

Is this a summer song for anyone else? or is it just me? ha

[lofi73]

@KwlNerd Probably just you....Nice tune nonetheless

[easyluckyfree7]

@KwlNerd that's so interesting. i always return to this song in the winter. it's perfect for gloomy days. you've just made me see it in a different light

[KwlNerd]

@easyluckyfree7 It feels like one of those summer relaxing songs, reminds of sitting in a field doing sweet sweet nothing :)

[wevegotafileonyou]

@KwlNerd Don't know why but i consider it as a winter song (if it really exists)...

[Heuh999]

@KwlNerd Completely ! It's been a month I've been listening to this song over and over... Only happens in summer

[KwlNerd]

@Heuh999 Has a great chill-out vibe to it. And the lyrics just describe my summers.

[popopo1888]

3:12 - 4:06 is amazing

[7sterling]

I need louder speakers.

[7sterling]

man. If I ever do anything that cool...

[modestlyneutral]

This is fucking amazing. Pavement are undoubtedly one of the greatest bands ever.

[beaugiov]

Pavements been around since 1989 fools! give em props they deserve. very influential band! they have and continue to give 110%

[melanien]

when is this?

[modestdarkness]

i think theyre modest mouse wannabes

[ssmorris222]

@modestdarkness could be the dumbest thing ever said on youtube

[JustinStarbuck]

@modestdarkness modest mouse sucks

[TheBensont123]

@JustinStarbuck modest mouse is actually great. especially their older stuff. but it's your opinion

[cannabisabuser]

@modestdarkness Yea, playing gigs when Isaac was still shitting in diapers.

[rssnowblind0]

@cannabisabuser Agreed. Pavement was already pretty big when Modest Mouse was just starting Im pretty sure

[imjohnandyouare]

@modestdarkness Modest mouse was rally fuckin good in the 90's but these guys were making music first. and their style isnt really the same

[bigd934]

yeee sounded just as good live 9/18/10 in Boston. great concert

[mikewvt]

ya--why not listen to the vid from the 9/18/10 boston show! Agganis arena acoustics accepting--awesome.

[Hoss06]

Look at malkmus kick ass on the guitar.

[jfenright]

Where and when was this recorded?

[jbraxtoncooper]

Up there, but Stop Breathing is hard to beat.

[paulrpinson]

objectively this is probably the best pavement song

[big15mins]

yeah thebest!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it

[zazeify]

Stephen. Laid-back punk to the end.

[cirkatomic]

i luv the hexx for myself

[kiwiallblacks11]

pablo

[AirHendrix91]

Behind the back!

[sexyEmma4u]

Its only bands like PAVEMENT and EARTH CULTURE that really know how to kick ass!!

[MrBellender]

beauty

[OIcoryIO]

Flying to Spain and seeing them in Barcelona at Primavera Sound. Missed them the first time around. Can't wait to see them finally.

[SexOnFire17]

DAMN!!! This song is FRESH!!!!

[hankvessel]

I can't wait to see them at pitchfork, wow.

[DrAsshat]

There's no better principle than just not giving a fuck and playing what comes out. Pavement are true American heroes.

[firedownbelow958]

this is good, but the version on the slow century dvd is better.

[AirHendrix91]

@firedownbelow958 This IS the version from the Slow Century DVD.

[isalegal]

such a beautiful song. may 21, 2010 prague. cant wait to see them live

[modestomi]

prague and vienna as well!

[TheCousin666]

one of their greatest songs...

[chirst75]

March 1, 2010, Auckland, New Zealand - I can barely contain myself!!!!!

[Evocati2008]

awesome, man. Extremely jealous, but Pavement was always very close to New Zealand and Australia. They idolized alot of your great bands. I guess it's only fitting that they open over there. Have a great one....and try to get some good footage ;-)

[blatspanner]

effing goosepimples every time.

[jfenright]

@blatspanner - same

[hobocakes]

man SM soloing with the guitar on his head...whoa!

[cacauaua]

They're fucking awesome ! I'll go to Paris to see them on May 7th, hope they'll play this one !

[Fernandovba]

How Worldly will their World Tour actually be?

There's a definate need to play this in Brazilian shores.

[hendrixfan143]

@Fernandovba Well im pretty sure it will be everywhere. At leas Mexico, it depends how commited you are. I hope to see them at least 4 times this year.. fingers crossed

[lukeashmoore]

best pavment performance ever

[blatspanner]

aye,no' bad.

[ShinobiBoiX]

cool

[lapdogwilly1]

Greatest pavement song ever, anyone?

[brainmove]

Agree.... vehemently

[ZRN959]

@lapdogwilly1 I second that ruling.

[UnbirthdayGirl13]

@lapdogwilly1 : Definitely ...

[pogi7]

@lapdogwilly1 Man it just might be... other than Grounded I would strongly argue "In the Mouth of a Desert", "Rattled by the Rush", "Elevate Me Later", & "Stop Breathin"

[sartori69]

@pogi7 Greenlander!

[pogi7]

@sartori69 I just heard it for the first time now... wow! Another good Pavement song, tnx

[zombiesaredudes]

@lapdogwilly1 everyone.

[jakep34]

@lapdogwilly1 I've yet to find a better track.. although I'd say Elevate Me Later probably ties it.

[maxsalty01]

@lapdogwilly1

Sh#t yes.

[maxsalty01]

@lapdogwilly1 yes.

[gloomandglow]

@lapdogwilly1 greatest SONG ever.

[dawnchorus329]

September 2010 can't fuckin wait!

[Laubotje]

may 2010 here!

[tom656]

i almost cried when they confirmed they were coming to the uk, so what if its in like a year, i can die a happy man when i see pavement live.

[20manu08]

just waiting for this moment....

[takeovermdp]

pavement come to ARGENTINA!!!!!!

[jazzmaster341]

I'M SO HAPPY THEY"RE REFORMING!!!

[TheMetro28]

wtf?

[PeterYorkProduction]

just bought my tickets for central park!!!!! AHHH!!!!!!

[frusciante2439]

Anybody have tabs for rhythm and lead ?

[han444]

I know where you can find the tabs.

[eraseablefeatures]

J.E GILBERT IS THAT YOU

[Slander78]

Awesome. Hope I get to see them again. Amazing song, one of my faves. Was this video recorded in Chicago?

[thecrowdrocks]

This song is so good

[JusticekneeWilypig]

THE wonderful album.

[tom656]

Sensational! I want them to get back together, I was too young to see them first time round!

[SuperBedford]

me toooo!

[meshhat2]

The BEST! LOVE IT

[joedavis04]

i met stephen a little over a year ago at a jicks show in indy. to behonest i thought he was extremely nice. we spent more than 45 mins talking. i sure that towards the end of pavement the stress level was high. that may have effected alot of how he acted towards spiral. being in a band that lond can be difficult. specially when the members are moving in different direction.

you can check out a video from the jicks show on my page.

[kayak0055]

Hmm. After watching the DVD, and learning about all the drama between SM and Spiral, I can't help but be reminded of it when watching vids like this, or even listening to songs. I mean, SM comes across as a real douche, and I haven't heard good things about him online either. It seems like Scott was always getting shafted by him. BUT, I must say the double guitar in this live version is fucking killer!

[Phelsuma04]

You can't blame SM he has the talent!

[cactaceous]

Stephen himself has admitted that he acted like a dickhead at the end of Pavement, he even called himself the skinny prima donna. He was very frustrated because he was the only one growing as a musician. The others are just not as good as he is and it was weighing his creativity down. He was even pissed on occasions when the others would fuck up, but then again he fucked up regularly himself, and still does. He just wanted to play with better musicians to raise his game. And he did and does.

[sushilll111]

Maybe, maybe not. As good as his new band is, his new music still isnt up to the same level as the first four proper Pavement albums at all in my opinion. Still enjoyable of course.

[thismartin]

Good point, pavement albums are better than his solo stuff.

[weatherboxlisp]

this performance toppled me! fuck, i wish i was there.

[scottchez]

Best Song Ever!!!

[RuaRobot234]

easily one of my most favorite pavement songs...

[goozer66]

absolutely incredible

[fastguild2007]

Excellent, such a great video, thx 4 posting this!

[AirHendrix91]

MORE MORE MORE!

[leegrenade]

sheer class..my mate rcons they are thinking about getting back together,he`s in the industry and they`ve been together for the reissues..lets hope

[zcd4000]

i read that Scott kannberg was the only one who worked on the reissues.

[bolichm19]

he must need the money

[altochroma7]

Perfect sounds forever....

[comehead914]

theyve been gone for 10 years now ):

[kpavement]

increíble,impresionante,

incalificable,asombrosa,

cancion

always dream with PAVEMENT.

[savanahslamma]

Pavement will forever be amazing.

One of my favourite bands for sure.

Seeing videos like this only make me want a re-union tour more and more.

[AirHendrix91]

That lead guitarist always reminds me of Lee Renaldo from Sonic Youth from some reason: always dodging the main attention yet so kick A!

[AirHendrix91]

Anyone know what date this show took place?

I wanna see if they have a boot of this hehe :).

[TheKingoftheRodeo]

Pretty positive this entire show is on Pavement: Slow Century DVD.

[AirHendrix91]

Sweet. Thanks man.

[AirHendrix91]

That last part was mind blowing.

Backwards is all I have to say!

[AirHendrix91]

I can't wait until they re-release Brighten The Corners!

[OhFFSGimmeAName]

I will be first in line for it :)

[veganshits]

in the top 5 best pavement songs?

yes, indeed.

[TeamZissou88]

Shady Lane

In the mouth of a Desert

Range Life

Gold Soundz

[tottigoal007]

Thank you...........

[poldc]

feels like a dream

[Lukehurricane]

Per anni non ho fatto altro che imitarlo,quando abbiamo iniziato con i Volticontrolume cioè la mia band! suonevamo 5 pezzi dei Pavement e in particolare Grounded, il pezzo bomba in cui imitavo le gesta di Malkmus che girava la chittarra sulle spalle!prima o poi metteremo un video di un nostro vecchio live!

[pedroFoodstamp]

Amazing!

[SpOoOokyGhost]

PLEASE, PLEA, BOYS ARE DYING ON THESE STREETS.

This song blew me away the first time i heard it. And it still does.

[hankno1]

I was at this gig. Their last ever. Brixton accademy.

Best gig I ever went to.

THE best band ever, bar non.

[theconsultant]

this is the night before, in manchester

i was at it and it was wonderful

[hankno1]

They opened with this at Brixton. Did they at Manchester?

[gibby660]

I was at the Seattle show that is also on the slow century dvd, they played this and it blew me away, one of the best concert moments of my life. wish these guys would reunite for a tour.

[OhFFSGimmeAName]

You guys sound like Deadheads :D

[Fressix]

Wait, the intro is similar to Explosions in the Sky's "First Breath After Coma" melody. : O

Check it out!

[TallFastLoud]

good but...pavement destroys explosions

[MichaelBradus]

Yeah, pavement definitely blows them out of the water.

[islifereal]

fucking amazing

[Zatzzo]

stephen malkmus has the greatest way of executing a riff. who needs pete townshend?

[JanBrady1]

There is still something very alive about even seeing a youtube of these guys playing their guitars and singing. Man I love these dudes.

[Evocati2008]

"he spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes and the bedside morale..."

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[artichuck]

ooohhhhh yeah, i don't got many "Favorites" but man ohhhh man this is on this 4-eva....eva.evavava.

[celebratedsummer88]

Wowee Zowee remains my favorite Pavement record. It may not be as consistent as CRCR, but come on...Grounded, Rattled By The Rush, Black Out, Father To A Sister Of Thought...I could keep going on and on. Pavement's masterpiece.

[ArchyMailbo]

I agree. WZ = an absolute monster, but I'd argue their most consistent too. I adore every track except for Western Homes.

[lalijew]

Ich könnte dieses Lied hoch- und runterspielen. Toll! :-) Great!

[MrPinksxx]

Malkmus is GENIUS

[artichuck]

That was just so damn awesome. Sooooo good. Sooooooooooo good.

[Lugak14]

This song makes me cry. Grounded, All the Go in Betweens by Silversun Pickups, and anything by Elliott Smith. I'm a sucker for emotion.

[Inthebath]

me 2

[costt321]

I agree with Inthebath...... stunning

[Inthebath]

beautifull

[Inthebath]

beautifull

[jenztinkerbell]

made me shed a tear this did, chillingly beautiful.

[neonemulsion]

Le sigh.

[AlumniPromotions]

god they need to fucking get back together already

[perolooco]

fantastico, formidable, excelente, espectacular, sin palabras, de otro mundo, sensancional... simplemente no hay palabras para describirlo! (L)

[SpOoOokyGhost]

So many good songs on Wowee Zowee.

[n3kas]

Purelly amazing *.*

[bashuppark]

The greatest band eva!!

[pshootman]

[crocodilewerewolf]

[jodysoldman]

F.N. Beautiful !!!

[corm88]

[fezzersc]

I saw them during this tour in Philly. Love to get a copy of that philly show.

[40594059]

what date? I might have it in my collections

[gibby660]

I was at this show, the last Pavement show I saw, damn I miss these guys, so many good memories.

[ToastyFun]

[timthemusicnazi]
