Slint - Don, Aman (live at the Abbey Pub)

My second Slint show in two days, I had to take a little souvenir. And for the first time, my camera's audio is halfway decent. So enjoy...

People are so stupid and get all "spiritual" and shit when listening to Slint. It's like, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! It's music! Not religion!

@RecordingDIY I think people can feel whatever they feel, but not impose it on other people. If it's a spiritual thing for someone, awesome, enjoy it. To me it was a very physical thing, I couldn't watch this and stand still, with eyes closed. I had to bob my head hard, I had to make noise. I think everyone's reaction is good, let's not be nazis :)

Sorry if this question was already answered and I'm just not seeing it but when/where was this?

[nandorocker]

@sagalicious123 This was 3 years ago in Chicago, at a pretty small venue called the Abbey Pub.

Love this song so much.

It depicts how social anxiety feels so well(at least for me)

This incredible piece truly transcends the arrangement. It envelops you in what is perhaps the most profound guitar ambience ever created. To quote Albini: "Ten Fucking Stars."

[GCLwins]

It is one of the bigger tragedies of rock and rock 'n' roll that this most magnificent band has been denied its just dues.

But the future will treat this masterpiece favorably. Good music is always just that - bloody good music, to say nothing of great music, as Spiderland represents.

Slint's fans, past and present, have such a visceral and almost spiritual connection with Spiderland that the album is assured of immortality.

Maybe you're used to seeing big rich rock bands playing in huge venues where they have armies of roadies and techs to do all that shit for them. Well this is the mighty Slint playing in a small bar on their own without all that bollocks. Amateurish? You're talking shit my friend. I saw them live in Dublin 6 years ago and they were anything but.

@UWWS

i would pay good money to see slint set up their gear

Grandes¡¡¡¡¡

[nandorocker]

@pandoraglory I disagree wholeheartedly, and the fact that most bands love to play for an audience like Brazil or Argentina, where you can fill a stadium and have all of them singing your songs and screaming like a Beatles fan in 1965 is proof.

[nandorocker]

@UWWS or maybe they were super excited to see a band from up close that for all intents and purposes, no longer exists? Or the music was making them excited and they were being vocal? Don't judge people's reactions to music...

@eviltwintheory Ah. Thanks for the info, asshole.
