Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot

Sonic Youth performed all of their classic album Daydream Nation for the first time in the US at the Pitchfork Music festival on July 13, 2007.
The set was fantastic and I managed to capture most of it on video. Please watch my other videos. Thanks.

Quality is a bit suspect because the crowd was quite active, but I did the best that I could and I still do believe that this captures something.

Wasn't this part of the "Don't Look Back" series of shows in NYC? I saw Slint play all of their "Spiderland" album a couple weeks before this. Epic. I remember wanting to stay for this show too - but alas, only so much vacation time...

This was part of the "Don't Look Back" series. This was the very first one, in Chicago. This was the first time that Sonic Youth performed Daydream Nation in its entirety on American soil. They had played a concert in Italy the week before which was, I suppose, truly the first.

Unfortunately Slint did play just before SY, and I was nearly bored to tears.

what amazing camerawork! i love the blurry swoopy colours with the occasion glimpse of thurston or kim jumping around, that's how I remember all the sonics shows I've seen, to the extent that I remember them at all, lets face it my memory just isn't what it used to be.

i wish my crappy computer speakers went up to eleven

Thank you very much. This was an amazing show that I will remember for the rest of my life.

I'm glad you appreciate the camera work. Thanks for watching. Turn it up!!

This is probably my favorite Sonic Youth song. Seriously, this song rules on so many levels, and thanks to our friend quartertonality, we get to see it live. Sounds just as great. Thanks for the post mi amigo!

[quartertonality]

Not a problem! You're very welcome.
