Same. A lot of people don’t get it and think I have bad ears or bad taste. I listen to everything from Hank Williams to acid jazz, but nothing blew me away like SY did when I discovered them. Just how they deconstructed the rules and put them back together… and those open tunings. Can’t go wrong.
And , If you remember, you let me play I wanna be your dog on your Blue Whale Rickenbacker bass after that “So I could feel her vibe.” Thanks again for that man, it was real. A.
I remember you too as being intelligent, tone deaf and yet still, a killer bass man and maybe not so specifically kind. But Hey, that was back in the day man! You flipped a quarter (25 cent coin) to me at the Middle East cafe once. and I said: “Thanks! What’s this for?” You said: “For wearing a Clash T-shirt” (It was a sleeveless olive drab classic camouflage combat rock one.) That was very generous of you. Anyway, Hope you still rule dude. A.

Wow this is great footage of Sonic Youth playing my hometown on my 4th birthday. I Didn’t find out about them till the mid 90s when I was a little older but I was lucky enough to see them live 9 times. RIP to the mighty Sonic Youth.
leads are great...wonderful guitar...lead2 is cool as well...good stuff...actually fender is making them again recently...I would grab one while you can...
I know exactly who shot this, and I still owe him money. Hey best roommate, if you’re reading this, sorry I still owe you Was it $300 for deposit ? Hey man I know it was a long time ago but, I didn’t forget. Hope to set things right, all the best, A.
By the time when van hallen, dire straits and those bands where playing on big stages with multi-colored laser lights and a flying drum, with strobe lights flashing, oh and that dancing on the streets bruce Springsteen song funfunfurunfunfun that was neat
No - this was a surprise benefit gig for the magazine Forced Exposure. Steve was the MC. From what I can tell Big Black only played The Rat on 12/31/86 with Volcano Suns and Pussy Galore. While I was a fan and lived in the neighborhood at the time, I didn’t get in to either of these shows as I think I was too young.
I can totally hear that J Mascis sound.. God I love his guitar! Hey, Didn't you guys play at FSU student center in '88/89? Or am I remembering some fabricated fantasy?
Should of done dog food. As someone said in the comments the person that found this may they live for 1000 years. Only if we had the footage from the UNSW gig with Mudhoney that would of been next levels compared to this....
Hey SONIC YOUTH are you sorry for Bullying NARDWUAR in that 1991 interview??? I guess time was the judge in this case since NARDWUAR has had enduring success & most people have never even heard of you guys 🤷♂️
Nardwuar didn’t even take it personally when it happened. People don’t know shit about Nardwuar, they just jump on the hate bandwagon. Nardwuar has had far worse interviews. Sonic Youth’s music is in the Library of Congress. They will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame eventually, and their approach to music is taught at jazz schools and other music programs. They were never widely popular at any point in their career, so you don’t even have a point here.
Nardwuar never took it personally to begin with. He was over it pretty quickly. He’s had far worse encounters. I agree it was immature for them to fuck with him.
Whoever found this recorded this preserved this....may you live to be a thousand years old...
I agree 👍
Oh wow a young albini
Great surprise this live. Noise, power, energy.
R.I.P. Steve Albini.
Favorite band of all time

They're my favorite band of all time too.

J Mascis with Sonic Youth, cool! Fortunately Dinosaur Jr is still there today, and rules!
Saw Dinosaur Jr. And Sonic Youth At Terminal 5 In New York City November 2009
that's my old bass Kim is playing...she had broken a string...

Kim is going all out in this one never seen her headbang like that!
Thought so as well
My God I love Sonic Youth!
I blame Boston ❤😂
Voilà un groupe qui manque aujourd'hui dans le paysage musical. Quel son! Quelle puissance ! Merci pour cet extrait.
Wow this was a year and 1 day before my ass was born. Love Sonic Youth.
my dad was 7 years old, crazy to think that SY were together for a really long time

Please everyone tell us when your birthday was in relation to this video, it's fascinating
@@sratus - Ha ha, quite!

Miss you sonic youth
Me too
Same here :( I was fortunate enough to see them a few times in their later years. I was only 4 years old in 1987
best band ever
Thank you so much! It's really awesome! Hello from Russia.
Damn, Steve never fails to impress...
Swans play the Rat and Jarboe gets beaten up by the bouncers. Sonic Youth plays the Rat and Kimberly Dash Gordon takes no prisoners.
Wow this is great footage of Sonic Youth playing my hometown on my 4th birthday. I Didn’t find out about them till the mid 90s when I was a little older but I was lucky enough to see them live 9 times. RIP to the mighty Sonic Youth.
This just ripped my brain in half and stitched it back together
Officially the most animated J has ever been!
Really cool video guys and gal ❤️
Wow! 1987 with Mascis on stage. This is golden!
That Fender Lead Lee is playing looks so cool
leads are great...wonderful guitar...lead2 is cool as well...good stuff...actually fender is making them again recently...I would grab one while you can...
I love you Kim! Sonic Youth are icons. This one rocks.
nice register, kim looks so cool, is interesting how J Mascis become a beast in the scenario haha
RIP STEVE
Kim has been in her 30's the whole life
Fuck! Nearly 35 years ago. Priceless find! Thank you 🤘🤘🎤🎸🔊🍻
steve albini at the beginning lol
I know exactly who shot this, and I still owe him money.
Hey best roommate, if you’re reading this,
sorry I still owe you
Was it $300 for deposit ?
Hey man I know it was a long time ago but,
I didn’t forget.
Hope to set things right, all the best,

Sonic Youth at their best. Like a Picasso painting
Love to see Kim so animated. Looks like she’s having a good time.
Mesmerising... as always
YES!
Punk Noise Sonic youth forever
Great rare!
This was the day before I was born!

Thanks for sharing! ❤ soooo cool!
wowwww

Thank you :-)
This is sick
Some parts of this start to sound like Dinosaur Jr.
Since Albini was there, was Big Black on the bill at this gig that night as well?

@@green4black: Thanks for the clarifying info!
Jaaa!! Awesome
Love her Rickenbacker bass!
To be precise: Jeffrey Weigand's bass. ;-)
Man that is so cool. Big fan of Volcano Suns and have corresponded with Jeff a bit, a swell dude
🤗
So many great nights at the RAT.
Harry Potter on drums is a killer
Steve Shelley deserves more respect than this.

Nice little gem!
thurston looks so badass here
it is so weird to see j mascis playing a telecaster, he always plays a jazzmaster
J Mascis actually uses telecasters for studio recordings instead of his jazzmasters
@@josegonzalez-ym6xe wait really? i didn’t know that
J Mascis!!
Never knew Kim had blue hair during this era
What's the band at the very beginning?
Dredd Foole and the Din
Kim seems to be letting out a lot of anger.
Thurston with a tele, how strange. Rocks anyway 😎
J Mascis kinda looks like Suzie Quatro here.
3 words...kim. ! Kim ! Kim !
🖤💥🖤💥🖤💥🖤
yiiieeeaaahhhh :D 🔥kim🔥
If only they could sort out whatever, and do a reunion tour .....
I don't see the point
will probably never happen. if i were kim or thurston i wouldn't want to be around my ex partner for a whole tour
its a bigger issue than just being “whatever”
Thurston cheated on Kim and destroyed their marriage. Not "whatever"
@@vivica7 Fleetwood Mac made a career out of ex's being on tour. 😂 Never say never!!!
Anybody from SY have musical kids?
Ow my ears

Remember what you did to Nardwar
