Audio engineer deserves a raise 🏆
Sounds like they are performing inside of my bedroom
steve shelley, the man the myth, the legend. coolest high school drum teacher to ever roam the earth
Guy is an absolutely unreal drummer stands out even among god tier guitarists
@@stevendip5318 hes a god amongst highschool drum teachers xd
And his kit is about 1/4 the size of most bands
Former Crucifux drummer
Audio is extraordinary. I can hear every fingerprint sliding on those strings. Brilliant sound tech.
Nigel Godrich and co are masters at what they do
Exactly
Exactly what the sound tech would say 🤔 quit fooling around and get back to work
I've never heard a bad performance in "The Basement",no matter the band.
The Master Nigel!
The only band that can combine noise, chaos, imperfect but soulful vocals and make it into something beautiful.
It's a special gift
and melody...always a good melodic element in their sound...
It's proper garage band mayhem.
Dont forget Yo La Tengo
You need to listen to Slowdive
I miss the SY days. I only heard them in concert once...in Campo Pequeno, Portugal (1993)! I love it when they play "Joni", "the sprawl" or "incinerate", great songs!
Dude on the drums is absolutely unreal
How? Their music keeps them eternally young. They still look like teenagers. Amazing.
Why is their sound so refreshing even to this day? What a majestic band.
I think it’s their open tunings with EEBB...etc and approach to songwriting. The tunings chime out, that band was a group of equals.
this session was recorded on 2007 you newbie
iONISMO newbie? When it was recorded has nothing to do with how the band sounds unique. Listen to any of their albums. I saw them play live 4 times but Goo, Daydream Nation and Evol changed my life first.
@@nicolasa3810 what do you mean? it still sounds awesome today
@@jimtroeltsch5998 and i bet that, im just saying that this video isnt recently
I am currently stuck in Bristol airport with my flight delayed, I am watching this transfixed, with all the bluster and bustle going on around me they have created an oasis of calm, and a fleeting moment of peace.
That was beautifully said. Hope you made it home well!
@@apancher I did yes, thank you!
Hearing the end of The Sprawl played as slow as it is here sounds incredible!
Sonic youth a band that paved the way for all those groups that later defined themselves as grunge, brilliant 👏👏👏
kims voice is iconic. She sounds so cool.
Ya. Dead cool.
Name a current rock chick in the same universe of 😎 I dare u!!!
U huh
@@dingosmith9932 Corin Tucker?
@@dingosmith9932 Chrissie Hynde
This is the best version of Incinerate
Sonic youth é foda demais
Pra mim “Jams Run Free”.
Incinerate pica de aço,podia ter rolado kool things tbm
@@PyramidHead4 eles já tocaram essa música um zilhão de vezes nos anos 90, eles queriam tocar as novas.
And ‘Hey Joni’.
Nothing says Sonic Youth like 2 Jazzmasters and a Thunderbird playing together in harmony
Goddamnit, it's beautiful isn't it.
@@user-jv6nz5jo9z name a more innovative guitar band who've done this much to expand the scope of the instrument since Sonic Youth broke up?
@@adamwright4135 Psy
1:15 the sprawl
10:44 incinerate
16:15 hey joni
20:40 jams run free
24:30 pink steam
Thanks !
As an Eno fan, I love your screen name😆👍🏻
@@davenik1999 thanks. Many people do not get the joke and earnestly refer to me as Brian
Hey Joni is one of my all-time favourites
Thx ;)
You really can't appreciate how good they are until you see them absolutely ripping those guitars/bases/drums. So sick. Put some respect on that drummer that dude is absolutely nuts
One of the best drummers I have ever heard!! He is so good!!
One of the most important American bands of all time.
Excellent era of the band!!
ABSOLUTELY! Sheer brilliance and utter J.O.Y. and ever-E thing they have ever done still sounds amazing to this day. Blows just about ever-E-one, save SWANS and BUTTHOLE SURFERS, a few others for sure, but these guys had a special kind of MAGICK that just grabs every fiber of my being, my very heart and soul, and throws me into a state of ecstatic loveliness.
THE most important rock band that ever existed or will ever exist.
In case you are wondering....no, I don't attribute Nirvana to Sonic Youth. You know what I attribute Nirvana to? An overrated smack-head who married an enabler, cranked out some mediocre bullshit, threw a flannel shirt over it, blew his brains out, then got the Emperor's New Clothes Sympathy Treatment. Nah, Sonic Youth's talent and ingenuity are in a league of it's own and Kurt wasn't a pimple on the polyp on the welt on the ass of that band. So why shit on Cobain out of nowhere? To illustrate the point that Youth quietly amassed a genius anthology without all of the fanfare and bullshittery. Plus Youth's music has so much more staying power. THAT'S what importance means....not some jack-off crying about his success and completely abusing his body and mind.
Lastly, if anything I said instills a compulsion to lash out at me because I'm not a Cobain ass-kisser, remember that it's one person's opinion. If you are feeling angry or somehow hurt by my comments, you need to re-evaluate how much of your ego you've attached to your music heroes. No one is above reproach. Nirvana was a couple of songs and a suicide...nothing more.
Slow Neutron i think too, that there were better bands in the 90s than Nirvana. But MTV Hype was mighty at that time.
One of the coolest shows I ever saw, Sonic Youth and Yeah Yeah Yeahs in an abandoned drained public pool in Brooklyn NY. I’ll never forget it...
it must have been amazing!
the sound of this band makes me feel young and fierce.
Indeed.
Very well put, it makes you remember what good taste you had. This has distilled into a fine brew
The synergy during Pink Steam was insane to watch, brilliantly played
The moment you're nearly 40 and you realize Sonic youth are your parents age. 😳
Brutal
50
And yet still influencing, that is what I have always loved about them. 42 myself, and still pushing sonic boundaries. they are an inspiration. G G C C A# A# i wish bardo pond also had the same recognition..
I’m nearly 60 and becoming a Sonic Senior.
I wish my parents had been that cool
2020 is not so bad now...
I know right, we got radiohead concerts, sessions from themselves, Sonic Youth, Gnarls Barkley, and PJ Harvey too!
Plus King Crimson went digitial this year which is a band I've been obsessed with all year so far.
@@Maztuhmind Thank you for this post. Best news in a long time!
Recorded August 2007. Back when life was better.
They made it badder!
Proudest I've ever felt was sitting on the toilet and hearing teenage riot through the ducts unsolicited. Teach the kids.
This tape is a piece of art. Thank you for sharing!
The sprawl has to be an all time fav of mine. Daydream nation is a classic. I First heard it over 30 years ago! . Sonic Youth are legends.
The Sprawl is one of their finest tracks. Kim's vocals are so sick. I really wish they played Washing Machine in this set, but this is still excellent.
Teenage riot
Chemical Imbalance you know that!
Daydream Nation is a masterpiece.
If I could take one song with me into the afterlife...the Sprawl
Watching Shelley bang on drums has got to be the single most entertaining thing
Literally one of the most important frontier bands of all time. The helped pave the way man. They are up there for sure
Paved the way for what ?? Effetism and burned out drug suicide . hiccup
@@monolithgeometry3221 They barely used drugs at all. Nice try.
@@monolithgeometry3221 Every alternative scene from the 90s straying away from New Wave or Punk owes a massive debt to Sonic Youth.
These folks have blown and twisted me in so many great ways. Since the 80s. Thank you and God bless sonic youth and rock n roll cheers from Cleveland
playing with two bass guitars is maybe the reason why their sound is so massive and clean - even with distrortions and overdrive all over!! My inspiration for ever.
Lee Ranaldo is too good for this world
ranaldo .
@@nicolasa3810 ah yeah my bad, autocorrect thinks I'm talking about football again lol
@@bobvilashomeagain1400 Lee Ranaldo > Cristiano Ronaldo
Yeah, he's by far the best thing about this band... Thank god he can write a catchy hook... Otherwise, it would have been confusion is sex into obscurity.
@@paulvanreesch2493 The best thing about this band? This BAND.
Saw them live in Frankfurt, early 90s. The whole evening was a massive and harmonic wall of sound from the first second to the very last moment.
An unforgettable experience.
And the role models for the whole Grunge movement.
The artists that have performed From The Basement would make the most amazing festival lineup
Me: I am at a lost for hope.
**Suddenly** Sonic Youth appears from The Basement!
And Joe Biden's in charge of the audio mixer?
I'm hearing this for the first time
their music was so gritty, but so refined. An amazing band with a truly distinguished sound. Awesome!!
I remember seeing them at least 3 times. The one show I definitely remember was the early 90's when they released 'Dirty' - always such great shows. You know I was sporting my new Sonic Youth shirt to school the next day!
ja, das war eine gute zeit! ein mal geschlafen, dann wollte süd-ost-asien einen briefkasten aus mir machen, für 100 gehe ich nicht in die ewigen jagdgründe!
I had a daydream nation and a ciccone youth whitey t-shirt!
Not only did you help me through university with your math videos but you also like Sonic Youth! You sir is a good guy :)
Ya Dirty is a classic.
yoo sell me the shirt if you have
Sonic Youth is unbelievable. Probably my favorite band of all times, as I'm always coming back to it, after almost 25 years of listening.
Fucking Sonic Youth! This music is in my dna. One of truly originals real game changers with Butthole Surfers, Flipper and No Trend in my life. Thank you for that Sonic Youth!
Saw them in 96 in Fremantle. They finished with Diamond Sea. Beck was setting up on a small stage to the right. He starts playing along. Kim waves over to him. Pure 90's magic.
I was there too!! Was that Summersault? Beasties, Pavement, SY, Beck and Bikini Kill all on the same day. Probably the best thing I've ever been to.
Stuart Hallam that’s the one! The first and best festival I’ve been to. Man, that was a great day
i've seen them three times, once in 95 and twice in 98. i was lucky enough to make that thousand leaves tour, as that was their last record i listen to. i just cant get into the new slower cleaner sound of the records released after. we jumped the iron fence at brown university and got in for free. and someone stole my mini recorder out of my locker in 95, shortly after i recorded the washing machine tour show at the orpheum theater in boston. ill never forget that. it still bugs the hell out of me to this day every time i think about it.
@@justtryanddeludeyourself2166 in another video Lee explained that in '99 they had all their gear stolen the night before a festival from their touring van. Instrumental in the shift in their sound!
@@Conbassist oh yeah. I totally forgot about that!
I Love them since the late 80ies.. They played a TV Concert 96 the day my mother passed away and it felt like they were my friends
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Sonic Youth live at least 5-6 times. Other than Dinosaur Jr, I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a band live as much as Sonic Youth... This performance is a treasure.
I love this band and I miss them terribly.
It's interesting (in a cool way) to see the different ways bands approach these Basement sessions. Sonic Youth is set up more like a private concert, while Radiohead's sessions always feel more like the band just recording live. Both are awesome.
Who knew Mark Corrigan was such a fantastic drummer?
You learn something new every day!
Sonic Youth is your favorite band's favorite band.
Kim's dance❤
Always love the Lee songs. He's the George Harrison of the band.
HA! I love that! Also my fave members of each band.
Nnnnjnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnknnnnnknn.nnnn
"The Lee Ranaldo song" - always a highlight
Mote is my fav
It’s worse than that for me. At least I easily know which songs are George’s.
I listen to this performance literally everyday
It sounds so good.
Why do they need the extra player?
@@endtables I believe it is so the songs can sound fuller and with more texture, like the studio versions.
@@endtablesthis is like saying why is there two guitarists….idiots
So glad I got see see Sonic Youth live 9 times.
This is the band that introduced me to greatness, I was 13 when Daydream Nation came out, my brother played it for me, and my brain exploded
One of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time 💯 %
Every one involved in this thank you ,sonic youth, The basement , TH-cam the music lovers creativity, this is a blessing
The harmonics in Hey Joni over Shelley's motorik hypnotic drumming is fantastic. Great set here.
Daydream nation is really a masterpiece
Along with "Washing Machine" and "Experimental, Jet Set, Thrash and No Star". In fact if I could only have one SY album I'd probably go with "Experimental..." They are one of, if not *THE* most important and influential bands of the last 40 years that never had a hit single. I know "Teenage Riot" was close but they just never had chart success. But their impact on 90's alternative and much that's followed can't be overestimated.
With all the great albums I don't understand why that one (Day Dream) is the masterpiece? Honestly I like Thousand Leaves, Sister, Goo better than DayDream.
I prefer their albums up until Sister. Nation was where I lost interest. They'd come of age.
The most underrated band in the last 40 years. Maybe no Nirvana or Pixies without Sonic Youth. I love this band !!!!
Underrated ? No way man. No way.
Overrated
Pixies is more underrated!!
@@harrybrown4077 I agree. They sound crap on record.
Live though...next level.
No sonic youth without pixies
Crazy how well the songs from 88 and 06 blend
Who cares how old they are. They make music that’s worth listening to
Music vor eternity.
Such a magical sounding band. Pure uncompromising heart and soul. Their music sounds like being inside a dream.
A daydream
Happy and sad at the same time after watching this. Happy that at last we have a great quality video for this performance. Sad to remember the probability of them reuniting is almost zero.
@BlueArmy33 - I remember it did not end well. And under the kind of circumstances that relationships generally do not recover from.
But I don't actually know them. And money is powerful motivation fo raging rock people.Who knows?
as ugly as it was, there were talks before covid about a reunion. it's possible.
@@bwgti from what I've read, Kim is preeeeetty pissed off, and I believe Lee mentioned that SY is a democracy so the only possible comeback is if the four of them (don't forget shelley!) agree to. But I do hope they reunite, there's never enough sy concerts in the world
Here's a fan of your music from Argentina. I met the band on spotify with your spectacular song Binge and I loved it and all the member of my band (Grassa) loved it too. Cheers from Rosario, Argentina.
One of the very best bands in our history. Thanks for the vid!
I will never stop loving Sonic Youth
I don't want to be left in a world without this sort of bands.
boycott china then....
@@rockfordfiles5451 how will that affect the quality of rock music produced mainly in the west?
@@LC-ur8gv The CCP Dictatorship's authoritarian model pushes ever out, stifling free thinking , individuality--- which is the basis of rock--- You'll eventually be left with marching toons of how great the state is.... and a few candy girls
@@rockfordfiles5451 I wouldn't be surprised if that happens in 50 years or so, as dystopian as it sounds, but shit music has been increasing since the end of the 90s. Music is one of the very few things China didn't affect yet, the Industry fucked it way before it. Although, suppose what you say turns true, music would be the last of our problems.
Bands like Sonic Yourh never happen twice !❤
One of the best groups in history
They started the set with my most favorite song...the Sprawl has everything Sonic Youths does in that one song.
Steve Shelley is a maniac in geek's clothing
Very underrated drummer !
Just realized Mark Ibold from Pavement was a secondary bass player for a few years, so cool!
I just realized this when I watched this video and read your comment. 🙂
I was wondering whether it was Jim O’Rourke on this recording, but that’s answered that question. Cheers
I thought I had recognised him, but was not sure. How great to have two bass players, and what players at that!
Three decades of quality cutting edge music. A band like no other.
I was a 30ish year old, living in Northampton, Mass. in the late Nineties. Working for another rock band. My main money maker at the time was working at a badass little restaurant on Main St. named Cha Cha Cha. Great times. I remember the first time Kim and Thurston came in. I was frozen. By this point I had met a ton of musicians, some very famous, most not but this was different. A couple of my idols musically had just walked through the door, and I was reduced to a puddle of my self. My co-worker at the time, Matt Hebert, saw me wilt and was like, "be cool, man just take their order and don't say anything stupid". Cool, I got this. They walk up, first thing I notice is Thurston is fucking tall as hell, never knew that. Kim was there, but in the exact way I would expect her to, like a freakin assassin, sometimes you'd see her other times you didn't. It was amazing. So i took their order, and of course, I couldn't resist. I'm like, I LoVe YoUr MusIc. Matt just looked at me with disgust and I'm still trying to get that behind me. Good times though!
I can't believe I came across this comment literally seconds after recalling and wincing about my own encounter with the band in the late 90s. When they came to town, Mike Watt was opening for them, and I was surprised to find that probably my best high school friend, an excellent drummer with whom I had not been in touch for a few years, was playing in Watt's band! At some point I called his name out and he saw me, and invited me backstage after their set, and again after SY's set. I had brought a camera, and my friend asked me to take a photo of both bands together, which I did. He asked everybody to get together for the photo, not me. Anyway, I still have that photo. Everybody looks happy in it (my friend looks super-happy), except for Kim, who is scowling. As you say, good times!
Great story! Jst didnt like Matt's reaction to what you said..
David & Joseph attend the same creative writing class.. It's wonderful to see such elaborate and wistful imagination
Your comments are generous. When anyone acts smug, like you aren't on their level, I immediately despise them.
+Dian did you forget to take your medication again ? Or perhaps you lost a few chromosomes overnight ?
the audio on that first song is so good
Anytime I listen Sonic Youth I feel back my adolescence in 90s. Always fresh and Youth, Sonic. Thank you for so much.
Rather Ripped is such an unappreciated SY album, given the huge number of legendary releases, but it's possibly my favorite, and I'm happy to see this session has a bunch of tracks from it.
That's some guitar playing I have never seen before they rocked it out.
I miss this band so much!!!! LOVE YOU KIM
I miss going to SY gigs so badly. they were the one band who always came to Australia. always played killer shows for reasonable ticket prices. they ruled the 2000’s first decade as far as live music goes
Sonic Youth are ahead of their time.I grew up with them and many other bands but watching this now it feels like it could be a new band.Really like their sound and presence.
Pink Steam is soo good I wanna live in it. Every cell in me is dancing
This videos is one of the most comfortable places on earth
I visit almost daily
Magnificent
14:16 i love it when they hit that chord.
Yeah. That is nice and crunchy!
I miss them so much. And this song selection is so captivating. The way they perform... Incredible chemistry, notes perfectly blended together. I had a million things to do and I just couldn't stop watching and listening. The world just stopped turning for 33 minutes.
Pink Steam is one of the most underrarted songs. This version is epic!
exactly, top 10 SY songs for me
whole album... it's one of their best
Pink Steam and Incinerate are both incredible, and sound even better live here!
What is Lee using on the strings during the intro to get that soft harmonic tone?
@@analogdebut a metal slide, but as a bow!
Toooooooo many great songs , awesome band that still kicks ass. I remember seeing them live in the early 90’s with Dinosaur Jr. good times , way better than now.
The best show I ever saw was when Sonic Youth headlined at Bumberchute. The first two acts were Built to Spill and Sleater Kenney (can't remember who went first) and when Sonic Youth started playing literally a third of the audience left during their first two numbers leaving plenty of room for us fans to stretch out and dance or, more likely, sway. We got a preview of some of the songs that would be on 1,000 Leaves including both ten minute tracks. All time favorite band!
That sounds like an amazing show ❤😮❤
Understand we will never witness this again!!! Straight beauty, Thank God I was available to take in what is THE YOUTH
Brings me back to my high school days, laying on my bed with my headphones on. Rock on!
Mind blowing, as always. Still in a league of their own. Listen up, kids. This is how you make music.
Sonic Youth , L7 and the Beastie Boys at Pacific National Exibit was epic!
They gotta shoot this into space this is peak human
They're an acquired taste...And I wish they played more of this on the radio here in Missouri when I was in high school in the 90's...Sonic Youth is wonderful... I'm 42 and sadly never got to see them live...Their music and sound is memorizing...Kim you're so cool and always will be...I loved when they were on Letterman in 94'..
I feel like if any stations would have played them, it would have been 93X back in the day or The Point at times lol
this has to be one of the coolest videos I have ever seen
I read this out loud Beavis & Butthead style!
This version of incinerate is the best shit in existence
Today I said goodbye to my conflicted goddess...I miss SY so much.
Mind-blowing! I love this band! 🖤. I saw them live once, it was a dream come true. 10th Nov, 2011. Lima Perú. I'll never forget that night.
I can't stop watching this for months now. I don't even listen to their studio albums, just this video
Don’t because then it’ll blow your fucking mind.
Same
@@Robdobalina I have listened to studio albums now, and already have 2 vinyls now haha. Goo is my favourite
Heay man, thanks for sharing. Easily my favourite band of all time. Didn't get a chance to see them till 91 at Reading, then through the nineties. Exceptional band and now one of my Granddaughters favourites 😄
Kudos to your granddaughters, Jimmy. And to you too!
Still totally killing it after all these years
Saw Thurston Moore's band twice in the past and if it wasn't for this damn covid, I would have seen Kim this summer. Hopefully it happens next year.
she was supposed to play tonight in Philly. Dammit!!!
Would be great, but is there gonna be any live music this year? This fucking virus thing just won't piss off!
팀의 구성과 공연 방식, 그로 인해 사운드까지 신선하다. 광고가 들어가지 않은 온라인 라이브에 적절한 공연 시간이 인상적이다. 청중이 집중해서 음악을 들을 수 있도록 지켜주는 최고의 현명한 선택이었다.
Damn, I really miss this band. I wish they were still together.
