This guys fr had the best band name ever, because they do still represent that name w their sound to this day. One of the best bands to ever get as popular and influential as them.
@@janhoggart I would like to know which video you talking about, cuz I genuinely don't remember ever commenting anything about the Beatles in my entire life lmao
That was one side of the coun ( edit: COIN ) and Nothing's Shocking was the other. Maybe?? Something like that. They both kick started "Alt" culture. As something marketable to "Gen X"
@@cheapthrilll6323 i think it goes something like this: we were daydreaming out loud into which became today also because we loved the rush (in my 20s during, having the best time of my life but daydreaming still while others were wide awake)
me too. Maybe Mark Ibold could Bass for Kim until she feels comfortable being in a band, and seperates the emotions from being in a relationship? Or are they all just to close? And its a long gone dream?
I saw Sonic headline in the mid 90s. They were incredible live. A total surreal experience. I wouldn’t say their my fav, but certainly among bands I like a lot.
this is just fucking amazing. I understand why Kurt liked them so much. Sonic Youth were seeking something different in the 80s, they were honest, experimental and they were not mincing their words when it came to criticize anything
It's great to see how SY weave together their creative resources to create the perfect show. It's almost like SY are reborn in artistic Talent. So lucky to see a great band find their perfect day.
That Glenn Branca footage looks incredible. It's so hard to hear anything from the 1983/84/Symphony 4 time- would love to see more footage of this and related concerts.
There have been bits and pieces of 'Physics' I've found and lost on TH-cam over the years. The Arleen Schloss tour diary is pretty interesting, and shows a bit of Thurston and Lee, and snippets of music: th-cam.com/video/snWveI-MdSw/w-d-xo.html But I've never come across full Symphony 4 performance anywhere.. That's a major shame because the parts I've heard are really exciting, musically. My dream is to go back in time and attend one of those performances, haha
@@electrikkar, but instantly adored everything I listened to.. If only there were a time machine that we could access, I could spend a decade easily just bouncing around to attend various concerts, from the infamous opening night of “The Rite of Spring”, to Bird’s heyday helping create bebop, to Trane’s ballistic free playing, to Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable VU parties/shows, every Bowie variant of the 70s, plus CAN, Neu, Faust, all the krautrock, to every essential New York scene/band in the 70s and 80s… basically the lyrics to “I’m Losing My Edge”, like all those band mentioned (that’s an LCD Soundsystem track, in case you don’t know what I mean)… I could spend a massive chunk of life just floating from experience to experience, not that I’m not excited by current art and music, but it’s hard to not feel like I missed out on all the greatest shows, bands, scenes, etc, that will ever be. Anyway, sorry for such a long reply, but I appreciate the link and recommendations, and will definitely be checking this out! ✌️
Soms kijk ik wel eens met verbaasde ogen naar de steden die we in Nederland hebben. Ik was student in de jaren negentig, ik heb die periode waar bands zoals Sonic Youth heel groot werden bewust meegemaakt. Amsterdam in die tijd was vol met tweedehands zaakjes en een zeer gezonde underground scene. Maar de laatste keer dat ik in Amsterdam was, was het echt een themapark geworden. Helemaal gesanitariseerd en zielloos. De Red Hot Chili Peppers op de uitmarkt dat kan nu echt niet meer, Nederland behoort aan de dance. En Alternative zelf? Kijk naar de Opposites, die zeggen Alternative te zijn, maar hun muziek maar vooral hun HOUDING spreekt dat tegen. Als in die tijd Alto was dan was je mellow, chilled out, lekker tekeer gaan op de muziek maar verder hoorde je op de achtergrond, je was tenslotte Alternatief. Alternatief van gabbers bijvoorbeeld. Dus als ik een stad in Nederland binnenkom en ik zie hoeveel er is verandert en ik weet hoe het was dan heb ik zoiets van "Hoe heeft dit kunnen gebeuren?"
U heeft volkomen gelijk. Amsterdam is een poppenkast geworden met allemaal verwaande toeristen die denken dat ze er al jaren wonen en wederzijds respect is er ver te zoeken.
Really cool, thanks! I’m glad The Algorithm (blessings and peace upon it) decided to throw this my way! I think this was the most polite I’ve seen them in interviews from the more early years, though I also can’t say I’ve watched a ton. Whatever the case, I wish stuff like this still existed on television, or online (it probably does, but idk where to look), and I wish Macy’s still did that video thing, and I wish I knew where to sing in one of those booths. I adore Ciccone Youth’s covers on that album, though I’m more partial to Thurston singing “Into The Groove” (or “groovey”). Anyway, I guess I should shut the fvck up. Thank you! 🙏✌️
Courtney Love doesn’t have any street cred = 0.0% Kim, on the other hand, is ALL street cred = 100% If they came out and played in 2023, Kim would solidify her status as a rock superstar forever! And the other guys could ride on her coattails along with her.
I think it was meant more in way like “you’re not trying to impress other bassists or join master musicians, just do your own thing” which would make sense
Rumor was she lived above the liquor store on Hill st. I seem to remember Some kids approaching her and complimenting her brother and she wasn’t nice and yelled at them.
it was profoundly relevant at the time albeit looking back one could suggest they we're moreso an experimental band that opened the doors for the shape of things to follow.
Lol Yeah, it's fun and games writing a bunch of songs in alternate tunings until you're at baggage claim lmao
Lol
A band who I find a lot of their music unlistenable, but are still my second favourite band ever!
This guys fr had the best band name ever, because they do still represent that name w their sound to this day.

You posted the same comment under a Beatles video 😄
@@janhoggart such a generalised statement too lol
@@janhoggart I would like to know which video you talking about, cuz I genuinely don't remember ever commenting anything about the Beatles in my entire life lmao
Daydream Nation straight up kickstarted the 90s in every way imaginable for real, such an important album
That was one side of the coun ( edit: COIN ) and Nothing's Shocking was the other. Maybe?? Something like that. They both kick started "Alt" culture. As something marketable to "Gen X"

Pixies
@@dagsouleyedblue407 I'll buy that.
@@RobVanDelay_WholeFnContestSY and pixies basically invented the 90s
silver rocket just makes me 🦋🦋
Me too, great to see it. Not only my favourite by SY but a favourite track of all time
thanks for posting this! killer to see Lee with Branca. great footage.
Check Lee in this footage with Branca in 1980.
www.bilibili.com/video/av22314412/
I would do anything to see SY live again
What year did you see them?
@@teake.tekkers2253 1996 last time for me
me too. Maybe Mark Ibold could Bass for Kim until she feels comfortable being in a band, and seperates the emotions from being in a relationship? Or are they all just to close? And its a long gone dream?
Maybe that could happen. Divorce and touring with that person would be kinda hard...

And they were crap.
@@Tamberlyn4uno you
@@Tamberlyn4u Go find another video to watch...
@@quinnmichael2657 You too. There are a lot of good bands out there that aren't fake garbage.
@@Tamberlyn4u lol good one
I've never seem this video, it's really a gem. Thanks a lot for posting it!
YOU'RE a gem.
I realize that Sonic Youth and Nirvana actually are to me somehow what Stones and Beatles were to my father
Sonic Youth introduced us even to Karaoke ('koroci-boots') in this video around 16:50. They were so hip.
I love Lee Ranaldo's first speech. Fantastic firsthand summary .
Saw this video on an unofficial released video cd called "screaming fields of sonic love" 25 years ago. Raw and great live !
It's great to see how SY weave together their creative resources to create the perfect show. It's almost like SY are reborn in artistic
Talent. So lucky to see a great band find their perfect day.
Solid gold incredible footage of this iconic band. Some hate it, some love it... whatever you feel like y know

💯 would be brilliant, loved that bit particularly!

Everyone just got stoned on the chronic
i'd love to see that full Glenn Branca footage. great documentary!
Yeah, not a lot of footage of him playing with Lee or Thurston from that period
Guys which built strong definition of guitar noise music,next to Pixies one of the greatest bands ever
sonic youth forever!!!
Mud Honey!
lol
The best band ever !!!!
It's far-fetched
Cool stuff ..bedankt voor het oploaden!
Parts of New York I've seen, This graffiti thing with the windows broken is the atmosphere that we often get placed in -Lee
fantastic ! thank you so much
Really cool, thanks! I’m glad The Algorithm (blessings and peace upon it) decided to throw this my way!

Awesome! Tks
GOD BLESS GLENN BRANCA
Courtney Love doesn’t have any street cred = 0.0%
Kim, on the other hand, is ALL street cred = 100%
If they came out and played in 2023, Kim would solidify her status as a rock superstar forever!
And the other guys could ride on her coattails along with her.
Mudhoney also played that night.
wow, the TSA compliant duct tape around the guitar cases ... times, they are changing ...
first commet to kim is "oh you didnt really master the bass guitar", fucking beat the woman down straight away. hearts to kim gordon. what a voice
I think it was meant more in way like “you’re not trying to impress other bassists or join master musicians, just do your own thing” which would make sense
Kim's smile is so beautiful
entre otras cosas .que se ven aca sale kim gordon haciendo pop . que locura
cool things
the antitheses to tavisstock music.
Looked like the courtyard of a Factory or a Mental Hospital/Prison... Hmm?
This is the bestest thing on youtube
Time capsule.
Thurston doesn't strike me as the "Deodorant' type.
I was there!
tremendo
This guy's are so "youth"
before they got cleaned up and cool
yeah

Steve Shelley is the best.
He's extremely under rated.
almost as brilliant as the *wonderful* Karen Carpenter
He called me once from Sundance Fest in Utah….maybe 20-25 years ago…
We used to see STEVE SHELLEYS SISTER in Ann Arbor circa 1990
Rumor was she lived above the liquor store on Hill st.
I seem to remember
Some kids approaching her and complimenting her brother and she wasn’t nice and yelled at them.
"I've never bothered to learn notes..." No, shit
that spelles gabdeg
❤80’s Kim Gordon was hot♥️
ルーツ、原点
"Koroci-cabines" 😀
Kim is 70

Too bad they were mean to Nardwuar.
Wait isn't Lee the blonde guy ?
No, lee is the guy the dark hair
That makes a very good title for a short story :-)
Now he is the grey guy
the band people pretend to like!
it was profoundly relevant at the time albeit looking back one could suggest they we're moreso an experimental band that opened the doors for the shape of things to follow.
I don't get so others cannot either. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself man.
@@elusory3735 with man you're like, so wise
Good to see the band playing right before the major label gunk got their mandibles across their artistry
so fucking hype
