[@namemycolossalsquid]

Is a pyramid a museum if you sell poor tourists water in it?

[@ab7dasker]

Truly ferocious energy. What a loss. I don't think there's been anyone since who rocks this hard.

[@prod6mill.512]

There hasn’t ._.

[@benderB9]

goddamn. It's crazy how he blasts through the set

[@LargeLatinoDude]

All of those guys! Props to all of them.

[@Yeastlord]

Cocaine eyes

[@bleepblorpp]

The fucking KING. Gone, but never forgotten. No one has rocked anywhere close this hard since his passing.

[@gourganedemethane3375]

Am I the only one who often comes back to see this video for the bassist's performance?! RIP Jay

[@TehNarwhalz]

come back at least once a year

[@AcrylicHouseMusic]

now in wavves hehe

[@jeromemartel9913]

i come back every once in a while too!

@@AcrylicHouseMusicit’s been more than a decade dickweed

[@slaythembeforeme]

I come back for Jay!

[@bleepblorpp]

I had the honor of interviewing Jay for Spin back in the late 2000's. Probably the greatest rocker of my generation, who left us way too soon.

[@versnellingspookie]

Can i still read your interview somewhere?

[@nevadatan7323]

Really? Definitely agree with above ^^

[@aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh]

rip jay.

[@RadioactiveHipsters]

Need this interview

[@iamthefirsttosecond]

Just ripping through the tunes. Legendary RIP

[@scottwilson8978]

iamthefirsttosecond such an enjoyable set. So inspirational.

[@slaythembeforeme]

Ripping through the set, no bs filler in between. Just like The Ramones. This is how it's done.

[@MADOUT_VPS]

@@slaythembeforeme💎

[@peterfrancis6194]

Definition of underrrated. Jay was a the gem that was better than all the rest but never had the dirt cleaned off. Perfect.

[@willreader9218]

This is one of the most underrated punk bands

[@owencooke5461]

Will Reader *was ;(

[@Jacksmusicshack]

Seconded.

[@descontrolparental5695]

coolest thing

[@justrelax129]

Wants to like this comment but doesn’t wanna let it go past 69 thumbs up

[@letsplaygamesd3991]

I mean I guess they are not super mainstream but they are not underrated jay reatard has gotten tons of critical acclaim and is appropriately rated

[@15graciegrace]

rip fucking legend

[@dasdead]

RIP TO ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS OF ALL TIME.

[@BombBoutique]

2021 and still can't stop watching this gig....

[@Thrashman138]

Are we going to talk about how this set contains the best version of "Oh It's Such a Shame"?

[@glenzigdan]

I was just thinking the same about "my shadow

[@zoemartin3208]

i feel like he's kinda rushed but i love "Nightmares" so much here

[@DaikyojuGappa]

And the best version of Hammer i miss you too.

[@mkuehter12]

absolutely shredding. They hit a peak during that song.

[@RadioactiveHipsters]

Those solos at the end are so brutal but so heartfelt. He is so free. That moment encapsulates jimmy lee Lindsay

[@ifellawake]

great guy, seriously a genuinely good person. as violent as he seemed. He had a good heart, it shines through the music

[@lottostuuud]

quigs Jay loved this shit I mean him going up there and slashing record after record got himself going he genuinely loved this shit the dude loved going on tour with new material he was insanely awesome wish I could’ve went to one of his shows

[@RudolfSchmidt]

Whenever I realize on what specific date something great like this show happened, I always try to remember what I was doing , or what I was likely to be doing at the same exact moment it was going on. It's both kinda sad (that I missed it), and a cause for celebration (that it was happening at all). Makes me wonder what grandiose thing is unfolding as I type this. As I drink my 5th beer.

[@carlrs15]

i was sitting in some stupid college class picking my nose (in all likelihood)

[@matthewboe2655]

Definately gonna be grandiose lmao look tf out! Here we go

[@danielf.2667]

Awesome comment. I've done the same

[@neilvincent5524]

So, err, what were you doing 10th October 2007?

[@benbenpotato]

I was probably playing wii

[@kevinallen899]

Miss this goofball so much and I never even knew him. Always find myself crawling back to this video just to see how a real show is done.

[@AndreaDellaCorte-qg2zg]

I really love Jay Reatard's music and I listen him every day but it also let me feel so sad to know that I will never see him live and he will never create other garage-punk masterpieces

[@ifellawake]

A true OG of the garage rock wave. \m/. No one could ever match that rage.

[@0b5ervant]

It's 2021. I'm still here.

[@juvenromero3715]

Blood Visions was the soundtrack to high school for me.

[@benbenpotato]

Me too man.

[@osufan77]

10 years, RIP.

[@wiu4597]

The sound quality is incredibly awesome, not to mention the performance itself :---0

[@Rubberfooted]

A piece of history. The legend of Jay and his band live on.

[@manzanadejoya]

King of punk rock, missing you Jay

[@averageslacker6054]

Wavves and Jay Reatard

[@juvedoo99]

Jay Reatard would fall so nicely into today’s punk revival. But during the mid 00s was a really good era for underground punk bands and backyard shows.

[@nathanielhowell7320]

Billy is such a dope drummer man

[@KingBoner]

dude has a tone of stamina

[@MickMod]

Still can't believe he's gone. RIP legend

[@RegularDude00]

Nobody back then probably thought that this would be viewed by garage rockers all over the globe.

[@calmdown.7646]

love the crowd, they are awkward but they have energy and that's what matters

[@evankilgore1199]

Haha that’s me you’re talking about!

[@nevthepunk]

@@evankilgore1199 what do you mean, were you in this crowd?

[@evankilgore1199]

@@nevthepunk yup. I’m standing right in front of Jay. Brown shirt shirt hair. Was right next to the guy who kept stepping on his pedals and who he threatened to kick in the face. I plugged his pedals back in.

[@calmdown.7646]

@@evankilgore1199 wow, that's so sick. seeing them up close must've been intense

[@brandonlefton1346]

This is such a fine capture of a phenomenal performance. This is the closest I'll feel to being at a Jay Reatard show :-/

[@brandonlefton1346]

I was 11 when this was filmed and I would have loved Jay Reatard more than anything, but obviously wasn't aware of pitchfork or underground music back then lol. His personality and style reminds me of the same-age local fail-bands I thought were so cool back then

[@chihuahuaman7025]

Just recently discovered theses guys. Completely blew my mind. Really good stuff.

[@angelas4987]

DITTO

[@Quilt666]

There is no substitute for Jay

[@AndreaDellaCorte-qg2zg]

I really love Jay Reatard's music and I listen him every day but it also let me feel so sad to know that I will never see him live and he will never create other garage-punk masterpieces

[@cafferacer]

Amazing then and now…

[@johns.6197]

His songs are so short they leave you wanting more

[@1chriscarlone]

the sound is perfection

[@rorykillian749]

I miss him so much man

[@TehNarwhalz]

still one of the best live sets ive ever watched

[@sheridanj13]

amazing musician and great dude - but to anybody saying this crowd is lame, the only way they crowd could possibly keep up with him is if he shared some of the blow that he obviously did right before this set lmao

[@ShanntahnPininchula]

Truth anyhow.

[@jxn042]

doesn’t take blow to mosh lol

[@ttott0013]

Prejudgment is a plague humans like to share to other humans that didn't ask

[@thomasdupont7186]

Jay was a douchebag, I can assure you since I lived with him and met him before he even coined his "nickname" (that wasn't a choice on his part by the way).

[@nevthepunk]

he didn't like the crowds doing anything, he said it many times. no clapping, no cheering. just stand there and nod

[@DylanJ138]

A true underrated artist. Catchy song after catchy song and i cant seem to get enough! Jay you will always be missed dearly...

[@zakryrivas523]

You left too early Jay! The most underrated punk rock band of all time. May you find your reward in the afterlife!

[@Cleastwould]

Would have loved to see him live. Awesome show.

[@osufan77]

I credit seeing this performance on Pitchfork with convincing me to go see him live about 6 months before he passed. Good looking out.

[@matthewlarkin1651]

That energy! So much of it still remains (^:

[@danielf.giacumbo4949]

need this whole set on cd or vinyl . its literally perfect.

[@isaiahbishop6781]

I watched this like 100 times

[@mfmatthew420]

I literally watch this set multiple times a day at this point

[@blakewesthomas8051]

The synchronized head bangs during the chorus of My Shadow are awesome

[@TheJkatt21]

Absolutely SICK AND GUTTED that I'll never get to see Jay live. What a fuckin powerhouse. RIP.

[@fanoftom3483]

I Know A Place is one of my favorite songs to this day

[@Elaine-oo4qp]

RIP Brother.

I always come back to this for my fix of “hammer i miss you” miss ya jay X

what energy. RIP.

[@jamessommers6225]

WOW! Very cool, just picked up Blood Visions on vinyl today. Can't wait to get home and turn it up LOUD!

[@jgtyjyrf4493]

Here is one of the best bands of the years 2000 to 2010. Thank you for remembering this. RIP Jay ❤

[@Nothingggspecialtv]

Also, that's the same bassist and drummer of early Wavves!

[@brandonburroughs7128]

Stephen still plays bass with Wavves

Legendary. Missing you, Jay.

I'd do everything to be at that place at that time. Best 20 minutes concert ever !

[@elzen4939]

they are tearing it up. so sad I just recently discovered this band after the frontman's death 8..(

[@scottefarmer1495]

Jay will live on forever in the record. What an amazing talent he was

[@joesmoe4778]

This makes me want to play music

The drummer ran his most exhausting marathon ever, no time for breathing 🎉

[@DrunkOnline67]

When i wake up and my neck isnt in pain, i look directly at the bassist to give me that pain anew

[@jacal4333]

This feels like its is being played at 1.25x speed. THAT PACE

[@dedadoe]

It is, they do it so they can play all songs in the same tempo. It's a good strategy to keep people dancing.

[@nevadatan7323]

Adhd n addiction mate 🙏💗

[@TheShahtariq]

utterly maniacal.

[@christopherpesce1076]

Goddamn this is gold. Such gods.

[@nihowdy1]

RIP jay, keep shredding

[@Aardquark777]

NO STEREO IS LOUD ENOUGH FOR THIS SET

[@ericmu11er]

how could these people in the crowd not mosh to this?

[@Cleastwould]

Maybe they are taken aback by the raw power of that fine piece of live performance. I don't get it myself.

[@evankilgore1199]

I’m the guy right next to Jay in the brown shirt. This venue was about 12 feet wide and 6 ft high. Moshing would have been incredibly awkward and not much fun. The night after this at Death By Audio was much moshier and equally fun.

[@jormanmora1]

I always come back here and feel like sht. Love you jay, miss this all

I listen to this so much! Love you Jay RIP!
