[@wrightcarl1181]

Always the greatest SY member in my opinion

[@b.c.7741]

Thurston

[@ktakyon]

He fckin beat up nardwuar and broke his gift

[@aisle_of_view]

Hard to choose. All ingredients in a great recipie.

[@ILoveDavidLynch]

@@ktakyon waaaaaaah 👶👶👶

[@andresjacome296]

sonic youth members' solo albums prove that the band was a perfect composition of individual forces in pretty democratic manner, at least sound wise

[@MaggotBill666]

Perfect.

[@mattsweetland9579]

Yeah...how anyone could cheat on Kim Gordon baffles my mind.

[@luismoraless7133]

I like that way of thinking (: instead of the ussual comments figuring that only one member is the real god of the band and i guess it's really notable with sonic youth and this video, i kinda thought/felt the same :P

[@luismoraless7133]

@Matt Sweetland I guess time is a bitch

[@arlingtonhynes]

Luis Morales S And/or Kim Gordon is.

[@kmrproductions5494]

Lee is free

[@guillaumerivain]

Setlist : 0:15 Moroccan Mountains 10:52 Uncle Skeleton 22:34 Circular (Right as Rain) 28:00 Thrown Over The Wall

[@rszilvarn]

His vocals are beautiful.

[@harmanburns]

Huge sound for a trio; for the first few minutes I kept expecting the camera to cut to another player or two. Fantastic

[@fullboreraw]

This guy is super cool. I wasn't very familiar with him before...loved it...so open and positive

[@luizspindola]

He wasn't nice to Nardwuar tho

[@stankcooter]

Luiz Spindola lmao they were being such assholes in that

[@angryfrogger]

Harassing other people is not cool.

[@ILoveDavidLynch]

He was drunk and it happened in the 90s, move on… life happens lol

[@adamblumenthal99]

Now we know who put the "Sonic" in Sonic Youth... 8-)

[@jspanos500]

A very under appreciated musician (IMO).

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

AdamBike99 Fred sonic Smith from the MC5

[@nickholm]

Its a shame we never got a live recording of Sonic Youth with the brilliant audio engineers at KEXP

[@julianosoarespagin9787]

but we do have the From the Basement ... which is quite espetacular too

[@aisle_of_view]

I really like Lee. Great musician, creative, smart, and a nice person.

[@toenull]

Nice person? He bullied an interviewer and broke the CD record that he was about to give to Lee, and also kicked the interviewer in the stomach.

[@atarirob]

I dig Lee a lot these days, I feel like other members of Sonic Youth have gotten waaaay too full of themselves in recent years. Lee is keeping it as real as it gets I think.

[@jonasschmidt4142]

I think they’re all doing what’s true to themselves which makes for great art no matter the platform imo

[@calvinl5726]

nah what

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

U mean thurston

[@easymac24]

Seems like a super good dude 😎

[@KK-fw4zq]

@@easymac24he’s a bully, bullied a reporter in 1991. there’s a reason why he never got famous

[@mbarski]

Great music. Funny thing, after so many years of Sonic Youth listening, I still hear Lee voice as a part of SY.

[@volcamodularbloke5816]

It's a big part is why. Hey, do any of you freaks here remember Lenny? I can't remember his last name...

[@daft4343]

Thanks KEXP, Lee Ranaldo doing his Spaghetti Western, greatness. Charmingly awkward sonic self as usual :)

[@massimomarchini5835]

Mi ricorda Amarillo Ramp Grazie di esistere LEE

[@oak-und-noise]

saw him 2 years ago in my town, sick gig

[@nadiaoemar82]

Very other worldly! 😍

[@fpicc8807]

Talented, sincere guy that never came across as an ego maniac.

[@meloponiaz]

So nice to have experienced 2x this setlist on Lee´s solo acoustic in Sao Paulo, and now get to hear it re-arranged for a band. This man is high up with his positive energy!

[@GeeAmbler]

💎🥇 Lee Ranaldo - Cosmic Wanderer & Sound Scientist! Band is 💣 as well. 💯

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

I love lees voice he could say anything and id listen and he sings great.

[@artinheart8570]

So beautiful

[@camilopibi]

Genial, qué música más buena, Lee Ranaldo es un tipo muy astuto, experimental.

[@muchoverde70]

[@meezerpocalypse6651]

[@DONDESONS]

Simplemente Genial, un disco nesesario a cualquier hora del dia. y gracias por dejarnos estar en el proceso de grabación con HELLO HELLO HELLO : LEE RANALDO : ELECTRIC TRIM (Fred Riedel)

[@radwizard]

Thank You for posting!

[@TheNeverposts]

very charismatic

[@timwatt651]

How have I never seen this

[@MyAstrica]

A dream come true

[@rszilvarn]

He's really, really Humble. Wow

[@94definicion]

The radio host is so blown awayyy

[@guitashamilele]

10:28 Holy shit, Lee is playing in standard...! (sure doesn't SOUND like standard tuning though)

[@ii00iiii0ii0i]

Reminds me the best parts of nyc ghosts and flowers

[@stephenparis9595]

Nothing against Thurston or Kim, but I'm digging this. Seems a little less ego driven.

[@juliehosier1777]

moroccan mountains reminds me of joni mitchell's jazz period if she introduced just a little more drone in the equation

[@wallofsoundproduction9180]

one word : Brilliant !

[@4578a]

The Lee Ranaldo experience. It's a 3 piece too.

[@alberto149mc]

lee is such a nice person lol

[@mrdoom3686]

Lee oh my music god

[@harrymarshall]

The spirit of George,, lives !!

[@miguelgomezvillar5184]

Raul is the other world. Ufff

[@grojasb4010]

[@igrif]

[@TheGreatBlackBird]

[@spiritualcramp8000]

[@ihrstinkt100]

💕❤️💕

[@Kusaila]

ese Refree ahi :)

[@user-gi2fj2ju2s]

Чуваки явно словили волну!

[@Chiefthepup]

Does anyone here know what that novation device is that's putting out that beautiful drone. It says peak on it but I have no idea what that is. Please KZbin comments pull thru for me

[@SnaFOo75]

Novation Peak. It's a polyphonic synth

[@migueltorres-cq2pe]

niceeeeeeeeeeeee

[@stephenbradley6285]

I agree with Andres.Although I can hear Renaldo on his own.His trio is pretty, bloody good.These guys understand

[@LARosie-ym2wm]

Ese Refree! Yeah!!!

[@stephenbradley6285]

Sonic Youth put the Sonic in Sonic Youth.Thusrston and Kim really are the glue but they really are one.They could not have done it without each other

[@luismoraless7133]

yeah!

[@laurentandre2214]

Fucking good

[@weixin4739]

听出了太阳冉冉升起的味道

[@ruimendes3130]

such an nice band!! Can someone tell me what a beautiful guitar this is? 24:31 (the acustic one)

[@afinasounaoafinas]

rui Mendes that would be a Gibson J-35. Cheers

[@harrymarshall]

If there was 10 (ten) important statues at the library of congress,, Lee Ranaldo would be one,,😏 Fortunately,, the ethereality of music don't need no idolithics ,,, 😏🕊️

[@danielmerchan3732]

They sound like The Velvet Underground. Great for Lee.

[@arlingtonhynes]

That first song is better than everything I’ve ever heard from SY, combined. But that’s not saying much.

[@matiasv248]

But but diamond sea wn

[@herlockkk]

!!!

[@pacome3333]

:)

[@flasheante]

[@blakegibbo8606]

The first one I thought it would make it better if you had a lot more to choose and you could play with the same ones you can see and it would make it better but the app crashes when I get the same number of times and I don’t get the same number and I don’t get the time I need it haha I have a few friends that have a few different ones but it doesn’t have a good selection but it doesn’t have to get the new one I have it and it doesn’t even have to get the same ones on the app but it won’t get me back on the phone it won’t get me back on the phone so it will be fixed I have a new one but it doesn’t work I don’t get the new ones. This was all auto type😂😂

[@Kusaila]

lo mismo te produce a Kiko Veneno que a Lee Ranaldo, ole

[@user-kt3qm1hu9z]

25:53 tf kind of solo is that

[@theWARMJET]

SY going REM

[@thomas79marshall]

29:25 is the actual point when I trashed all my old Sonic Youth records.

[@timothyrice1621]

The lyrics and vocal delivery remind me a lot of Phish

[@DJJSerpico]

Also Gira's approach these days.

[@mantra3000]

I really thought this would be shitty. But it actually holds up quite well.

[@filippomazzini1676]

Just reunite SY please...

[@glazinghost5951]

Nah, fuck Thurston Moore

[@joemurphy5035]

Why are his vocals so delayed?

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

At 6:25 was stolen from the velvet underground’s heroin

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

Joe Rodriguez cacophony was not invented by the velvet underground

[@maikpsyo3668]

Oh this is the trash that was mean to nardwar

[@eduardomello2207]

You guys that think that lee is cool, did you see what him and moore did with nardwuar?

[@angelaneatby663]

what happened? Please don't tell me he was an asshole with Nard.

[@enthra1728]

Angela Neatby It was mostly Thurston, but they were kind of snobby. Just kinda messing with him. 1991. To be fair though, most people would be annoyed by Nardwuar if they hadn’t even heard of him before an interview.

[@eduardomello2207]

After This, in 2010 (i think) Lee broke a cd again

[@einarutrera7258]

Neta pagan por ver esto?

[@innerfixer]

¿Alguien ha pagado por verte? No sé digamos... has tocado en radio mil veces o más supongo ...

[@germanbas8322]

Hi hipsters. Feel better?

[@martingrahan1437]

Pretty crappy IMO, when they were all together was perfect

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Too many LOOPS. And why is why copying Jimmy page with the bow?

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Too much influence of la Monte Young and fluxus
