the riff is...... the way the guitars are recorded in the studio version is just amazing... it's one of these songs where you can't really tell what they're playing, you don't think about chords, something that happens with most Pavement songs...it's like pure music, and weird notes put together.. pure music as something new and weird and exciting.

[@BoBo0807]

I suddenly realized while watching this that "Wowee Zowee" is one of my 10 favorite albums, ever, by anyone. Thanks for the kick in the tuchis. Pavement ist gut.

[@modestlyneutral]

This is fucking amazing. Pavement are undoubtedly one of the greatest bands ever.

[@steadyrhythms9571]

greatest stage-right-man of all time

[@savanahslamma]

Pavement will forever be amazing. One of my favourite bands for sure. Seeing videos like this only make me want a re-union tour more and more.

[@hankno1]

I was at this gig. Their last ever. Brixton accademy. Best gig I ever went to. THE best band ever, bar non.

[@SpOoOokyGhost]

So many good songs on Wowee Zowee.

[@jodysoldman]

F.N. Beautiful !!!

[@corm88]

best performance in the history of rock n' roll....legit.

[@SpOoOokyGhost]

PLEASE, PLEA, BOYS ARE DYING ON THESE STREETS. This song blew me away the first time i heard it. And it still does.

[@tom656]

i almost cried when they confirmed they were coming to the uk, so what if its in like a year, i can die a happy man when i see pavement live.

[@elvarfreyrelvarsson]

the absolute coolest guitar nerd-hero ever ....

[@beaugiov]

Pavements been around since 1989 fools! give em props they deserve. very influential band! they have and continue to give 110%

[@slopium]

saw them play this at the Greek in Berkeley last summer (2010)for the reunion tour... love love love love love Pavement, love this song....They are possibly the most important Indie band ever!

[@Evocati2008]

"he spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes and the bedside morale..." awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bigd934]

yeee sounded just as good live 9/18/10 in Boston. great concert

[@tom656]

Sensational! I want them to get back together, I was too young to see them first time round!

[@pshootman]

you are so right.....reminds me of good times when I hear them.

[@bashuppark]

The greatest band eva!!

[@paulscrase3877]

One of the most underrated uniquely influential bands ever.

[@hobocakes]

man SM soloing with the guitar on his head...whoa!

[@paulrpinson]

objectively this is probably the best pavement song

[@lapdogwilly1]

Greatest pavement song ever, anyone?

[@jazzmaster341]

I'M SO HAPPY THEY"RE REFORMING!!!

[@1sniper1wolf1]

My favorite Pavement song.

[@lalijew]

Ich könnte dieses Lied hoch- und runterspielen. Toll! :-) Great!

[@ishandave3542]

This is exactly the kind of music I was looking for

[@TheCousin666]

one of their greatest songs...

[@pnkclarinetgrl13]

favorite pavement song ever

[@lllauz]

probably my favourite Pavement song too!

[@hankno1]

They opened with this at Brixton. Did they at Manchester?

[@KwlNerd]

@Heuh999 Has a great chill-out vibe to it. And the lyrics just describe my summers.

[@wichoagc]

I once smoked as much weed as Malkmus probably had during this concert, I then realized Grounded was the greatest song ever written... Not saying you need weed to enjoy this but it sure helps understand the state in which this song exists, it helped them write this whole fucking album

[@blanamana4214]

Purelly amazing *.*

[@drdread70]

Great song.

[@meshhat2]

The BEST! LOVE IT

[@avantsweater]

It's on the Pavement Slow Century DVD

[@whales]

great song

[@BowenHumphrey]

@Fernandovba Well im pretty sure it will be everywhere. At leas Mexico, it depends how commited you are. I hope to see them at least 4 times this year.. fingers crossed

[@lazanahoriia]

Love this song...still makes me so blue

[@Lugak14]

This song makes me cry. Grounded, All the Go in Betweens by Silversun Pickups, and anything by Elliott Smith. I'm a sucker for emotion.

[@beermilkshake]

Looks pretty cool.

[@JoeSakana]

Sorry. It just bugs me that this absolutely gorgeous performance of one of my favorite songs has so many people dissing my favorite band in the comment section. When both bands SHOULD have overlapping fanbases with similar tastes. It's ridiculous.

[@cp1031]

pavement is awesome

[@crocodilewerewolf]

First pavement song i heard on pandora and thought it was bloody fantastic

[@Hilikus3434]

WOW!!!

[@Wright_on]

Agree.... vehemently

[@SuperBedford]

me toooo!

[@Slander78]

Awesome. Hope I get to see them again. Amazing song, one of my faves. Was this video recorded in Chicago?

[@poldc]

feels like a dream

[@modestomi]

prague and vienna as well!

[@jan000]

yeahhhhhhh

[@JACKDULUOZ11]

they had been around years before modest mouse and had generally stuck to a similar style throughout their career characterized by malkmus' humorous, colorful lyrics and guitar play. the funniest part though is your name is, "modestdarkness."

[@TheKingoftheRodeo]

Pretty positive this entire show is on Pavement: Slow Century DVD.

[@20manu08]

just waiting for this moment....

[@MrBellender]

beauty

[@liudmiivnc.806]

самая красивая песня в мире

[@wevegotafileonyou]

@KwlNerd Don't know why but i consider it as a winter song (if it really exists)...

[@Balout-m8k]

may 2010 here!

[@Fernandovba]

How Worldly will their World Tour actually be? There's a definate need to play this in Brazilian shores.

[@zcd4000]

i read that Scott kannberg was the only one who worked on the reissues.

[@ZRN959]

@lapdogwilly1 I second that ruling.

[@islifereal]

fucking amazing

[@KwlNerd]

@easyluckyfree7 It feels like one of those summer relaxing songs, reminds of sitting in a field doing sweet sweet nothing :)

[@7sterling]

man. If I ever do anything that cool...

[@takeovermdp]

pavement come to ARGENTINA!!!!!!

[@AFXAcid37]

i saw 'em last year in boston... unfortunately i was far back, but still... fucking Pavement!!!

[@TeamZissou88]

Shady Lane In the mouth of a Desert Range Life Gold Soundz

[@gloomandglow]

@lapdogwilly1 greatest SONG ever.

[@maxsalty01]

@lapdogwilly1 yes.

[@ArchyMailbo]

I agree. WZ = an absolute monster, but I'd argue their most consistent too. I adore every track except for Western Homes.

[@videovdvelde]

pavement!!!!!!!!!

[@cirkatomic]

i luv the hexx for myself

[@Fressix]

Wait, the intro is similar to Explosions in the Sky's "First Breath After Coma" melody. : O Check it out!

[@thomasfavelle]

@beggars Do you happen to know what year this was recorded in?

[@girthbrooks1708]

Thomas Favelle this show was in 1999

[@burndenpaddock741]

he is

[@kayak0055]

Hmm. After watching the DVD, and learning about all the drama between SM and Spiral, I can't help but be reminded of it when watching vids like this, or even listening to songs. I mean, SM comes across as a real douche, and I haven't heard good things about him online either. It seems like Scott was always getting shafted by him. BUT, I must say the double guitar in this live version is fucking killer!

[@UnbirthdayGirl13]

@lapdogwilly1 : Definitely ...

[@TheBensont123]

@JustinStarbuck modest mouse is actually great. especially their older stuff. but it's your opinion

[@cactaceous]

Stephen himself has admitted that he acted like a dickhead at the end of Pavement, he even called himself the skinny prima donna. He was very frustrated because he was the only one growing as a musician. The others are just not as good as he is and it was weighing his creativity down. He was even pissed on occasions when the others would fuck up, but then again he fucked up regularly himself, and still does. He just wanted to play with better musicians to raise his game. And he did and does.

[@frusciante2439]

Anybody have tabs for rhythm and lead ?

[@sartori69]

@pogi7 Greenlander!

[@JoeSakana]

No, MM happens to be my favorite band of all time. I also love Pavement, and I respect the opinion of anyone who thinks Pavement is better. It's just saying that comment is "the dumbest thing ever said on youtube" kinda hurts because this is KZbin. Much, much dumber things have been said. As depressing as that is.

[@BeardedSailor1]

who the fuck are modest mouse (pavement 4 ever)

[@bearbry9485]

modest mouse cites their influences with bands such as pixies, meat puppets, oh and you guessed it... pavement!

[@Zatzzo]

stephen malkmus has the greatest way of executing a riff. who needs pete townshend?

[@JARVISMCJIGGLESTEIN]

what year was this show?

[@gltwn]

1999 I think. They had those lights on the stands in fall 1999

[@JoeSakana]

Please link to your legendary-band-identifying credentials. And why not listen to the Lonesome Crowded West and Long Drive and Building Nothing Out of Something while your at it.

[@comehead914]

theyve been gone for 10 years now ):

[@euromaldito]

it´s a pitty, Mark it´s fucking funny on stage!

[@KwlNerd]

Is this a summer song for anyone else? or is it just me? ha

[@jakep34]

@lapdogwilly1 I've yet to find a better track.. although I'd say Elevate Me Later probably ties it.

[@imjohnandyouare]

@modestdarkness Modest mouse was rally fuckin good in the 90's but these guys were making music first. and their style isnt really the same

[@Hoss06]

Look at malkmus kick ass on the guitar.

[@firedownbelow958]

this is good, but the version on the slow century dvd is better.

[@maxsalty01]

@lapdogwilly1 Sh#t yes.

[@unclejunglebass]

is malkmus the coolest man alive??

[@han444]

I know where you can find the tabs.

[@zjw1835]

牛逼
