Shellac 25th Touch and Go Anniversary

video and description taken from www.tgrec.com/i...
All of us here at Touch and Go are pleased to announce the release of the first in our web series of mini-videos about our 25th anniversary birthday bash held last September at the Hideout here in Chicago. Now, for all of you who couldn't make the trek, here's a way (other than all those blurry youtube videos) to check out Big Black's stellar set, David Yow in all his writhing glory, or any of the 29 other bands that rocked thousands of socks off in one glorious weekend.
The series kicks off on our website this Monday, January 22 with an overview of the block party and how it came to happen. Then, starting January 29, we'll begin posting band-specific clips from every set of the weekend. We don't want to give too much away about the first few posts, but you can expect to see a little old-school, some more recent faves, and even one from a band that's so new they haven't released a record on Touch and Go yet. In the weeks and months to come, check back every Monday for a new video from a different act blending live performance and interview footage in commemoration of 25 years of Touch and Go

Dammit, I wanna see more of the Steve and David Show!

[@Shackleton71]

Last days Radio - RIP Albini (you made life way more rad) XO

[@richardholland1865]

This performance of the end of radio still gives me chills when I think about it. What this doesn’t show is the huge audience all of whom were completely silent, and the garbage truck repair and cleaning facility viable behind the stage with a constant flow of trucks. It was something to see all around.

[@Shackleton71]

I’m so glad you got to be there…and since your post predates Steve leaving the picnic - let me ready say Sorry For Ya Loss bro

[@hotmetaldobermans]

i was right in front at this show. right after big black played. best festival there will ever be.

[@shrn666]

this was one of the best weekends of my life. even tho the weather SUCKED!! shellac is love.

[@trevorseidl5858]

Shellac is very bad ass live

[@paulthepainter2366]

This was few months before I really got into Shellac. Now I'll never get to see them. God dammit Steve!

[@JamesDeWeaver]

0:15 - 0:19 "Mr & Mrs. America & all the ships at sea"! Steve knows!

[@drfuturity]

I wondered this for years, then this week saw on the forum to his own recording studio he works at where he told someone himself that it was a regular strap, but a super-long one. It probably looks like two parts because of the ends coming off of the waist onto the guitar. Also, I think he just used one of those really wide straps with Big Black.

[@pigeonkill]

he simply wraps it around himself, trousers belt style, as he finds more comfortable to play guitar that way.

[@smoog]

you and me both. Gonna have to spend the rest of my life building a time machine!

[@mitowp]

Amazing!!!!!!!

[@SuperMario16bit]

[@MegaTJ103]
