Sonic Youth - Live at Campo Pequeno Lisboa 1993

Pay attention new musicians. This is where a lot of us come back to because these guys and gal were the real deal. They knew good music and pushed it so far, whether it be tunings, pedals, sounds and structure. Sy forever.

This was a great concert (I was there). SY were a great band (like Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Iggy Pop and some other performers) that tested the limits of rock 'n' roll to its extremes! SY's control of dissonance is phenomenal...Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo complement each other so well..

Steve Shelley -so underrated

[@stacyburningsky8613]

I completely agree. To me, both Steve and Budgie of Siouxsie & the Banshees/The Creatures are 2 of thee most incredible drummers whose band-mates not only owe a great deal of respect, but so do thee fans or even critics- both extremely talented, underrated and neither will probably ever receive thee actual kudos and respect they so truly deserve in this life-time. Oh, and they are both very, very nice people as I have met them both. Steve only for a moment but I have had an amazing (to me) stroke of luck whilst living in San Francisco for some 25 yERAs and got drunk more than a couple times with both Siouxsie and Budgie when thery started touring as The Creatures in 1999 thru 2004- I got to hold one of Budgie's HUGE Taiko drum sticks, closer to a baseball bat - I mean, those HUGE drums that they hang from the ceiling and beat to a whimper are just astonishing! I have a total thing for drums so I apologize as I sort of digressed. My best to ever-E-one. LovEternaL.

it´s a part of anyones life ,the cofee places ,where you could only see people from the waist down, and in closed rooms concerts it was forbiden to smoke, but who would say it to hundreds of people high and drunk, it makes sense but at the time since you were born all live ,everywhere ,the message was "Smoking is cool" T.V, sport events , mclaren seemed to vanish when they were forced to take out of their cars the graphics from marlboro, first only the name than the graphics that anyone could relate with marlboro, i remenber beeing young and the champion from 150 meters runing, saying ,after a proof what else than camels, it makes you relax, i would guess ,a bottle of water would be better, normally sonic youth smoked while playing ,this concert is it an exception?(don´t have time to see it now i´m at work) kim deal was pregnant

[@pedrogaspar1830]

It was an amazing day. I was 19 at the time. No mobile phones yet, no internet. I, Gilberto and his guitarist friend (Agostinho) of a local band (Popeye Pos Moderno?) from a village next to ours (S. João do Campo), we came down from Coimbra in an early morning train to get tickets to everybody, including my brothers-in-law who would drive to Lisbon later in the day, just in time for the concert, and would give us a lift back north at the end of it. We met some Agostinho's friends (the sister of the vocalist of his band and her boyfriend?) who attended EBAL (Lisbon School of Fine Arts) at the time. I remember we had lunch at EBAL and that in the afternoon we spent a lot of time in the said boyfriend's room nearby. He was also a guitarist and had a very nice (Boss?) pedal board which he had gotten some months before in the USA. He had no amp though, so he showed us how it worked and the effects it had with headphones which we experimented in turns. Agostinho played a while also. Bottles of beer were being drank and joints of weed were being smoked. I got high from the beer and from breathing the enriched air in the small room. At some point a meeting was arranged with some dealer from the south side who would get acid to some of us. We walked down to Cais do Sodré and relaxed there for a while waiting for the dealer's boat to arrive. We then walked back up to Bairro Alto, I'm not sure where to exactly, nor what we did. Maybe we ate something at EBAL? At some point we noticed we had lost track of time and that if we were to get to Campo Pequeno in time for the concert we had to call a taxi, which we did. Still, we arrived late. My brothers-in-law were already there waiting for us. We missed most of the opening bands but got in in time to see everything of SY's performance that night. The video now released made me remember how I felt lucky for seeing them perform live a mix of songs that we all knew so well and many new great ones that would later come out in Experimental jet set. I saw SY live 3 more times. In 98 at Sudoeste, together with Yo La Tengo, in 99 at Aula Magna and in 2010 at Coliseu de Lisboa.
