Drummers like Steve Shelley are literally one in a million. Sonic Youth would never had reached their peaks without him

[@jonathandale7157]

My band opened for them during this time,and i saw them multiply times during 87/88/89- 92. Steve eas amazing back then;the whole band was just too!

[@inthedeepestocean1726]

He play with passion

[@CursoFrio]

no . they'd still get there ... look at metallica .. they have the worst pro drummer in Rock ...

[@dds4585]

@@CursoFrio sonic youth is a million times better than metallica

[@Best..YT..Music..Playlists]

@@CursoFrio not even close. Metallica is nothing compared to sonic youth and Steve is the most musically balanced drummer in rock. a BAND IS A BAND. sick of people trying to have "opinions" dont talk about shit you dont understand. just a suggestion. try learning before deciding what you want to believe. that said, Steve is the best rock drummer in terms of songwriting.

[@jonyone5901]

this version of green light is so disorienting, i love this.. it sounds like someone tried to combine 60s pop music with black metal

[@mr.leblanc]

I was there, so was Big Black: Steve Albini (5:28 & 16:43) & Santiago Durango (6:16)

[@bigdad72]

Do you know if footage exists of big black’s set?

[@alamos68]

I was there, but it was too early for me. I got in their music a few years later. Great to rediscover this gig again.

[@ziggyflinthawk]

It's cool to pause on the crowd and just look at how 80s some of the people look. 10:19 Ever heard of Lucid Rivers?

The guy with the sunglasses is me :)

[@NOWtheband]

@@ErikWouda - Excellence! :-)

[@ErikWouda]

@@NOWtheband It was the first time I saw them, just after the release of Sister. Already knew all their work up 'till that moment, and was a big fan. Sister is still their best album imho. They should have stopped early nineties.

[@NOWtheband]

@@ErikWouda - Good. Although I strongly disagree with your last sentence/opinion (not that my opinion or anyone's has any importance of course!)

[@foxgirl1822]

@@ErikWouda Totally agree. Goo is their last classic album imho. love everything they did up to and including it, not a big fan of what came after.

Green Light is so underrated

[@generaperu4455]

Man, Kim is hot as hell here

[@corybray7763]

My thoughts exactly . But I was gonna say she looks so beautiful here.

100 UK kids up front digging it. 1,000 other UK kids look pissed that there are no keyboards.

[@polkatronixx]

UK?

[@smoshbooz]

This is in Belgium

[@monsmartyrium]

No, as far as I know, there aren't videos circulating of those concerts... maybe in 'The Year Punk Broke', a famous 1991 documentary, you can find some stuff

[@unkletrucker]

the footage in that documentary are from another Pukkelpop gig (1991). Nirvana was playing the same day.

[@diogopinto9462]

Leopold wasn't ready for this ..

[@jeroenpeys]

Thanx! Do you also have Sonic Youth on PukkelPop'91 ? And maybe the set of Nirvana on Pukkelpop'91 ?

Glorious. Shame the album itself doesn't sound that way.

[@franziskore]

There is a funny pic around taken when this festival with Kim. Steve and Steve Albini. I guess Rapeman or Big Black were on the bill too. Great raw sound in this video, dude! totally wired.

[@ErikWouda]

[@mruncommon1]

This show is pretty much the closest they ever got to being a punk band.

[@noahphillips8007]

nah sy have always been punk. Punk is just about thinking for yourself, not conforming and being anticonsumerist, and they held that up until they got signed to a major
