[@milowent]

me and grandma used to listen to this. ah memories.

[@cherrykoolaiddisasters]

wait really…

[@colinrobert6766]

You must’ve had a cool grandma

[@LESTATAK]

I really like the early footage of this legendary band. Wish there was more of it.

[@BoddAHO]

freakin awesome. 1983 is the best year of them

[@NESman-dm3wd]

>1986

[@Luis-ov8eq]

@@NESman-dm3wd um no. They weren't even that well known then.

[@Aqua.man045]

@@Luis-ov8equmm they were on college rock stations

[@bobbybecker3572]

Yeah they weren't even well known then, cuz that's what determines how great they were at any given time

[@jmckenzie962]

This feels like historic footage from like the 1930s or some shit

[@spookybaba]

I loved the pre Daydream albums. This is great!

[@AZZippy]

Back in '83, there WERE a lot of band with a woman raving in front and background weirdness (think Lydia Lunch). They didn't get on the radio. What Sonic Youth was doing was different from the outset, but I think it took a while for the form to develop. I'm glad Kim starting playing bass!

[@coldacre]

she was playing bass from the very beginning. she just wasn't on this song

[@Lovereignsupreme]

nice, the best teacher we ever had.

[@evanom2]

I can see how they influenced NIrvana

[@digital_2k]

they made a tour with Nirvana, Hole, Mudhoney, BlackFrancis, Dinosaur Jr, The Ramones, and more in the 90's Thurston, Kim, Lee, JMascis, Courtney, Kurt, Dave and Mark Arm were good friends until today. You should watch 1991 The Year That Punk Broke. Amazing documentary

[@indetroit442]

i really love kim.

[@kalemarefrite]

i'm realy starting to like their older songs, last week when i saw them they started with the burning spear,it was so great!!

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

I love it, nothing beats the original.

[@geliasr2562]

[@dbhipolito]

This version is on Confusion is Sex. There is a "rap" version on the Cicconne Youth album.

[@AustinTXSlasher]

[@risboturbide9396]

Only video on your channel? Since 14 years? I'm subscribing anyway 🍻

[@ebeep]

Thank you for posting!!!!!!!!! This is the earliest footage I've seen, how did you get it?

[@altotap]

I can understand why a lot of people wont get on with it... but I think a lot of people live in a pretty small world - i love it and know the same principle went into this as did sugar kane or something else. you've really got to listen - when you get it this kind of music inhibits you like no other can come close to touching.

[@uburei]

OH CHRISSSSSSSSSSSSST

[@beermacht80]

esta, yo creo, es la primera grabración de sonic youth en vivo ultra punk

[@Lovereignsupreme]

Love the 'costumes' LOL.

[@zxc1974]

[@rayolacer]

omg thats so true!!!!! i have done all my portfolio listwening to it thats so weird, maybe it actually is good for it cooooooooool

[@Jemasonj]

Thanks! I love this song! It just cant be played loud enough!

[@frostbyte9175]

2021 - Year 2 of COVID and the Lockdowns. Time to reflect

[@mhofkp]

not the 1st LP. the burning spear/i dream i dreamed was before confusion

[@betterwiththespray]

wowow,thank you

[@robertgroslezard202]

Génial ! :)

[@syntheticgasmasks]

this somehow reminds me of Throbbing Gristle, fuck, I wish I was born in the mid-70s

[@bringbackthe1960sppl]

there is a company called south tree (or something like that) that can convert it inot a dvd for 16 bucks if you send it to them. it also looks like there is other ways but way more money.. damn some of the machines cost like 300 dollars.

[@gexaaklgvyjkreh7343]

classic, kim

[@ExodusPessoa]

lol That's a good RainmanCT very funny.

[@matthewcobrien]

So ahead of their time! What an amazing group for three decades!

[@darylcumming7119]

Thank you.

[@caio20118]

[@PGG81]

il riff di school dei nirvana assomiglia molto a questo..come sempre sonici maestri :)

[@ofot1]

well, this was cool!! thanks!

[@g3ud0]

She kinda sounds like a war protester or something. *Hugs*...

[@FrdTBO]

Les mecs qui ont vu ça à Poitiers (Poitiers !!!) en 83 ont dû se prendre la claque de leur vie !

[@catrinahilger8569]

She used to wear cowboy boots with dresses or skirts. I loved it.

[@misterzero8667]

The skirt was quite see through as well

[@olaparavoce]

excellente petite video, bluffant de retrouvé un concert de Sonic Youth a Poitiers sur youtube, j'y été pas (trop petit) mais j'ai chopé l'affiche de ce concert il y a longtemps sur Niort...alors forcement, hop dans mes favoris !

[@musicphan1]

I know they've done things with Lydia Lunch before and SY has been influenced by Lydia Lunch and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks before.

[@snappycruise]

soniiiiiiiiiiiiiiic youuuuuuuuuth! ndeed!

[@virusinsideus]

@Sound4Sense there are good like minded bands out there, they are just harder to find!

[@monstergod888]

Sounds like Territory by Sepultura but i know SY came First.

First show in Europe, in Poitiers, France, la capitale du Chabichou

[@BlueOceanBelow]

@Sound4Sense There are plenty that do, and there always will be, they're just not as popular. Like most things, you have to dig deeper to find the good stuff!

[@matteoblau]

pure attantion for absolut rock punk & roll!!!!

[@cosmonauta2001]

Wow! Sonic Youth à Poitiers?! Incredible since it's a small boring town in the french country.

[@derradjifabrice5853]

Not at this time... They played w/ orchestre rouge and killing joke....

[@ExodusPessoa]

I didn't know the band was this old wow!!!!!!!

[@Jemasonj]

I consider the term "Awful" a great compliment. When you look at what "Good" mainstream music was then, and is now, to sound like this is refreshing.
