Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia (Live)

[@noshitsherlok]

Back in 89 I caught Thurston Moore rummaging through my barn. He's like 8 feet tall and none of our traps stopped him. I don't know what he took but whatever it is, he can keep it. Sonic Youth rules!

I have a few questions

[@smoketj4830]

@@thomasgraham5840 Bro this comment is from 13 fucking years algo this guy is probably dead 🤣 just kidding hope hes doing good.

I'm happy I came here this morning

[@Lugak14]

steve never gets enough credit. His drums are the glue of Sonic Youth.

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

If anyone doubts Steve Shelley as a drummer, then need only to hear this. Stunning.

[@amadeuspastorius1379]

By far the best version of Schizophrenia I've heard. Must have been amazing to have witnessed this gig.

[@byogames_ela]

YES! In fact, it’s the only version I listen to. I think it’s because the way Kim sings her part, at least for me

[@punkndisorderly7691]

Absolutely amazing version I love it 😎

[@ThePegasus101]

i was there right up front

[@ignatprokhoropchyuck4652]

Respectado, amigo!

[@HarkoBarf]

I was twelve years old when i bought the Sister album, now i'm 26, it still sounds magical to me.

[@РусланБарышев-в2э]

You must be 34 now, just like me. So, how does it sounds now, mate?

[@HarkoBarf]

@@РусланБарышев-в2э Beautiful, I think it is still my favourite SY album in terms of songs and production.

[@smoketj4830]

@@HarkoBarf my dad has psychosis this song hits home.,Im 26 too i was 16 when i stumbled upon this album i was so fucking stoned and just rolled up in a ball in my bed it was life changing. its crazy to think about that 10 exact years. time flies

[@ohiogrinder]

I'm mostly a metal guy, although I was into hardcore punk during high school, I can still appreciate good underground rock when I hear it. these guys, Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, The Jesus Lizard, Pavement, etc. are a testament to timeless sounds.

[@usualdosage7287]

I'm into these exact bands now, don't forget slint, unwound, polvo, and so much more

[@DavidWattie-i2q]

Saw Dinosaur Jr on their multi night stand in Brooklyn. Lee Renaldo was special guest! Was awesome!!! Him & J have gray/white hair now, but still rockin!!! Amazing performance.

[@lucasmunhoz1359]

It's not abstract, it's transcendental.

[@hustonmann452]

When I saw 1991 The Year Punk Broke for the first time,,, I was SO entranced, transfixed and bloody enamored by how otherworldly Sonic Youth was!! I have been a fan ever since ! There is a pain in my soul to have to accept that they are no more. I feel the same way about Nirvana! Such a short but miraculous time for art, thought and music!! My biggest and most sincere hope is that there are still people out there who feel as I do and who are creating music that is way different than all of this mass produced , auto tuned crap that people are -told- to like by TV, Facebook , twitter etc. if you🫵 are a person who feels the way I do ( young or older) DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! Grab up an instrument ( not a computer) and get rockin! Music is the cure for a troubled soul in troubling times! When I didn’t have any friends when I was young, I felt like I did because of these bands and how different they were because that’s who I was,, different!❤

[@donniewynn3277]

Sonic youth are so great, they helped bands like nirvana alot. True class act

[@qauzi]

best drumming ever

[@recyclat]

who needs punk when he can have sonic youth?

[@lanceuppercut2013]

sonic youth is a punk rock band you turkey!

[@Stdain]

You suck!

Masters of guitar - goosebump city, amazing live playing

[@elmarkeweloh1484]

shivers down my spine.... still got the vhs

[@kswis23]

The intro to this song literaly gives me goose bumps, it has such an atmosphere to it.

[@nevrevr]

Can't help posting how I love that... Surely one of the greatest songs ever written. and I like this version more than the album version

[@ElectricPhase]

This is one of the best-ever captured versions of the song. I propose making this the official version of Schizophrenia.

[@TuccoBenedicto]

Love this track so much, saw them play with Pavement in Manchester, one of my fave gigs of all time.

[@lorisutliffe5616]

I saw this movie in the theaters and it changed my life!

[@cobb_thedrummer]

Better than the album version

[@ghostrid3]

someone needs to reupload that video, its all pixelated, KZbin has came along ways since 2006

[@stoningtonj]

truly one of my favorite SY songs....

[@KarlKTheDJ]

i love you kim.

[@nevrevr]

That's amazing! They're coming to a german festival and I'll see 'em there and after watching this video, I'm looking forward to see them!

[@hugeeyes04]

How was the festival?

[@TheCousin666]

one of their best songs... Love it!!!

[@ThurstonWhore1]

i wish i had the chance to see SY back in those days,And the year punk broke is the best touring/live/documentray/artist/band video ever in my opinion! awesome!!!

[@shanebrowning8862]

This post has some of the oldest comments! I remember viewing this when it had a handful of views. I too bought this because of Nirvana but came to love SY and Mascis as well. Wore this tape out.

[@sdmcnca]

Oh my..this brings back memories of the first I heard this on a walkman cassette tape I bought and I was in Jacksonville laying down in the back of my parents stationwagon....in the back compartment staring out the back glass looking at the moon and riding into the night with my Dad at the wheel and my Mom shotgun. And my Mom was like "I can hear that noise coming from your headphones, turn it down!" So I didn't. wow. 1985? It was 85 or 86. Such a sweet memory.

[@SaumBodhi]

yeah ever since i saw this in the movie, it just kinda did me. It got me in the core. It's magic.

[@eliminatorjr]

focus in on the bass @ 3:38 and then just listen. one of the most beautiful sounds ever created by humans

[@ignatprokhoropchyuck4652]

Biizarro epic anthem

[@chillidogdupree]

Definitely! His drumming on their first works--up to and including Daydream Nation--is phenomenally creative; the part stucturing is ingenious. He shows that drumming does not have to be relegated to a mindless backbeat for mindless music.

[@jackblank5777]

Kinda sound like Dino jr in this

[@keysersoze6854]

dino jr were on this tour..

[@POPNDOUGH]

Yeah, the version of Freak Scene from this show is amazing.

[@christianmcclure8693]

I also compare Dino Jr to sonic youth as the more dirty sounding version

[@thegasprices]

easily one of my top 10 favorite songs ever.

[@iowafilmdude22]

@kalemarefrite THANK YOU! I try and try to get through to these over-nostalgic, lost souls but they never listen. There's no reason to live in the yesterday when so much is also happening in the today.

[@antonoverby]

@jimellis123 it's the name of a documentary made about bands around 1991. it includes nirvana and sonic youth for sure, can't think of the others since it's been so long since i've seen it. it's called 1991: the year punk broke and that's where this video comes from.

[@elefantes1]

Fantastic Band!!Fantastic music and Fantastic show!!

[@yellinginmyear]

The point isn't to sing nice and lovely. the point is to get your feelings across in the way you feel comfortable with - it's all about putting how you feel in the way you see fit. They're not doing it to look cool it's all for a reason.

[@psypants]

they're such a powerful band live! i'm so fukn delighted i got a chance 2 see em live

[@alvarocarmoreis]

É bom voltar a ouvir este tema. Traz-me boas recordações! São imortais!

[@caerphillykid]

Have you ever seen such a tight unit live on the telly? Masterful.

[@colpetne]

@kalemarefrite thank you i thought that there was only crap today until i found a gold mine of great bands everyone who thinks there is only crap today just look around

[@fjallman90]

that's what I'm always telling my Mike Portnoy loving friends but they don't get it, Steve is the Charlie Watts of the 80's and 90's; he does what needs to be done in the song and with an exceptional groove

[@neoprene1970]

Interesting they list the tour dates at the start.. I was at the Top Hat Dun Laoghaire Dublin Ireland gig then with Nirvana as support :-)

[@xKynOx]

I am a child of the era of the colors in the sky, im so happy im felling so fine

[@xalstarx]

This footage is taken from '91:the year punk broke'. Would be good if this got a DVD release. Great song.

[@gabeuop79]

If you can find the video this clip is from, BUY IT !!! It's called "1991 - The Year Punk Broke" and has footage of tons of other bands touring with them in 1991, like Nirvana (pre-Nevermind!), Dinosaur Jr., Babes in Toyland and even the Ramones. And there's tons of hilarious backstage footage, too, like Thurston Moore interviewing non English-speaking kids and Kurt Cobain strung out on heroin. Word up to this video!

[@jacobmal]

this is beautiful

[@duffman3400]

@ElectricPhase this is taken from the film The Year That Punk Broke. It has awesome footage of Nirvana and Sonic Youth playing festivals with a lot of other great bands Dinosaur Jr. included...... CHECK IT OUT!!!!

[@ElectricPhase]

Best recorded version of this song ever.

[@FleurPillager]

Jesus had a twin who knew nothing about sin......

[@effzee]

hahaha... the one who stole my bike was called TOM BRADY! I'm gonna see him next year and he's goona pay! anyway, SY kick assssssssssss!!!!!

[@greymullet]

Well InertiaFleur, I think that the Jagmaster didn't come out until '96. The Jazzmaster and the Jaguar did come out in the 60s, but the Jagmaster is the Squier hybrid of the two, and that didn't come out until 1996.

[@Carlyism]

2:30 was always the most correct moment in time.

[@armitagerx03]

Thank you

[@iscream22]

Good keep listening to the older grunge stuff seriously the majority of the stuff on MTV and the airwaves today is treacherous!

[@subsamadhi]

yeah seriously. Sonic Youth is arguably on of the most innovative rock bands in the past 20 years. They put rock into the future and have kept it there.

[@Maurobrit]

This Sunday in my country !!!!! 29 March 2009 Santiago de Chile !!!!!!!! :D

[@boknox]

I personally like the way this sounds here better than the album version. The end when the drumming picks up sounds a lot fuller.

[@soundofmusic94]

Happiness for you and your lady! Cheers from chile mate!

[@Shoreth]

Hasta me dieron ganas de llorar Que buenos son!!!

[@bmvkman]

from about 3:30 to 3:40 is one of the most epic things ive ever witnessed the way kim is playin that bass.

1991 The Year Punk Broke Was and Still My Favourite Pogo Dancing Party!!!See me in Crowd!! Punks Not Dead!!!😈😉😨

[@kachala]

its best video of Sonic Youth

[@weaselidiotu]

@Rapchaid i agree .. but few bands have this integrity and talent that sonic youth has. most forget about integrity along the way to the middle.

[@theghostonyourblock]

my favorite version of the song, SONIC

[@TheTrainRex]

@joeyhandsome I have an unhealthy obsession with that album. I can't stop playing it, it's so fucking amazing.

[@Ninja_Gaijin]

Sonic Youth . Too much love. Lee is the man.

[@d1mension7]

ditto. the first time i heard this performance the middle buildup part was hypnotizing

[@nadirzenit]

beautiful

[@kujoalt]

Wow. My new favorite SY song.

[@entropiavideos]

i saw radio and sonic, amazing! AMAZING!

[@DeathBySitar]

I got this VHS at a Value Village for a dollar. Best dollar I ever spent.

[@kalemarefrite]

everybody is allways talking about how great thurston and lee are ( wich they are :d) but almost nobody mentions the great skills of steve shelly, he's an amazing drummer, you should listen to it between 3.00 and 3:30 i realy love them:d

[@weaselidiotu]

i'm freakin out !! i love 1991 the year punk broke

[@nevrevr]

they didn't play it on Hurricane Festival 2007, man, i'm sad... I really had been looking forward to this song...

[@meylingzumarankong8501]

you are so far away from me now

[@meylingzumarankong8501]

and I don't have return

[@jhonnycagexrage7458]

My future is static

[@Biltospill]

@djdarkmonkey well i moved from LA in 2003 however one thing has remained consistent for all of time. Musicians follow the scene. In 1991 everyone wanted to be a part of the seattle scene... before that it was the LA and the whiskey GNR, and before that it was Boston with the pixies etc... Like it or not thats how it is. Its a collaboration and mood that drives creative spirit and to be a part of it is special even if your just watching it as a fan. KZbin is a good venue now. search

[@grungegoat6776]

I'm happy that this is one of my favourite songs I'm not a stupid kid who likes nicki minaj I'm a kid who has a sonic youth

[@Aniki82]

Grunge goat gj bro yes enjoy it xD year punk broke is so powerfull

[@owengameromg6210]

GrungeGoat me too broooo im a kid and this song isssss awesooommmeeeeee

[@PBCollects]

Hey man, everyone deserves music to enjoy if thats what people enjoy repsect them for enjoying it. They should in turn respect us for liking Sonic Youth.

[@OsvaldoPaese]

As much as i like the older stuff. I really feel they have gotten better as band. The last 3 albums were all really good. Their best work yet.

[@kreeepyy]

This show was kickass!

[@nevrevr]

I also think there are bands who play like sonic youth still today. don't wanna spam, but a band sounding a bit like Sonic Youth (but can never get to them, especially not beat "Schizophrenia") is Love of Diagrams, an Australian band I think

[@alphabetagandalf]

You know, Steve Shelley (the drummer) was one of the people who encouraged Cat Power to record music for the first time in her life.

[@emibug1996]

I LOVE SONIC YOUTH!!!!!! this and 100% were what got me into them.

[@steviel76]

djdarkmonkey sonic youth are still releasing outstanding albums,maybe not as good as their peak but thats a mighty fucking peak!

[@fjallman90]

thanks

[@sputnick21]

I LOVE THAT SONG!

[@greenkz1]

ohh i didnt know thats the name of the movie, thanks steffenla4

[@alterniemand73]

gonna miss them so much :-(

[@kozmikoblivion]

I think I finally understand why the album is called sister... whenever I listen to the album I feel at home or long for something that doesn't really exist.

[@kalemarefrite]

look at that crowd it must have been amazing to stand in the crow during that gig (dreaming and imagining:p)

[@danialsanchez672]

1:39 this part 🙏

[@arekipunk]

I should buy this Cd for my kids, they will thank me for ever good idea joeyhandsome

[@jack00008]

by "the year punk broke" they meant when the year punk broke into the mainstream. no punk album before 1990 or 1991 had gotten into the billboard Hot 100 or any other chart system before that. also, a lot of critics wouldn't review any sort of punk record released after 1977.

[@rovetu]

thanks for that...very useful
