Thurston Moore Lee Ranaldo & Steve Shelley The Stone NYC USA 6th December 2024 (1)

[@mico5003]

Either just an one time event or rebirth of Sonic Youth, thank you! That is f-ing beautiful! You have no idea how much you mean to me growing up. And what a privilege to seen you live in 90`s. Hope to see more of it.

[@Hodad3000]

Sonic Seniors. Very nice transition.

[@holadonkey]

Sonic Seniors or Sonic Boomers. these seniors are avantgarde experimental artists. very cool indeed.

[@LuisRicardo1981]

For those unfamiliar with Sonic Youth: this is basically an Unplugged

[@arturotranquilino9768]

There's a special place for you in heaven, my friend❤. Thanks so so so much. I saw them back in 2004 and it changed my life. To see them playing together again in 2024 is a blessing.

[@ronehill]

Thanks for posting this... I was lucky enough to see Thurston and Steve last week!

[@Tandle779]

Jesus the haters. Mind you there’s 3 other people who contributed to the band. Their personal relationship isn’t our life. But you will never have sy without Kim.

Please come back Mark Ibold. They’re better without trap beats grandma singing out of tune and fumbling simple basslines.

Is that a ZOOM recorder handling all the live sound in this video??

[@regismonkton]

During the times in my life when I listen to music, Sonic Youth is my favorite musical artist. Sonic Youth's main era was 1983-1994, with 1986-1988 being their peak, and their album Daydream Nation being their magnum opus. Their album Washing Machine was the beginning of the end for them. They've gone through a gradual decline starting in about 1995, and their music has become more and more uninspired since then. Bob Dylan went through something like that himself after his main era. This performance reminds me of those SYR albums, and I didn't like their SYR albums. Even though I don't enjoy what they're doing in this performance, I still prefer it over most of the music that's been made in the past 20 years or so. Either way, though: Art is dead, and it's been dead for about 20 years now. I'm glad I replaced art enthusiasm with self-education, beneficial gardening, exercising, and other good hobbies/interests.

I was the guy yelling “play Kool Thing!” The entire night

[@daniele.82]

I miss Kim ❤️

[@autumnautist]

just call it SLT and make a record.

[@kley7043]

M.R.S. would be funnier and more fitting, no?

[@kicksex]

God I hope they form a new band. Mad respect for Kim but I wanna see Steve, Lee and Thurston in a band. If Kim wants to join back, that would be awesome but I don’t think she’s interested. Mark Ibold or Jim o Rourke would be nice but let’s be honest, they don’t HAVE to have a bassist…..

Amazing.

[@djpanther9621]

Reminds me of The Necks

[@anthonysmith2982]

... exactly my thoughts

[@TheCuriousGuide-nv2lm]

Please guys, keep going on on a brand new project, the 3 of you plus, maybe Mark Ibold or Rourke or other playing bass. You have so much music to create as a band yet. You don't need to call yourselves SY, you don't even need to play SY tunes live. But, please, make new songs and records together. Pleeeeaaaassse ....

[@DeusSubmisso]

❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤

[@charliehayes5537]

Glorious

[@mikerophone235]

The way SY ended wasn't good, but they're all healthy and still playing and that's the important thing. Can we move on?

Hope so. That’s been over a decade ago now

I feel embarrassed to say this used to be my favorite band Getting together without Kim is just tacky

[@jeremymenson]

It’s not like they’re calling themselves Sonic Youth. Three people who have known and played music together for forty years can’t get together and jam?

[@LongshotLynx]

Honestly, Kim isn’t very in tune these days. I’ve got insight into two of the guys her wan show they think. This is an example of nostalgia minus social context. By social context I mean they do what slot musicians I’ve booked and promoted do, they downplay and excuse moral and ideologies because they believe what they contributed or have to contrive is more important as music/art than making social statements if it compromises friendship. Sad.

[@PeepingTime]

They invented their tricks

[@acooper8910]

@@PeepingTime SY have always been one of my favourite bands. I did however find their last few albums boring as they seemed to have dead-ended into repetition... either that or they were getting lazy. My initial comment reflected my view that KG was an often overlooked vital element who, arguably, was the real artist in the band & that she has subsequently proven her ability to move forwards.

[@36chamberz]

Yeah how dare these amazing 70 year olds who have entertained us for decades not play new music

[@AppleOno]

Are you sure we're talking about the same band? Rather Ripped and The Eternal are great. Sonic Youth has always been a band that is greater than the sum of its parts, where each member brought their own distinct personality. Without Kim there is no Sonic Youth, but they're all artists.

[@doctorskull8197]

Very boring.

[@Braunld]

nice effort. i imagine that your keystrokes registered similar notes of dynamic sensitivity, fluidity / finesse, and a capacity for allowing the sounds to breathe. do you have any more nuggets of observational wisdom? are you a fan of sonic youth?

[@yonicsoothe]

stop talking about your life.

[@purplestuff]

Agreed. This is just some old rock stars sniffing their own farts.

[@Braunld]

@@purplestuff and what a nice document (great recording) of that this is. as if they've set some sort of precedent. "this just in: beloved, area art rock fixtures assemble one last time to perform together. ps. they're old. they could even be well past their prime!" some of us _like_ the smell of their farts. in fact, a fair portion of this smells downright lovely, esp. for an improvised set. audible scratch 'n sniff. should we tell them to stop playing? there's no shortage of exciting content on YT ... different strokes, etc. isn't it wonderful? move on! ... there's nothing to see here.

[@kicksex]

It’s not for everyone. Go watch something else. We love it

[@pathare777]

there’s no filming at the stone man, should take this down asap cause jz pissed per friend at new school.

[@kicksex]

That’s a dumb rule. If that’s what they wanna do then they should take everyone’s phones at the door like some stand up comedians and Tool do…

[@marcususa]

Sorry, but it's not the same as the Sonic Youth days. Give us some more of that Silver Rocket and Teen Age Riot please.

[@zenfeedbacker]

Yeah, it’s not the same. It’s not SY. So why do you want them to play old tunes we’ve all heard before? Let people EVOLve!

[@rabidgoon]

the stone is an experimental music space. this is an appropriate jam for that space.

[@marcususa]

​@@zenfeedbackerI was referring to the direction, not requesting a jukebox play the exact same thing. I would like to hear something similar to those two songs, not necessarily those songs specifically.

[@kicksex]

Calm down it’s just a random jam session for fun. Y’all are taking this way too seriously

[@marcususa]

@@kicksex Or we are calmly asking for a different style, one more reminiscent of the Sonic Youth years. We don't have to be all hot and bothered in a tizzy asking for this do we? Because I am not, I chilling with KZbin.

kim was the weakest link anyway. reunite with mark ibold on bass.
