The fact that this is from 1988 still is mind boggling. They were so far ahead of the curve.

Seriously. Imagine hearing all of the hair metal and synth pop of the time and then hearing this, so far ahead of its time.

They were never ahead of or behind the curve: they existed completely outside of it. There’s no one like them

This performance is magical and timeless, completely free from all worldly feelings and ego, it surely looks like it. I'm rediscovering them after years of not listening to them and after everything I've been through these years the music is sounding much more meaningful and powerful I can't even explain it and the term Daydream Nation makes so much sense. All love
