I recorded this on my directv and invited my mom to watch it with me, she is not very fond of my music taste but we hadn't shared a moment in a while so she said yes. She resembles Kim Gordon at a certain degree and as the concert's intensity started to grow I was worried she was going to leave me alone watching it so, I turned back to catch a glance at her and she was absolutely astonished by Kim's stage presence. I made no comment whatsoever and just continued to watch the show in silence and let the music play louder and louder. By the end of it all she said was: "I never thought women in dresses and high heels could rock the fuck out in between men!". I just laughed and hugged her. This is what I mean when I say that, music, regardless the genre, is one global and universal language that connects people. Sorry if my english redaction is not very sharp, just wanted to comment and share this.

I have discovered Sonic Youth late in life...the Wonderfull thing about music is that it lives on, waiting to be discovered. Bloody brilliant.

I have been an SY fan since I first discovered Daydream Nation in 1989. I have been a huge fan since then. The only live footage of SY I have seen was in The Year That Punk Broke. I have to say I would never have, in a million years, thought they could pull off these songs so true and back to back. I knew there was a reason I have loved these guys so much.

I love Murray Street era SY. LOVE!

Jim O'Rourke!

I met Thurston a couple of days ago. Cool guy.

Thank you Sonic youth.Your Music is the closest we will ever come to Magic.I always feel you are one note away from transcending space and time..........

0:49 Rain on tin 9:32 The Empty Page 14:03 Karen Revisited 23:35 Plastic Sun 26:16 Mariah C... 30:43 Sympathy for the Strawberry

Saw them 3 times on this tour. Several times after that too, but this tour seemed to me like the last time they looked like they were having fun.

I saw SY a few weeks after this co-headlining with Wilco in Cleveland. One of my favorite shows ever.

Murray Street is my favorite SY album. So great to see this!

The Jim O'Rourke era shows were the best; if you have not bothered with his music yet, it's some desert island material.

Sorely missed- they gave us their all!

I love Murray Street. One of my favourites.

Love SY…swear every riff is sooo nostalgic 😭

Thanks for posting!

Came here after watching Thurston’s band performance. I can’t comment on bass as unfortunately I don’t hear much of the bass lines played by Deb, but Lee’s guitar is definitely so much more pleasing to hear than James Sedwards’ one.

Seen SY with STP and Nirvana at a very small club in Las Vegas called Calamity Janes 1990 . Scott and Kurt worship SY at that time and honestly always did

Wow. These are some great versions of Murray Street songs. 🤘👏

Thank you .

Always cool music from them, love this band.

The Best band l love sonic youth

I watched half this concert when it aired (From Karen Revisited on). My TV didn't have good PBS reception, but I managed to fix it and enjoyed the rest of the set.

Ah, the 2000's. When every stage director thought it would be cool to install a backdrop of home-sized LCD screens.

Cuando muera que pongan sonic youth a todo volumen en mi funeral!!!!

As a 30-year long guitar player, I think I have lost about fifteen years of experience after watching this. I don't know how I made it through. I should have stopped after the first 30 seconds.🎉

Miss U!

That's amazing how close they got Karen Revisited (Karenology) to sound to the real thing... I've never heard them play it live before.

Steve is awesome

Great band.

This is great (especially the Mariah Carey inclusion) but the volume is sooo low..

I love Sonic Youth.

Jim O’Rourke (Chicago, Illinois; 18 de enero de 1969) es un músico, compositor y productor estadounidense, asociado por largo tiempo a la escena experimental de su ciudad natal. 55 AÑOS.

The first Sonic Youth song I heard was Schizophrenia. I liked it. The first song I fell in love with was Candle. I have since been a Sonic Youth fan. Murray St. Is one of my favorite albums. I named my daughter Thurston, after Thurston Moore

I love SY and their long and varied discography, but I would prefer to hear them play live. They approached the same song in a different way each time they played it and this was positive and allowed them to maintain creativity and improvisation. They are and will continue to be my favorite band until the end of my days. The experimental approach they took with guitars is only comparable to Jimi Hendrix... in another universe perhaps they would have met and collaborated, but Hendrix left too soon.

Wish someone would upload the other part of this tv taping with Wilco.

I don't have many "wants" in my life, and I like it like that. However, that being said, I wouldn't mind Lee's semi-hollow(?) Jazzmaster(?) with a pickup behind the bridge that he plays on "Karenology."

THURSTON JOSEPH MOORE KIM ALTHEA GORDON LEE M RANALDO STEVE JAY SHELLEY

I remember seeing them on SNL or Letterman. it was an amazing song. they used a hand saw at one point bending it and hitting it with a hammer. anyone else remember this? help me find a video!

cool

Never heard any of these songs before. I missed an album or two

I miss her

kim finde ich mega cool, sie ist eine top basistin. ok wir sind da.

What would Glenn branca and the grateful dead sound like if they worked together?

Does anyone have the set list?

So what exactly is the story of the song, "Mariah Carey and Author Doyle's hand cream"? Where did they get the name from?

sounds like music to me. some people are just stuck up pricks. can't please everyone.

anybody know why thurston only puts his strap on at the last moment there?

If oasis reform before sonic youth I have given up on music

if thats the black jm that got stolen then rip real pretty guitar

das ist für allen, er war leise nicht so wie wir sy, wir haben die kollegen am schiff abgenommen, kpmg bleibt leise.du bleibst eine tolle frau.

Ha, the one time you see someone in Sonic Youth playing a Strat, and if you look close it has a Jazzmaster neck on it. They always seemed to dress nicer and play nicer guitars on PBS compared to other live performances and TV appearances, Austin City Limits was the same.

There's a secret song @ 42:00, guys .. Like totally secret

I missed this band! 😢 Why did Thurston had to cheat on Kim

It does not sound shitty, you obviously have bad taste in music.

why is the sound so lousy?

Were they ever going to change their name to "Sonic Adults?" Sonic Middle-Aged Persons?

Why do they always seem to go for crappy setlists .. I'm serious ...

This band SUCKS

This is so bad, I bet guitar manufacturers pay them not to use their instruments. Gawd Awful! They must've all been angry at their music & choir teachers. Drumming's not bad though.
