I saw Sonic Youth at First Avenue, back before they had the barrier before the stage. If you were in the pit, you as close as you could get without actually being on stage. I had a Sonic Youth t-shirt with "Kim Gordon's Love Slave" printed on the back. She noticed it during 'Cool Thing' and pointed at me! Great times!
I don't like every Sonic Youth song but I'm always excited to hear one I've not heard before because you never know what they'll do. Without bands like Sonic Youth rock music would be so dull
I remember seeing an interview with Kim once and she said most people in a band want to be rockers, but they don't want to rock. Sonic Youth really rocked.
Kurt Pattyn : Me too. For years I tried to start a band project that combined my love of Sonic Youth and my love of Betty Page. It was to be called Sonic Betty. But I couldn't get anyone interested.
Kim, you are the sexiest woman I ever did know since I was a kid. I don’t mean to say it like I’m a creep, but seriously since I was in my teens in the late 80’s you are the punk rock goddess that never gets out of touch. Seriously, you are one of a kind, 😍
Yeah thank god they didn't make that mistake again. It would be so boring hearing everyone play the same note at the same time, over and over, for ever and ever.
um. OK. I'm 59 years old. Stay with me on this before you flame at me (is that the correct term for angry internet responses?). Never heard of Sonic Youth. Stumbled on this video and of course saw Kim and of course wanted to check it out. This horrified me, except of course watching Kim perform. My first thought was it was a totally adlibbed performance to check the sound. Of maybe non of these people had actually met before. Then Kim started to scream at me. Singing I suppose. WTH is all this? And why all the people there to see this? They most know something I am missing. So I watched it again. Then again. I started to get it. I could hear how they were bringing it all together. Now I am searching out more Sonic songs. Final analysis, not for me, but excellent!!
@Peter Stransky, Google "no wave", New York, early, mid-1980s, Brian Eno. Follow how (some of) those bands have evolved from complete "deconstruction of music" to sophisticated innovative sounds, like DNA -> Ambitious Lovers -> Arto Lindsay. Sonic Youth sculpted their noise into more traditional song structures. Try "Shadow Of A Doubt" on their best album Evol. Or Tunic (Song For Karen)
To me art is an expression of one's feelings of life and the world around them. Sometimes those things can be ugly, but that doesn't make the art any less valid.
Come on, get in the car Let's go for a ride somewhere I won't hurt you As much as you hurt me Let me take you there Before the sun goes down Come on, give me your love Come on, baby, all you have I wanna take your breath away Come on, baby "Just like that," you say You make me feel so crazy Come on, get in the car Let's go for a drive somewhere I won't hurt you You make me feel so crazy Come on, get in the car Let's go for a ride somewhere I won't hurt you As much as you've hurt me Let me take you there Before the sun goes down Come on, give me your love Come on, baby, all you have I wanna take your breath away Come on, baby "Just like that," you say You make me feel so crazy Come on, get in the car Let's go for a ride somewhere You make me feel so good You make me feel so crazy
It’s totally overlooked - how much music from this era of “ugly rock” did so much for the leveling of the social playing field between men and women. This song and performance made me feel seen. Every woman should be free to express the disgust we feel from being objectified.... And men should support us in it. Long live Sonic Youth!
The crowd are nailed to the floor... Nobody is even nodding their head! And the moment she started puffing into that trumpet I’d have headed straight to the bar 😂
Nominated for best trumpeter is Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespy, Miles Davis, Kim Gordon. The envelope please. . . . . . . . And the winner is . . . . . . . . . Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth!
The funny thing about this band is, when they aren't trying so hard to be "alternative" and just make a song, their songs are brilliant. 80% of it is total trash though sadly. They could have been super stars.

joe curtin You’re so hip and cool with your knowledge of underground music *gag*
nothing wrong with a live experience, even if its all the time
@joe curtin - That Theoretical Girls track is nice. Very clean & precise with a rock n' roll/new-wave feel.
:-)
@@thundertowerare you fn serious? GTFO with that negativity.

Amazing performance...one of the most influential rock bands I've come across during my musical upbringing 👌
One. Of the best songs on the album no doubt and thats saying something
What a beautiful noise. 🎸
Sonic’s drummer is some kind of beautiful beast.
The middle guitar solo piece is just as beautiful as Stairway to Heaven's.. if not more...
How I love this band and their music
Kurt Pattyn : Me too. For years I tried to start a band project that combined my love of Sonic Youth and my love of Betty Page. It was to be called Sonic Betty. But I couldn't get anyone interested.
Brilliant version of this ol' classic! Visceral, exhilirating..
whatever
Crappy.

More proof that you're young as you feel.
Thats .. sonic youth my idol kim..and rest of the band.. audience are stock to hear there music... deeply technical sounds in music scene.. RocxX !!
Fantastic, brilliant live rendition. Thanks for loading this!
That one time when Kim accidentally played the same note as Lee.
funny but def not an accident
Yeah thank god they didn't make that mistake again. It would be so boring hearing everyone play the same note at the same time, over and over, for ever and ever.
Good version.
Always nice to hear an update. The trumpet really suits it.
:-)
Kim is so great in this song. I love when she dances
This song live is incredible. Kim Gordon is raw
Lady Lou Reed.
Would you rather her in cooked form?
One of my favs bands since 1985
Kim you have a masterpiece there's no need for the trumpet,it's already perfect!!!
that was a beautiful rendition of an epic tune
I've never seen anyone who could do as much dope as her and step over the corpses she's left behind
Legendary NYC post punk noise band playing a song about the happy California vibe..they almost get a little groovy thing going in there
I love this woman
miss the band..great performance and vid

Is pavement bizarro world Sonic youth? Lol
Kim's iconic voice
That time Sonic Youth invented Yeah Yeah Yeahs...............

Wonderful version
Not sure if intro or sound check..
It's an intro.
Masters of bombastic feed back
Both?
Wookie Hugs both indeed

I love their old shit,that's it.
I love you Golden Blue has turned into my all time fav. Give it a listen
Kim on the Trumpet is the coolest shit SY ever did! I Love it.
Great live footage!
Intro is electrifying good shit sensory wise.F-ing powerful!The whole piece.Classical music is fantastic, but it can’t do this .Presence is awesome
Have you seen a doctor about that?
You’d be surprised what Western Art Music can accomplish
Your junior high school called, they want their pimples back.
amazing
Hellz Yeah!!! Kinda reminds me of Toiling Midgets...❤️
i see everyone has eaten their ready-break and got there glow on
Oh wow - I've been kinda down on their later stuff but 4 minutes in Wowwwwwwww

Awesome. It's like Curved air on acid ....
I saw them at NYC 94 Lollapooluza
GREAT
Has Kim ever looked so drop-dead gorgeous? Those legs........💋💋💋💋
Jesus I know
Thurston's an idiot for giving her up.
@@toddst.george6511 ahh, she left him, Mature women do get tired of boys.

52 is the new 32
LINDOOOO!!!!!!!
High stage and large barricade. might as well watch on TV or in this case, Ytube.
Needs more feedback

What's up with the Vaseline filter on the camera?
