I met him twice. Very down to earth humble guy. The first time at a Battles/Gang Gang Dance gig in Central Park 2008. I asked him about the guys in the band and he said everyone was fine, that Stephen was doing so well he didn't need them. Quote. I told him I had seen Malkmus live two years before and he told me he had been at the same gig. Well, I would get to see Pavement reunited at that same location, Central Park Summerstage two years later in 2010. Before then, summer 2009, I went w a friend to the SoHo Apple Store to see Sonic Youth play there on their very last tour I believe. After the short gig I walked into the subway heading uptown and there was Ibold w his bass bag on the train! I told him I was at the gig and he asked if I had liked it. We spoke about how it was recording The Eternal album and before I knew, it was exactly one stop we got on at Spring he got off on Bleecker, he said he had to get off and go "work". Later I found out that by work he referred to him being bartender at the Washington Square bar Great Jones Cafe. I went a few times to GJC and never saw him there.
Nastanovich's energy always cracks me up. It's like he's a kid with a rare progressive aging disorder that the band welcomed onstage at the request of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
This is probably one on the finest recordings of this era of Pavement, both in terms of physical quality and just their meshing as a band. I’ve gotten accustomed to seeing vhs rips, this is spoiling us. That 120 minutes font brings backs a lot of memories.
I've been looking for this set for over 20 years. I remember watching this as junior in high school late on a Sunday night. Amazing. Now if I can only find the board mix from General Public's appearance in the 1985 film, "Head Office."
Saw them on tour around this time and he was on that side. Probably saw them 10 times after that and he had moved to the other side. It’s a small detail but I’ve always been curious about that.
Darn, only a quarter of a century later and already this looks like something from a different age. The world is changing so fast, now. What a terrible terrible shame; this is beautiful.
Yeah, blame technology and the push for constant trend changes from big companies to keep people buying more stuff (and their helpers in big cities obsessed with being cooler than everyone else, constantly changing their styles and interests). It's far easier to make and share music from a laptop or even tablet now so we've seen a massive shift towards digital based music. I hope there's a backlash but forming a band takes a lot of effort, I just can't see most young people thinking it's worth it when they can potentially become big with far less effort via software.
That was *awesome* to see. If ever there was a band suited to watching multiple takes of their songs it's Pavement, because they never really played a song exactly the same way twice.
Geoff Morrison They most certainly are stoned out of their minds. This is 1994. This performance and the Tonight Show w Jay Leno one are notorious and there's interviews on the Perfect Sound Forever book and the Slow Century documentary where Malkmus mentions them being very stoned and not taking it all very seriously.
Geoff Morrison Btw, Queen fucking sucks. If you like Broadway show tunes musical theater productions with your rock, have at it but they are beyond overrated.
i feel like once you’ve discovered many types of music, you tend to settle down with badass punk with a monotone voice that turns into yelling rather than hendrix or rush...
I like that they didn't lose the clicker to their garage There should be a music award called the *'GENIE'* - A GOLDEN GENIE BRAND GARAGE DOOR OPENER mounted on a block of Celotex ( brown pulp celotex for 'Classic', and hard foam with silver Mylar for 'modern'). Genie garage door opener remotes were/are instantly recognizable with their oblong diamond shaped button...
Such good quality audio! Any way for me to download it? I'm always surprised at how low Spiral's guitar's mixed in live footage from the 90s...I know Malkmus was the main guitar man in recordings but Spiral's got a great style!
@@frankpeter6851 Well, any Orthodox Christian who takes their faith seriously and holistically will be inherently very conservative, and since President Trump has governed conservatively in general, support for him is predictable. Here in Texas, in my church’s network, we have immigrants from mostly the Middle East, mixed with Texans, and other Americans, and very few of any age is anything but very conservative. It just doesn’t jive with our ancient faith.
@@sealevelbear Well every member of this band and the vast majority of their fans would say that subscribing to that faith and its accompanying ideology would not jibe with being a fan of pavement. Fuck Christian fascism.
pavement was the most effortlessly cool band of the 90s. if anyone disagrees, please link me to who you think surpasses them so i can check em out haha
It’s a TV production thing - get multiple takes so if you end up with, hypothetically, three and a half messy takes of a song that is already pretty slack-y to begin with, as long as you’ve got good audio from just one of the takes then in theory you’d have three and a half times as much footage to pull from to put together an edit suitable for broadcast. Theoretically.
It is exactly as out as it is on the album. Drop d tuned , with my guess , really light strings, def didn’t tune his E down with a tuner, did it by ear for sure. Thanks for pointing it out though. It made me pay attention to what they’re pretty much doing with each guitar, and holy hell , IDLES were not lying when they said their biggest guitar influence is Pavement.
Wrong I hate them. Nothing original about them. Poor quality plagiarists, trying to sound like a cross between Wire and the mighty Fall and Lou Reed - just why bother? Why drink decaf when you can have the real thing? God it's depressing
Jay Suschrist why because they weren't musically tight in several sections? I think it's interesting for a band to fall off the horse every now and then. It's humorous, it's interesting how they get pulled around by eachother, how they react. That's just the errors, certain parts were great. The guitarist on the left (stage right) was generally awesome.
ghostly606 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the nostalgia but you have to admit, the singing/talking is out of key, the musicianship is pedestrian and sloppy the lyrics are nonsensical...I mean, I thought they were über cool when I was 14 and I can understand why I did, now that I’m 39, but I’ve done a lot of listening in the intervening years and I’ve learned that there’s a lot more to music than that.

Ibold is one of the luckiest musicians alive. He gets to play in Pavement AND sonic youth! What a resume'!

Stephen seems to be enjoying changing the odd lyric here and there.

Seeing this video easily justify (to myself, at least) why Pavement is one of your favorite bands : They take to hearth their fun.
no one serves coffee, no one wakes up
Even stoned out of their melons they're amazing! Just the right balance of slop and genius.
They're not stoned and they're anything but sloppy.

0:29 made me think my phone just went off.

Stop Breathin
Song by Pavement
Lyrics
Got struck by the first volley
Of the war in the corps
Never held my service
Send 'em a wire, give 'em my best
This ammunition never rests
No one serves coffee, no one wakes up
Stop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me
Dad they broke me
Stop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me
Dad they broke me
I can see the lines open shutters
And the leaves flocked on a grid
That's what they made my hero say
But nothin' gets me off so completely
Then when you put it down
Ten feet down in the ground
Call and response, negative home
Stop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me
Dad they broke me
Stop breathin', stop breathin'
Breathin' for me now
Write it on a postcard
Dad they broke me

I think Stephen sang "face right down to the practice poo". Either that, or "practice mood"?
Did they ever do a recording session here when Gary Young was still with them?
No. When Pavement made CRCR and the Cut video that got them in rotation on MTV, Gary had been long go e.
nothing says FU more than 2 strats at the same time
I was a little disappointed with the guitar solo on take 1, but he nailed it on #2!

Why do they have to do multiple takes again?
It’s a TV production thing - get multiple takes so if you end up with, hypothetically, three and a half messy takes of a song that is already pretty slack-y to begin with, as long as you’ve got good audio from just one of the takes then in theory you’d have three and a half times as much footage to pull from to put together an edit suitable for broadcast. Theoretically.
it's good practice anyways
Hi Dubin
Hi Steve!
