In 98 a few of the bandmates came into Belgo in NYC and sat at the long wooden table right next to me and my friends. One of them had a baby I believe at that time. We were huge fans, but we let them have their peace without us being intrusive on their time. But literally we sat right next to them for the whole time we were there!

I saw them all eating salads in Pomona once. It was a solemn vibe.

One of the greatest bands ever

RIP Mary Hansen

It still makes me sad

She was the soul of SL

The Whisky show the host mentions was the first Stereolab gig I saw. October 28, 1993 Whisky a Go-Go. This was the song they opened with. Fan for life after that night. R.I.P. Mary Hansen.

One of the greatest hits on my radio show that lasted from 1993 to 2016. Quel souvenir!

So good

it doesnt get better than this - sublime

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

What a wonderful performance. It looks like some kind of high school event where some of the students have a band. It just looks so fun and real and together.
Because of what happened, I have never watched a youtube video of Stereolab (since I was a listener pre-youtube). I just didn't want to see all of them together but knowing what happened. But I'm very glad to have seen this.

30 years ago! If you were watching a 30 year old band in 1994 you'd be watching something from 1964!!

[@nathalieplum2137]

Damn you! 😆 I was born in 1966 and bought my first Stereolab record in 1993: pure early Gen-X. I have so many of them, in all formats, but my favorite is still that Jenny Ondioline 10" with French Disco (with a "c" not a "k", the original mix) on it.

Stereolab Rules🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonymcnamara4002]

The dancers that they had on The Word always danced like they'd never heard the song they were dancing to ever before.

[@discodave6153]

Fantastic breathless performance 👌🏻

[@blooflazh7]

This is the best quality ive seen of this

[@leonpfields9100]

Such a great performance by such a cool band. For all its faults The Word was a classic post-pub TV show with great music (not sure what the dancers are doing at 2:40 !)

Con esta canción descubrí a Stereolab
