    I love how someone walks by at 1:24 Imagine walking by a doorwindow and seeing sonic youth playing the sprawl haha

    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.

    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

      Sonic Youth has this perfect set from the basement and Radiohead has a perfect set from the basement.
      Maybe the damp air of the basement produces perfect sound quality?

    At 6:10 when the guitars completely break from each other I feel like I’m in a trance, and Mark Ibold’s and Thurston’s facial expressions during it tell me that they are completely enveloped in their song and I love it
