Sonic Youth - Brother James (1991)

Sonic Youth playing Brother James on a European tour in 1991.

[@dnaeye]

Is there something wrong with me if this is my favorite song? This live version takes the studio one 10 levels up.

[@Exercise-01]

Yes this live version rocksss

[@pqleite]

yeah, and this video , was first time listened this, and is awesome

[@MrDpool1]

Yes and I also feel the same way about Schizophrenia. It wasn’t a finished song until the bass part changed so the harmonic solo is in a minor key.

[@russhutton8599]

Listening to Kim Gordon growl is my favorite way to start the day...

[@lilliewynn5401]

I'd marry Kim

[@SODOMITATEU]

One of the best live songs...One of the BEST FUCKIN' THINGS YOU WILL LISTEN TO IN YOUR LIFE!
"IT´S LIVE, MAN!!!"

[@Capmcook]

I think 'Sonic Youth' is one of the all time greatest names for a band ever. How appropriate for what they were doing at the time. Very rellivant

[@draft1643]

in college i threw a heavy piece of furniture out the window while listening to this song. my advice is protect or hide any valuable items or people before you play this

[@isaacgarcia4846]

God damn, I get the chills every time I watch this. Sonic Life!

[@ericbuzzard2041]

Screaming fields of sonic love, dude.

[@stateyourrights]

it sounds like they raped the studio version with so much energy. Definatly the best version of brother james

[@NESman-dm3wd]

They gave Kill Yr Idols the same treatment

[@jmckenzie962]

I wish they re-recorded this song with Steve Shelley at some point. After he joined the song became so much better it's not funny.

[@jessica_jam4386]

This warms my heart🤟🏼

[@CatastrophicG]

Still hair raising craziness this song! Fantastic! Guess it was their best time, 1991.

[@ndarcy]

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this. It's been years since I last saw it.

[@scottpastry]

from the 1991 the year that punk broke tour...SY were supported by nirvana, Dino Jr.. also played festivals with the ramones, frank black, babes in toyland

[@radiomindchatter7994]
