Sonic Youth - Live at Campo Pequeno Lisboa 1993 

Pay attention new musicians. This is where a lot of us come back to because these guys and gal were the real deal. They knew good music and pushed it so far, whether it be tunings, pedals, sounds and structure. Sy forever.

I wish someone would have told me about this show when i was 1 years old.. Would have totally gone. Huge musical inspiration for me thank you for your music

This was a great concert (I was there). SY were a great band (like Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Iggy Pop and some other performers) that tested the limits of rock 'n' roll to its extremes! SY's control of dissonance is phenomenal...Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo complement each other so well..

Love their Goo/Dirty years, so glad we finally get semi-official releases of shows from those years. Apparently they have a shit ton of show recording from their whole career so thank God we finally get some of em.

Sonic Youth using Peavey 5150 EVH letter block and Mesa Boogie Mark (not sure what version) amps!!!! The most metal noise rock band ever! \m/

One of the greatest bands ever in their prime. Superb playing and concert footage.

That Cotton Crown opener absolutely SLAAAAYS

coolest band in the world....

Steve Shelley -so underrated

Bull in the heather´s lyrics were not ready in the time this video was shot! I so enjoy art under construction...

It was an amazing day. I was 19 at the time. No mobile phones yet, no internet. I, Gilberto and his guitarist friend (Agostinho) of a local band (Popeye Pos Moderno?) from a village next to ours (S. João do Campo), we came down from Coimbra in an early morning train to get tickets to everybody, including my brothers-in-law who would drive to Lisbon later in the day, just in time for the concert, and would give us a lift back north at the end of it. We met some Agostinho's friends (the sister of the vocalist of his band and her boyfriend?) who attended EBAL (Lisbon School of Fine Arts) at the time. I remember we had lunch at EBAL and that in the afternoon we spent a lot of time in the said boyfriend's room nearby. He was also a guitarist and had a very nice (Boss?) pedal board which he had gotten some months before in the USA. He had no amp though, so he showed us how it worked and the effects it had with headphones which we experimented in turns. Agostinho played a while also. Bottles of beer were being drank and joints of weed were being smoked. I got high from the beer and from breathing the enriched air in the small room. At some point a meeting was arranged with some dealer from the south side who would get acid to some of us. We walked down to Cais do Sodré and relaxed there for a while waiting for the dealer's boat to arrive. We then walked back up to Bairro Alto, I'm not sure where to exactly, nor what we did. Maybe we ate something at EBAL? At some point we noticed we had lost track of time and that if we were to get to Campo Pequeno in time for the concert we had to call a taxi, which we did. Still, we arrived late. My brothers-in-law were already there waiting for us. We missed most of the opening bands but got in in time to see everything of SY's performance that night. The video now released made me remember how I felt lucky for seeing them perform live a mix of songs that we all knew so well and many new great ones that would later come out in Experimental jet set. I saw SY live 3 more times. In 98 at Sudoeste, together with Yo La Tengo, in 99 at Aula Magna and in 2010 at Coliseu de Lisboa.

the fact that they were all in their mid 30s at least by this point and still looked like teenagers.... wow

this film/concert is AMAZING!

Greatest year in my life for rock concerts. I was in this one and one month before I had been in London for the Velvet Underground reunion........those were the days.....

Thank you Steve and Thurston for your feedback during the stream

Whoever filmed this is genius. It looks amazing - the zooms are so rad

I was there. Time flies, memories don't. One of the best gigs of my sad, sad life 😁😁😁

Complete guitar abuse. Never to be repeated.. feckin amazing.

I miss the 90's when we talk about music. I don't miss all the tobacco smoking inside.

you guys are incredible and a total inspiration🧚🏻‍♀️

I saw Sonic Youth on a FreeJazzFestival, here in Brasil, Sean Lennon have been outshined by Sonic Youth, one of the best sonic experience live, Gigantic music influence to me. Greetings from Brasil, Peace, Love & health to all.

Sozinho, dinheiro contadinho, de comboio, lá fui.. Épico!

Damn... I was 3 years old i could have gone

The lyrics for bull in the heather! Kim

Shout out from Brazil!

I'm glad they widdled that part down in Bull in the Heather. My favorite band in their prime. I love it! Saw them 3 times.

ten, twenty, thirty, fourty. ;) lyrics evolved. Awesome to hear this version!

I love you Sonic Youth

Lovely show, beautiful music, great performance. Give it up for Moore, Shelley, Gordon, Ranaldo, Toral, Pinheiro, Feliciano!! 1993!!

saw them in 1990 with redd kross opening at a very small venue called the great hall in toronto. my friend had a recording studio right above the hall they where they were playing and discovered a hole in the floor. so we dropped a mic down and recorded the show. didn't come out well as the accoustics weren't good. the show would later be stopped by the fire dept as they claimed the room was over capacity. very fun night. was actually down the hall from their dressing room but didn't bother the guys.

32:40 wow that part sounds really good in this version

Pure noise beautiful..................

Amazing stage light work

Thanks for uploading this!! This pre Experimental Jet Set is just pure gold. I'm stunned.

Awesome sound and visuals - especially for just one camera!

this band is beyond amazing

Nice, a bunch of song from Experimental jet-set... The sound is also quite good, kudos to the mixer/recorder.

Ultra fan depuis toujours ❤

i was there and have a perfect live cd authorized by the band not the publisher, it was when kim deal was preagnant and already some songs of the next lp were played ,like bull in the heather ,the first video of the forthcoming LP, but only a couple of years later, experimental jet set, trash and no star, um gajo tá habituado a escrevinhar em ingalês só depois reparei na parvoíce que estava a fazer, quem não tem este cd ao vivo com um som melhor que muitos albums ao vivo da EMI portuguesa

Unforgettable concert! Thank you, guys, for sharing this.

Cuando tocó en buenos aires la ultima ves quedamos re manija, no creo que vuelvan a tocar acá (ojalá que si) pero fué un show que no me lo voy a olvidar nunca más

Finalmente disponível video ao fim de 27 anos...um dos melhores concertos que vi...eu e a trupe de Campo de Ourique..em peso nas bancadas lá em cima..éramos tão novinhos 😁😁😁

You guys know you signed-up for sonic youth. You love this it! I love it.

Super early versions of Experimental Jet Set trash and no star songs! You can tell which ones they had been working on longer. It’s interesting to see how Thurston played Bull in the Heather vs how he played it later.

The name Sonic Youth describes everythings..........one of my the best band.

"Sonic Youth is playing next..." ❤️

Uma das minhas melhores experiências, há 31 anos, uff😅 eargasm...

Love playing their songs on bass

Whole production (camera work, superb) is immense, wish I could engineer for them, and play along. UK classic breaks n 56:48 electronic music and uk indie bands. Loved Sonic Youth them for 24 years. Great story tellers. Never see them perform unfortunatelyl. The message for me through the shifting consciousnesses of the darkness and all the heartaches, headaches, fear, betrayal, and confusion. Sonic youth -sister album

I was there, it was an amazing concert

I was there , fuckin insane !!! And that Lulu Blind t-shirt 😂😂

🇵🇹💚 Sonic Youth Thanks for this amazing share. Priceless.

Grande som!! Grande concerto... muito obrigado

I was there, I think Lulu Blind opened for them, amazing concert :)

Incredible as always! Tons of love for SY. 🖤

I've never seen this footage, what a pearl, thanks a lot for sharing this with us!

Ooof all the cuts from Sister are fantastic in this set!

22 anni fa è nato mio figlio mattia..dalla sala parto ( ho assistito alla nascita) poi,sono andato alla fiera campionaria di cagliari,ho saltato il muro alto ,mi hanno rincorso i cani..quella sera ho visto mio figlio nascere e suonare i sonic youth Grandiiiiiiiii

Um grande obrigado ao Zé F. Pinheiro , João Paulo Feliciano e Rafael Toral 🖤 🖤 🖤

I used to live two blocks away from Campo Pequeno. Never knew SY played there, it must have looked pretty different back then.

Amos vcs from Brasil

Yeah seriously someone give the camera guy a raise

Obrigada! Eu fui ver,eu tenho o CD! Thanks for sharing this amazing performance ♥️ greetings from Portugal 💪💪💪💪💪

Saw them the year before this with support from babes in toyland. My ears were ringing for days afterwards

I was there!! Uma coisa do outro mundo!!!

MERCI

Who would dislike thos Beautiful Performance??

You inspired my musical journey

Obrigado!!! I was there too!

Amazing I'm only up to about a quarter of the way I would suggest anybody that's likes sonic youth should watch this. lee's guitar is spot on and there is enough improv to make me want to compare them to the Dead. They are the grateful dead of punk music.

Ce concert est tellement excellent, et la vidéo l'est tout autant ! Quel kiff ! Quel talent ! SY à leur top.

Tales From Topographic Oceans is my favorite Sonic Youth album

Saw them open for REM back in the day. Kim Gordon rules 🤘🏼

I think I may have been at this. For sure I was living in Lisboa and having a fine time..

Ganda concerto. Estive lá.

You dont get timing like this mixed with pure genius

Damn, they were so RAW at Bourgueois and Pacific in the vocals

Best band ever ✊🏻

Muito bom!! Banda em plena forma. Fodástico

Estive lá! Foi Genial! Não percam!

62-year-old Thurston Moors rose to fame in the 1980s, when he was best known for being a member of Sonic Youth. In addition, he was involved in numerous solo and group projects outside of the band. The Ecstatic Peace! the record label was also run by Moore. He was included in the top 100 guitarists by Rolling Stones and has had a significant impact on numerous generations as a result of his songs.

Wonderful as always

I would of been 3 years old. I'm 30 now and only saw you guys when I was 16 at Coachella

Idk why this feels so nostalgic I didn’t exist in the 90s lmao

from pleasure to agony back and forward

sonic youth debe volver a los escenarios algún día
