Saw Sonic Youth four times on the Washing Machine tour in 1995. Twice at Lollapalooza, and later that year at the Hollywood Palladium and the Wiltern. Got to hear "Diamond Sea" four times. Thank you gods for allowing me to be born at the right time to see this band.
Washing Machine era SY was amazing 🤙💯
The best of all time. It has everything a Sonic Youth song should have. Melody and madness.
And great lyrics
The songs I love most are all about the lyrics. And yet I have never heard a song as great as this. I have been a Sonik Youth fan for over 20 years and there is something about this song and this performance that makes me as happy as I could imagine being. I saw them perform this live in '96 I think it was as a 19 year old and everything after that has just been falling action........
This is the song that made me a fan. I agree that there's definitely something special about it! Thanks for your comment.
I really know that strange feeling of happiness when revisiting some SY songs/performances. It's like finding my inner self over and over. or something like that.
I know I am kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch new tv shows online ?

@Ahmed Ryan Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!!
This is in the fine line between music and white noise, and they make it on a very expert way, absolutely mesmerizing. It's a master craft. One can space out just by hearing this. That's what the pinnacle of art looks like.
My uncle saw them in '91. It was at 7 on a Saturday night. He left with the feedback of the amps ringing in his ears. Feeling queasy and a limited budget, he quickly checked himself into a nearby Best Western. He woke up with the noise still present. It finally stopped on a Wednesday while at work.
I still don't know how the fuck did they do that... They must have titanium ears to survive to that noise... the way they experiment with their instruments, it just blew my mind, I don't know what the fuck did Thurston do with his wire... They're fucking unique, they're like Jackson Pollock making music...
"[...] like Jackson Pollock making music" - well written!❤
its like shoegaze, punk and prog all combined so good
The part at the end of the middle instrumental section where Thurston makes his guitar sound like a church bell...that's amazing.
God, I love how a beautiful psychedelic rock song can turn into a noisy feedback freakfest. Long live Sonic Youth
I witnessed this magic at Sziget Festival in Budapest the same year and it was a gamechanger for me, it put me on the right path for good! Can't say anything less about Sonic Youth, and particularly this song! Infinite love
what do you mean it put you on the right path, man?
Beautiful noise.
💜💜
Have been there, awesome
The Gods have delivered Their message. That is All.
This is so good. It’s like a very trippy psychedelic movie with an alien soundtrack.
i was there! :)
The best thing on youtube. End of.
argh! I envy everyone who was there!!!
Sonic Youth live, mid-90s, was magical. (I wasn't at that particular concert, but at another one in another german city that year (I guess...)
if i ever get to see this live again i can die a happy man .
ahead of time
You are so lucky to be present for such a beautiful performance.
Just a phenomenal behemoth of a track
The Diamond Seeeaaaa! Simplesmente the best song.
The best music of Sonic Youth.
i was there !!
This is one superb poetry
I heard them in 1996 in Budapest, Sziget Festival. Got to the stage based on some vague recollection that they might be some American legend. It was mind-blowing, one of the best shows I have ever seen. I was very happy that this fierce love for free noise existed on stage. But when I went through their recordings afterwards, I was quite disappointed. Anyway, thanks for the upload.
I saw this tour front row, blew my mind, love that song.
Pure art.
Happy Easter to Karl-Heinz
Awesome masterpiece!
oh my fucking god , thats so bealtiful, im crying.
Excelente tema, son realmente geniales SONIC YOUTH..!!
EPIC!
best song ever beautiful poetry
Incredible. It's a tough pick, but this is probably my fav song of their's. I'm pissed that Thurston had to go and fuck everything up and now I'll never be able to hear this or anything by them live..
Well, although it's unlikely they'll ever reform, never say never. I think it would be up to Kim really. I'd completely understand her not wanting to, but time does tend to give people another perspective on things, so you never know. And at the end of the day, they were together and highly prolific MUCH longer than most bands are, and I think they were all ready to do different things even if what happened hadn't went down. It might sound cliched, but everything has a life cycle and nothing lasts forever. I do miss seeing them live and listening to new SY albums, but I'll always be appreciative for the amazing legacy of work they've left with us.
sonicboy19 No doubt their legacy as legends will stand forever, and no doubt they have one of the most consistently fantastic catalogues of any band to ever exist. I just really wish I could have seen them live. Idk enough details to know if they were ready to move on. Sure they had solo material, but it was my understanding that they had another albums worth of material that they intended to record, but tensions were too great after their final tour. It's just that it was such a fucking senseless way for a band to end. It's one thing if a band isn't releasing good material after so many years, or if band members are dying off, but to end over such a selfish act is absurd. Thurston could have made it better after infidelity. That shit happens. He chose some young cunt over his wife and daughter, though. I know it's old news, but I'm still not over it. I'm getting back on a big Sonic Youth kick again, so it's all coming back and annoying me again. They were a bucket list band for me to see live. Oh well. At any rate, there's still the albums, and I'm rediscovering how incredible Washing Machine and A Thousand Leaves are, which are albums I never listened to back when I first got into them. Idk how I slept on those albums bc I've come to realize now that they're not only the better than their other 90s albums (the only other 90s album by them that I actually love and think is a masterpiece is Goo tbh), and not only are they amongst the very best in the bands catalogue, but they're really some of the best experimental guitar music ever produced in my opinion. Definitely they're most psychedelic work, not including the SYR albums. Great channel btw! Cheers!
Yeah, I hear ya. I was disappointed that it ended the way it did too. But over time I've tried to depersonalize it a bit. Sonic Youth was never defined by Kim & Thurston's relationship, and I think more bands break up as a result of some form of breakdown in relations between its members than for any other reason. From that perspective, this is really no different than the natural course of most bands. Too bad you didn't have the opportunity to catch them live. I was fortunate to see them play 7 times over the years...6 of the 7 were at the same venue but each tour somehow managed to define itself as an entirely unique experience. Glad that at least some of their live moments were captured on video...it doesn't match being at a gig of course, but it's definitely better than nothing! Thanks for the comments and glad you're enjoying the videos!
Time takes it's crazy toll
And how does your mirror grow
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
'Cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul
I wonder how it came to be my friend
That someone just like you has come again
You'll never, never know how close you came
Until you fall in love with the diamond rain
Throw all his trash away
Look out he's here to stay
Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
And you'll never never be the same
Look into his eyes and you can see
Why all the little kid's are dressed in dreams
I wonder how he's gonna make it back
When he sees that you just know it's make belief
Blood crystallized to sand
And now I hope you'll understand
You reflected into his looking glass soul
And now the mirror is your only friend
Look into his eyes and you will see
That men are not alone on the diamond sea
Sail into the heart of the lonely storm
And tell her that you'll love her eternally
Time takes its crazy toll
Mirror fallin' off the wall
You better look out for the looking glass girl
'Cause she's gonna take you for a fall
Look into his eyes and you shall see
Why everything is quiet and nothing's free
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
And love is running wild on the diamond sea

its so best!!
Thanks old bean . Spiffen top clip . Wow .
Thurston loves his guitar. Good for him he found a woman that doesn't mind. Or at least didn't.
Best ever🙌
I saw this 1996. it changed my mind upon how music´s done...Is there any other band doing things like this? (anno 2021!)
yeah check out Warm Frames on soundcloud and bandcamp and they also have a video up on youtube. little band from florida
If I ever get married, I'm going to walk down the aisle to this song.
Amazing song, but you should only play this song if
a) You are being ironic
b) The relationship is doomed
If my band ever gets the opportunity to play at a wedding we are so playing this. Ironically of course
Sounds pretty good !🔥🔥✌️
saw them around this time..
brilliant*********
nice noise!!!
powered by Fender..
Leo would be proud.
He wasn't a fan of rock music ))
@@antonhaman9402he was into jazz so he'd probably like this, keep in mind the rock music he was talking about was very different
... Stockhausen? Best shout out ever!
la canción de mi vida
It's hard to grasp that Thurston was in his late 30s when this video was filmed.
There are harder things to grasp out there.
love thurston playing with no strap at the chorus reprise haha
when love is running wild on the diamond seA
Oh, oh.
Merci.
Genius
shoutout to the girl covering her ears

Lol at the girl in the front row putting her fingers in her ears!
