Malkmus's energy is so cool in this vid. It's like a mix of feeling it and pissed off frustration that culminates in jigging around with the guitar behind his head
I was going to say, imagine being there, present for this moment in time. I keep coming back to it periodically. It's the most satisfying performance possibly ever, for an amazing song to begin with! You're so lucky!! 😂
I was there that night at the Manchester University Academy to see them for the third time since Reading 1991. Alas it was also my final time too. I remember Malkmus being rather surly even by his own standards and the mood was dark as too was the room and not very full either but the performance was musically sharp and mesmeric and me and the other Pave-heads there loved it.
Best Pavement song and performance ever, it always ties with range life for me but hes playing that guitar like it's never not been attached to his body ,such a simple jingle but it makes for the old 1 -2 note Neil young solo sound lol
Luckily barring an unforeseen event,plane crash,car crash etc I'm seeing ,hoping old age as the cause. I cant wait to see what he will do as an older aged musician
@@pineapplecircus being a younger person Traditional Techniques was my first record of his I really fell in love with (though I loved Silver Jews and knew of pavement)…such a tremendous record
people shit on Bob N but everyone is pretty much subservient to the Malkman in this band, I think that's how it was formed intentionally or not, and his energy allows for the looseness that makes Pavement so shoulder shrugging 90s.
I'm reading a book about Wowee Zowee, and I stumble again on this comment. Funny thing is, Malkmus basically said the same thing about the solo in Rattled by the rush! "There were probably some quotation marks around that solo, but it's still a solo"
@@kigo55 it's part of the 33 1/3 series, published by Bloomsbury. Every book is about a single album and wrote by a different author. I bought it from Amazon, but depending on where you live there might be cheaper options! Just search for "wowee zowee 33 1/3"
this is from literally days before they broke up right? it's certainly got that air about it - malkmus doesn't give a fuuuck. i mean in a good way but also a slightly scary way
He never gave a fuck, but here he really just didn't want to do it anymore. I saw them in Chicago, they're last U.S show before the breakup and he looked like he was suffering on stage, almost like playing was a chore.
j wds Yeah, it seemed like it was a real chore. He was playing the guitar behind his back and dancing and kicking and strumming and having a ball. Yeah, looks like a real chore.
@@wildmercuryfilms Yeah, but look at that facial expression, and the lack of excitement in the movements. It almost looks like he had to punch a timecard before walking on that stage. Burnout is a real thing, even with successful musicians
Doctor's leaving for the holiday season Got crystal ice picks, no gift for the gab And in the parking lot is the Sedan he bought He never, he never complains when it's hot He sold a swollen daughter In a sauna playing contract bridge They're soaking up the fun or doing blotters, I don't know which Which, which boys are dying on these streets I know the medical world could knock you out To sell the coins that you jayed last Thursday Dine by candle light and hold your savings tight You never, you never know when the bridge falls apart We spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes and the bedside morale We traipse around the table talking sentences so incomplete Please, plea, boys are dying on these streets
Malkmus was being a bit of a jerk to the backstage crew. He goes to hand his guitar to the guy, pulls it away, teases him, then asks the other guy to carry the 2nd guitar 2ft over to him. Looks like Ibold was like: "NAH."
I wrote in Steven Malkmus in the ballot for the last presidential election. I was just being random and gratuitous, but I now wonder how many votes he got.
Too bad they only have one great song and that's it... they also have some good songs.. but only one great one...maybe if he spent less time trying to rip the pumpkins in the 90"s over jealousy and more on songwriting they would have had more gems like this one...😕
NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A WALKING BASS
spiritual experience thru the Blue light of my computer monitor
oh yes. exquisitely said
Malkmus's energy is so cool in this vid. It's like a mix of feeling it and pissed off frustration that culminates in jigging around with the guitar behind his head
A drunken GOD - the looks from the bassist are priceless - I wish there were more live versions of this their greatest song... :(
i dont think malkmus has ever given a fuck
Of course he has. In his own delightful way.
Malkmus is one of the ultimate "I chose to make music for a living but I hate doing it" vibes
I was there as a sprightly 17 year old. Still have amazing memories of this gig and so happy that it came out on dvd. The academy was a great venue.
Tom Brimelow niccce. Wish I saw them in their prime
I was 14. Would have loved it.

I've always enjoyed Ibold's stage presence.

One of the great riffs of all time. Right up there with Cinnamon Girl.
my hero malkmus.. you make me wanna rock
electrifying performance! classic showmanship from SM
The day this dude leave us i'm gonna be so, so sad.
I was about to answer this comment when i realized it was my own.
He's still got plenty of decades left (hopefully)
@@JeffBenefit Malky with be rocking long after we've all died Jeff. no need to worry.

Manchester Academy, legendary venue!
I was lucky enough to be at this show, good times.
That is the most Pavement light show of all time.
This is incredible
I love finding gigs you were at 20 years ago on UA-cam!
I prefer early Pavement but this is actually my favourite of their songs
one of the best lyricists of all time
My headphones started working again to this song
pavement son el padre, la madre y el espíritu santo
用英文，要不然我们看不懂你。
amen

Great band, great song.
Very well my friend - thanks for posting.
I fucking love pavement
malkmus: the rock god
One great song that's it!!!😕
Kylo Ren what
@@kyloren7070 their one good song is all of them

Goddamnit steve malkmus you are ‘el hombre’
voltaria no tempo por esse show
second to last show before they broke up
I love you Stephen malkmus
The most sarcastic solo ever.. awesome!
Haha that's the perfect definition for it

oh my god stephen malkmus is so dorky and cute though
Their second-best song.
KNOCK>YOU>OUT
Why are you guys watching this? Boys are dying on these streets!
That make me chuckle a lil bit
Smart
❤️

j wds he never gave a fuck tho
This was the second to last gig before they split which was Brixton Academy the next night.
He never gave a fuck, but here he really just didn't want to do it anymore. I saw them in Chicago, they're last U.S show before the breakup and he looked like he was suffering on stage, almost like playing was a chore.

there goes my hero...
Doctor's leaving for the holiday season
Got crystal ice picks, no gift for the gab
And in the parking lot is the Sedan he bought
He never, he never complains when it's hot
He sold a swollen daughter
In a sauna playing contract bridge
They're soaking up the fun or doing blotters, I don't know which
Which, which boys are dying on these streets
I know the medical world could knock you out
To sell the coins that you jayed last Thursday
Dine by candle light and hold your savings tight
You never, you never know when the bridge falls apart
We spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes and the bedside morale
We traipse around the table talking sentences so incomplete
Please, plea, boys are dying on these streets
Spiritual.....
04:04 does the bassist tell Malkmus to calm down at the end? what happens there?
Michelle Katosa Yup that's pretty much what he did
Malkmus goes sicko mode
I dont think so.
Malkmus was being a bit of a jerk to the backstage crew. He goes to hand his guitar to the guy, pulls it away, teases him, then asks the other guy to carry the 2nd guitar 2ft over to him. Looks like Ibold was like: "NAH."
best grounded ever
DOPE DOPE DOPE DOPEEEEEEEEEE
Was definitely thinking of writing in Malkmus over Clinton & Trump a few weeks ago. Wonder if he would have wanted the vote.
I wrote in Steven Malkmus in the ballot for the last presidential election. I was just being random and gratuitous, but I now wonder how many votes he got.
Omg this song is always like a religious experience....
Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Ibold.
where can see the whole show ？l couldn't find it.
Ay
That's one malk'd mus
i wish there was a link to this full concert
Slow century dvd
@@terencelee7811 thank you so much! i never knew there was a dvd for it
Mark wont feel the benefit when he gets outside.
Too bad they only have one great song and that's it... they also have some good songs.. but only one great one...maybe if he spent less time trying to rip the pumpkins in the 90"s over jealousy and more on songwriting they would have had more gems like this one...😕
Kylo Ren nonsense.
The malkman tried to rip off the pumpkins?! More like: he succeed to piss off the pumkins
And in what universe is gold soundz a "good" song?
you're talking that bullshit
I can tell you have shit taste
