- Shellac, Live... Watch it!
Shellac has a distinctive, minimalist sound based on unusual and urgent time signatures, repetitive heavy rhythms, an angular guitar sound, and Albini's surreal, bitingly sarcastic lyrics. Songs typically do not have traditional verse/chorus/verse structure and the arrangements are sparse, to the point where some describe them as "amelodic". Shellac's signature sound is often associated with their enthusiasm for vintage Travis Bean guitars, a rare brand of aluminium-based instruments, and the Interfax "Harmonic Percolator" distortion pedal. Albini is also known to use copper plectrums and unique guitar straps that fit around the waist rather than over the shoulder. The band prefers the intimacy of smaller clubs and live appearances are sporadic.

Rest in peace Steve Albini. One of the best to ever do it. ❤
I was at this gig with my one year old son and tonight we're off to see them again in Sydney, 18+ years later. Albini should be mandatory for all pre-schoolers.
I was at this gig. I was sixteen and it blew my mind.
There too, 19 at the time..still one of the best gigs..thank you to whomever had the cam!
if i had been there it would ve blown my ears n mind too....besides i also would ve been 16
I was there too, I think Girls Against Boys were on after them and both sets were incredible. So pleased to find this on UA-cam 25 years later!
I was there too
I was 20. Those first couple of Phoenix festivals where fantastic for the noisier end of what was going on at the time. Great to find this, my first Shellac gig. Massive thanks to the original poster and whoever filmed this

‘Find people who think like you and stick with them. Make only music you are passionate about. Work only with people you like and trust. Don't sign anything.’ RIP Steve
Amazing how close they sound live to recorded. Steve Albini is a true realist
This was a tremendous end of the day, never seen so many people from other bands in a festival tent before (or after). Now that's respect.
The Phoenix Festival was short lived but every one was epic. Happy days!
Being a generation X'er I unfortunately did Not discover Steve Albini until a friend played Rapeman!! That was IT for me I was hooked. I love the obscurity of his 3 different bands and variations all comprised of the same foundation. All 3 Shellac,Big Black, and Rapeman are Waaay ahead of their time and Genius!! When I first heard his music I thought it was current like two thousandsish! NOT 1988-1994 or so!! Timeless! Thanks Brainphreak for posting this show...
I discovered Rapeman on here listening to Big black songs, clicked on Trouser Minnow and that was it, ordered the album of Amazon that evening and never looked back. Still blows my mind considering when it was released, you can hear so many later bands in that one album. Changed my whole musical taste discovering Big black, I clicked on bad penny from their pig pile show and I was hooked. Spent eighty quid on the video of that show and god knows how much on albums, Rudimentary Peni being the most expensive at £80. I would get them through the post, chuck them on my I-tunes and them put them in a box for safe keeping. Swans, Scratch acid, Shellac, Slint, to name but a few. All I can say is thank god for UA-cam.
I discovered Big Black about a year ago and now worship Albini lol, dude is a violent extreme music visionary. If you listen to something like Racer X you can hear how his brainchild influenced everything from Nirvana to Ministry, fckn amazing.
Going by the comments I can see Shellac have obviously managed to remain obscure. They're probably my favourite band of all time. This era in particular I love - the first few 7" songs and At Action Park blew my mind back in '94 when I was introduced to them and I love them just as much today. Fantastic to have a whole live set uploaded from that time. You've done me a great service - even if I did take my sweet time realising this was up here. Thanks!
R.I.P. Steve… one of the few artists who understood what a performance was all about. 🔥
DRUMS SOUND AMAZING
I was there. Brick Layer Cake were also in the same tent before Shellac. Great bands.
I was there blew me away and still does
I saw them in Detroit around this time (Sep 30, 1994). Amazing.
Just a minute I have to retune...
Perfect.
Steve Albini is a genius.
I have watched/listened to this video countless times. thanks for publishing!
Wow. The very last song sounds just like Spoke from Excellent Italian Greyhound. I never knew they'd been playing it since the days of the first album. Years before being recorded as a studio track. Thank you for the upload.
Well to say this is 1994 on a 4:3 analog camcorder just standing in the audience, the sound is amazing.
Guess having two recording engineers in the band really panned out
@@saltedhammy5748 ha!
the most punk i’ve ever seen albini look
my favorite Shellac show online
I love Albini's and Weston's before show banter, nice early gig, Still a great band live if you get the chance! thanks for uploading this video!
Saw them in Detroit in '98 . . . with Blonde Redhead . . . opening for Fugazi . . . for $6! All 3 band were excellent. Though I was familiar with Steve Albini (he'd recorded a friends' band about 5 yrs prior ) I'd not heard of Shellac and they won me over immediately
I saw The Raincoats earlier today, and they were great, and during the entire Raincoats set nobody yelled out any Big Black song titles. Could you please extend us the same courtesy.
So good, and then to go into that crushing Wingwalker, let 'em know
Amazing
well done that man for recording and uploading this! i was also in that tent that balmy evening
oh man...when I see that I get a little sentimental. Eminem had to go through so much and spend a lot of hard moments in the shadows, but look at where he has come and how wonderfully his daughter has grown up. I bow respectfully
they played the norshore in duluth with evil beaver and the vermont experience several years ago, i got blackout wasted and tried to interview steve, made a real fool of myself, but have a fun story to tell the rest of my life now. i talk to them after all their shows, they are really friendly people. don't know why steve has the opposite reputation.
Excellent. "I'm a plane!!!!!!"
Nice. I was at this gig.
YES.
I was at this show - age 17
I! AM!! A!!! PLANE!!!!!
Atonal, Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac = visceral music whether you hate it or love it
Although I didn't film it myself I actually have the master tape for this! It was filmed on a 8mm camcorder.
me ha inspirado para hacer una banda.....
@NavySealWannabe67 - Hehe you see drums right? :) Big black is a previous Albini project without drums :)
Do they have all of these recorded? I dont recognize all of these songs, but that might just be my memory.
Saw them in the late 90's, they were amazing.. Steve and Bob weren't too keen on me and my mate stagediving though. Think they're curating ATP this year..
You should have told them to cry you a fucking river. Dweebs.
where, & what do you play?
neither does it compare the budd by rapeman, steve's project between big black & shellac. at one of their shows i was at (9am show with blonde redhead & thrones, they served pop tarts and coffee, it was a killer show) steve stated wingwalker was about garrison keilor.
you must be born again
Crazy cool show. What amp is steve using??
It’s actually a Fender Bassman hidden inside a box he put together
what's the last song they play?
What amps are they using?
I love Albini stuff because he seems to write music for the sole purpose of celebrating mental illness:) I am mentally ill, so I completely grasp the brand of his message.
al hueso
fire breathing rock
con el dinero de la recaudación del concierto pudieron comprar 2 pizzas,6 cervezas budweiser y un paquete de marlboro que se tuvieron que repartir entre los tres.
bob weston was not in big black and big black called it quits in 87' ... i dunno maybe you're trolling? haha
@NavySealWannabe67 definitely Shellac, not Big Black. Both great bands, although Shellac is a lot slower and more measured.
Une bonne musique de cinglés, pour des cinglés comme nous !
I love Steve but he kinda freaks me out when I watch him live.
They didnt like me taking pictures/video either when I saw them. They need to learn to have fun and just go with it! Control freaks! hah
Can somebody tell me the track listing please?
Yes.
this steve guy needs to eat more cheesburgers or something he looks sick
joe blow Not anymore lmfaoooo
Hey Man, Nice Shot doesn't compare to Wingwalker.
nevermind; it's 'spoke'.
You can hear P.J. Harvey in the first seconds of the video? Why?
Maybe because Steve Albini produced her second album "Rid of Me"...?
This is what happens when Todd Trainer is playing them.
LOUDER.
Shellac is albinis band after big black.
is it
Nope it is after Rapeman
Sorry for the rest of the ghastly nonsense shit we've foisted on you, Earth. We're trying to make it up to you by providing the planet Shellac, Jesus Lizard, & Slint. Hope you accept our sincere apologies for Poison & Vanilla Ice. Love, America.
We also threw in Polvo and U.S. Maple to sweeten the apology, which Canada is traditionally better at issuing, but had little else to offer, apart from No Means No
Must be nice to be the only guitar player who can be out of tune and still sound great.
Wtf are these dorks doing around 21:00?
those are airplanes
are you sure this isn't Big Black a 80's drum machine punk band?
Yes, we're sure. Dipshit.
Funniest looking drum machine Ive ever seen...
@@dr.spacekitten1079 right? lol
Albini was in both of those bands. lol
The drummer is definitely a machine
who wants to start a band w me
hey let's do it
