The Night Thread Says YES M!CH!GAN

YouTube Poster

(Taken from video description) “In this episode the boys head out of Minnesota into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, taking the long way to a show in Detroit where a street musician covers Nirvana.. In Columbus a stranger treats the band to a unique version of ‘closer to the heart’ by Rush.. all this and more as the band finishes the tour with a run through West Virginia and Pennsylvania ending back where they started, Northampton Massachusetts.” [footnote]In 1993, indie rock darlings Sebadoh embarked on a national tour. Founding member Lou Barlow had recently purchased a video camera and, as someone with a new “camcorder” was inclined to do in those days, filmed a bunch of random stuff. While fans of the band and/or the independent music scene of the era may find more to appreciate in these videos, I think they serve as a neat little time capsule that shows the early nineties as they were actually happening – and also of a time when people were much less inhibited about filming/being filmed in public without having/giving explicit permission.[/footnote]
