"I saw Stereolab in Bellingham and they played one chord for 15 minutes. Something in me shifted. I brought back home belief I could create eternity."
this actually made me get into stereolab. didn’t really know about them before
Elverum for life
You my friend, understand Stereolab. Your life is complete. There is nothing more for you to learn.
Yes.
@@jamesedgewood4643 I take no credit. It's a lyric from Phil Elverum in his album The Microphones in 2020. You can hear it at this time stamp, but I'd recommend starting from the beginning and listening to the whole album through, then more of his stuff: ruclips.net/video/A7BkabF31ak/видео.html
RIP Mary Hansen
Stereolab, Pavement, Guided By Voices, Sonic Youth, Beck, The Flaming Lips, The Breeders...So many champions of alt-rock in the second half of the 90s
And Sparklehorse
These were predominantly big in the first half.

Your welcome
@@briancox9357 no...but i promise....someday i WILL treat you good......
In 2020 this still kills.
So DOPE!!
💯💯💯
disagree lol
2021
pro trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
HEY EVERYBODY! RUclips doesn't have a replacement feature for swapping out the original uploads and keeping all the views and comments and fun stuff. SO I'M UPLOADING THEM AGAIN! In the coming weeks there'll be brand spankin' new and higher quality encodes of all your favorite videos! When you see a new upload of an old favorite (for instance you can find THIS one HERE Stereolab -French Disko (NEW)) please be sure to like it, comment on it, and share it so that it gains traction in search rankings and I can eventually replace the old versions altogether. Thank you all so very much for all the positive feedback and thanks for watching!
I love it!! They're Jamming!
We miss you, Stereolab. RIP Mary!
:`(
So pretty and i have always loved the name
We're going to sing in a way so cool we almost look bored, blast you with French fuzz punk Krautrock and vintage synths, and have the audacity to call it Disko. Absolute class.
disko is just a title... not a descriptor
yep
@@threedeemelodies but ya can dance to it so it is disko
“But what is anything? What is this? Are we okay here?”
Say the French…
now in my 60s , this was 30 years ago , makes me feel energised watching but also old
Our daughter’s favorite Stereolab song. She always danced to it. What a incredible and talented band. Thanks for all of the music! 🙌🏼🎶🎛
Somehow i managed to discover Stereolab just a few weeks ago😮They are stunning!!!
Every song I click on is completely different than the one I've heard before, but every single one is awesome. I am in love with their tunes!🥰
😃
Welcome! I hope you manage to savor all of it. Their music is a gift that keeps on giving.
good find
Yeah they rule. They have a few duds, IMO, like pretty much all of Chemical Chords, but damn they get it right sometimes. I love Cobra and Phases Group. Too good!
Look at them. They look about 12. I was that young once. At the same time as them.
I love every second of this song and this video. I so loved the early 90s. Musical heaven.
Seeing Mary brought a tear to my eye. I met her in St. Kilda Australia. Great sense of humour. Missing you.
It’s jan 21st 2025, and this song feels even more urgent than it did back in the nineties
I saw them kick this out at point-blank range in a tiny room above a pub in Windsor in about 1993. I've seen a lot of gigs and some huge bands, but it remains the live highlight of my life.
Saw them do a 2 hour encore once.
That’s great
Where was that? We used to go to the Old Trout a bunch but don't remember a venue above a pub.
oh my god 😭
Shit they look so young! I remember seeing this on TV on a Friday night when I was 14, and getting on a bus to Beggars Banquet in Kingston and buying the single the next day. Pop moment!
Its 30 years old , that scares me a bit 🤪
And still sounds strong ... and cool.
it's crazy how fast that 30 years went by.. no one ever told me i was just the right age.. i was "too young" to join bands and now I'm just a broken old singer songwriter no one knew existed
In the 90’s I drove down to the south of France with Cybiles reverie, and refried ectoplasm on the cd player. The car was a convertible, my hair was long, and the weed was Dutch. What a time to be alive!
😭
The extra bpm compared to the original gives it an edge of frantic-ness - absolutely brilliant.
Their greatest song performed so brilliantly that it brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye every time I watch this😭
2023 still goes hard
I saw them in 1999 in Germany @ the Southside Festival. There was bad weather since many days. Stereolab played on a side stage covered with a big tent.
As it started hard raining again, many people from the main stage moved to side stage and filled the tent. Minutes before there were not many people as the started to play, what a shame.
They played amazing. And loud, so pure.
I stood in the first row, no barriers. Only Stereolab in front of me.
what a gift !
I can remember they gave admission with 'French Disco'' in a approx. 20 minutes version.
It blew my head away. mixed with countless Hashpipes I couldn't grasp to have that all in the first row.
One of the most intensive moments in my life.
I remember watching this performance when it went out live on 'The Word' and have been a Stereolab ever since.
I wasn't aware of The Word show back then in the tv era, but from a few videos that I saw recently, it gives me an impression that this was the sickest music show ever, perfectly capturing the spirit of 90's
It wasn't a music show as such, but they always used to have cool live performances thrown in.
The bands may have been great, but it was awful, cheap TV in which they would goad guests and humiliate people in exchange for 10 seconds of fame. You really had to wade through some of the worst TV ever broadcast for the bands. Plus it was hosted by megaroid uber twat, the human chewing-gum-stuck-to-a-piece-of-dog-shit-on-the-bottom-of-your-shoe ... Terry Christian .. who you'll note just has to brag about recently seeing Stereolab in LA.
It was the greatest 'car crash' TV show that ever did exist
i feel like this is by far the best live music performance i've ever discovered on youtube.
It’s also because of the energy in the room. Those kids were having a great time
Lætitia Sadier. What an amazingly talented fox leading a fantastic band at the height of their powers. More amazed that they can still write great music decades after this. Aside from losing Mary, they’re still great.
The best lead AND backing vocals 🙌👩🏻👩🏼🔥🔥😁😁💋💋😎😎🇬🇧🇫🇷♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hey I put on a few wee gigs in very deep south of Spain where the commercial people will never be invited or find us, I will tell you something, this stereo lab track still makes the night whether I have a 50 year old superstar DJ or a 17 year old up and coming, I insist they play it and it always, always works.
i can't believe i just learned about them. they could've been my favourite band the past 20 years! ah well, next 20 years it is then
same!
+1 🙂👍
same!
their live sound was probably the best of any uk band in the 1990s
I have a similar dilemma, although I first heard about them in 1995 with the song "Ping Pong". I was into so many different bands at the time that I didn't really get deep into them. I did have the CD's Mars Audiac Quintet and Dots and Loops but didn't spend much time with them. Now I'm appreciating some of the music I overlooked.
Great live performance, the audience is great too. And of course the "cheesy dancers". I just love Stereolab!!!
2019 APPROVES
...deeply.
And in 202O Aswell!
Not to mention 2021!
... and 2025. tbc.
I really can’t find a single way in which this isn’t perfect.
Robert N. Lee ***** Tracy Popp Michael McNally
You're so not wrong.
Andrew Facherty ha ha!
I was spending time trying to understend, since i read Adrew's post
Well said. I remember being literally floored when I first heard them back in the 90's on our local great radio station, KDHX 88.1. I think it was Cybele's Reverie, and I was blown away and had to lay down on the floor to take it all in! One of those "I HAVE to know who this is" moments!
This live version is fantastic...they really rocked hard in the 90's!
It just gets better every time I listen to it
Have loved this song for years. Great to see the band performing it live, and especially people dancing to it!
The final minute or so of this performance is akin to being transported to the most perfect place on Earth . It's beautiful. My ears have never been treated as much. 👍👍👍👍👍
their live sound was amazing it lives on in this and the jools holland vids
This song and dance beat has to be on anyone who runs playlist! And the girl at around 2:54 is definitely having a great time with this song!
this feels like a transmission from an alternate universe
This describes all the best Stereolab songs...
You mean the 90s?
I think it’s french
their live sound was amazing saw them twice best was ETK in 1996
What Ray said - that universe would be France, thus the title of the song....
This is the best version I've heard (rougher and raw(er?))
I hope Terry and those atThe Word realised how lucky they were.
Absolutely banging
also: from this same period they released The Free Design as well as First of the Microbe Hunters EP's and when put together make my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Stereolab "album" hands down. Their control over their Moog textures are at full power. I've never heard such stunningly beautiful synthetic soundscapes. It makes me think of beautiful German Expressionist futuristic cities with everyone flying around in jet cars (except in color! beautiful kaleidoscopic color... )
VimanaRama still relevant today. Good piece.
It's strange how, so many great bands from late 80s and early 90s escape from my detection...
Awesome sound and vibe!
their live sound was nothing like their lps they smashed it live
@@sidandnancy1966 also my opinion. saw them live in Porto and they fkn killed it that night, what a vibe
Thanks Terry, this show was probably where I first heard Stereolab...I love my music and am always moving on but this band caught me on many levels, this is everything I want, crautrock, punk rock, euro disco and everything else it so wonderfully IS.... glad you put the time in to get them on, just wonderful...
Absolutely incredible.
Absolutely fantastic. I can't make without this tune to face life in a lightweight fashion. Thank you all the dames in Stereolab.
Mars Audiac Quintet is one of my desert-island albums, but I had no idea they rocked this hard live!
In 2021 this still kills.
their live sound got better over the next 4 years
Likewise 2024.
I love the way they all look like they've only just woken up and have had the same clothes on for the last 3 days. Great sound.
Could be my favorite song of all time
The Word was fucking brilliant, and so were Stereolab. Perfect slice in time.
This performance must be one of the best ever. I LOVE it! It really sends intense shivers down my spine...
never gets old good to hear again
I love this song
This is the song I want played at my funeral.
I have been listening to them for years, but this is the first time I have seen them perform.
Not heard this in years...great times these were as a 17year old ! Much appreciated post ....
I love the trojan dancers having it off at the background
Surprisingly, they seem really into analog-kraut-rock
Remember seeing this when it first aired and still got it on video. Adore the girl on the left keyboard.
She’s looking extremely rough nowadays…
I watched this live. What. A. Tune. peak indie.
The bit at 0:40 where Laetitia reaches for the note and does a little sort of frown makes my heart tremble every damn time. Awesome song, awesome performance.
Saw them play in San Diego years ago. Belly up tavern.
Such an underrated band. I've always liked their style and vibe.
charmingly imperfect
I saw them live back in 1998 in France..and met TIM GANE after the show..he noticed me because I was wearing a NME C86 T Shirt..and I just told him that Mc Carthy "celestial city" song was just the most beautiful song ever..he was very kind
Very Guardian… very smug.. childish university late 80s middle class dog shit.
One of THE tunes of the 90s on one of THE most iconic shows of the 90s
Mars Audaic Quintet is the perfect album that bridges the old style (cyclical VU "Sister Ray" riff drone w/farfisa) and the modern burbling Moog-heavy sound. It's got stone cold classics like "Ping Pong", "Wow and Flutter", "Three Longers Later" and "International Colouring Contest".
Their last decent album imo but then I did prefer the earlier sound !
I just had the honor for the first time to listen to Stereolab on RUclips and my finger autonomously clicked the subscribe button before my brain could say, "just wait!" Steve- from Chicago
Kim Wexler listens to Stereolab too
I can't decide what is greater in this 90's masterpiece....the music or the lyrics which no one mentions....LA RESISTANCE!
The next album chronologically is cited by almost everybody as the band's masterpiece: Emperor Tomato Ketchup. "Cybele's Reverie" "Les Yper Sound" and "the Noise of Carpet" are big universal favorites. You can't go wrong with these two.
Had to reply to this 15 year old comment, because you're absolutely right.
What a priviledge it has been to grow up in that decade. Im not a nostalgic person, but when I see and hear this, Its impossible not to be nostalgic. The 90s were truly the last, great decade in terms of pop culture and music.
this is probably the greatest live tv band performance of the 1990s of a uk band
Farfisa keyboards representing Italy in such a classic cut from Stereolab ... love ... and they play at Primavera '19!
Necro reply but that's a Vox Continental Katharine is playing. Although, I've seen her playing a Farfisa live when it was a Vox on the album... It's very confusing...
@1:35 Letitia seems to be hands on allegedly a FARFISA keyboard, still major point is that this song pulls me.
@@GiangiacomoZaffini Purtroppo non ho mai avuto la fortuna di vederli...però non credo siano venuti molto spesso in Italia.
Most of the organ you hear is a Vox Jaguar.. it’s not actually a Vox but a Thomas organ , they bought Vox in the late 60s.. your both wrong but you mean well…
STILL CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG ❤️...2021 ... AND IT'S STILL AN AWESOME SONG,AND A TOP SLICE OF ELECTRONIC -- PUNK MASH UP...!! I'D LOVE TO SEE THE REMAINING BAND MEMBERS RE - UNITE AND REFORM
welcome to the best and great live bands of the 1990s SL smashed their lps with their live shows and below ur comet one from 12 years ago timeless live performance
I haven't seen Stereolab live unfortunately, got a bunch of their records. I never imagined they'd sound this urgent and rocking live. Top drawer.
Very very good!! No question. When I read negative comments I wonders about the other musical artists that I love!! About thousands of them. No shit!! How shallow! Glad I know how to LISTEN! I'm sure millions of people feel the same way. Ahhh the listeners GOLDEN!!!
I always comeback to this song. Superb!
It still sounds great today and every other day. Until the end of time!
This is from a show called 'the Word' which was Channel Fours flagship late night Friday 'yoof' tv show. They had all manner of bands on, from metal to hip hop, indie and dance. As a 14 year old I used to watch it every week to catch cool bands live. The crowd was always idiotic, which made for some great awkward moments like this one! I will never forget this performance, or Therapy? for that matter; they destroyed it.
As a 13 year old, I'll never forget when one of L7 pulled her knickers down at the end of a song. The camera didn't even cut away. Good times 😄
I liked watching the idiotic, awkward crowd dance!!
Me too- more dancing here than you normally get at a Stereolab show, where everyone is too cool for school
Always play this on my streams today...incredible song 🎵 ❤
Thanks. I'd long forgotten all about this song.
Great band, great song. Thanks for posting!
1:42 is probably the most 90s thing I've seen this day/week/year/decade/millennium.
1.43 - what male strippers used to wear in medieval England.
That was one appreciative audience. Kudos to all of you there.
One of the best songs of the 90's. The only reason it wasn't a hit was that it was VERY hard to get ahold of, I had to search for ages. On some weird label. The didn't go out of the way to market it. Truly original. Everyone liked it. Even if you could find it, it was expensive to buy and usually only on vinyl which was unpopular even then. They were Marxist and the last word in non-commercialism. If this was a hit they would have been famous which I suppose they didn't want. Still a popular one
I want this to be played at full blast on repeat at my funeral
Invite me to your funeral.
Well I listened to this first time round and then all this time later. Still incomparably fucking fantastic.
The best song in the music history. I love this video
the best live live tv performance in history
acts of solidarity can bring sense to this world.
I've seen them live four times, each time they blew the roof off the house. RIP Mary Hansen.
fab song .loved this song for a long time.
when i heard this for the 1st time 20 odd years ago it blew me away, it still sounds current now.
Today Is the day I find this band , this song . Wonderful.
Beauty-ful, kid just beauti-ful
J'aime ce groupe depuis longtemps !
Me too. I especially love the way the drummer is pounding the tar out of his snare. The bass player has a Rick, too!
now THIS is music. danceable, raw, human.
Can't watch this less than 3 times!
Love this. Play them regularly on my show. - CRMK 8pm Friday UK time
Crikey, no way!!! :(
I remember hearing this on Radio 1 (UK) on the Mark Radcliffe show in the evenings back in the early/mid 1990's. I loved it and the tune defined to me what Stereolab was about. Can't believe she's gone!!!
One of Thom Yorkes favorite bands back in the day.
I watched "the Word" religiously for the bands..only hit the Mute button when Chris Evans was on. I just sooo love the intensity of that song!!!!!
This is reminds me of 60s like holy shit. Stereolab rocks but the fact.. I miss the 90s. :/
Stereolab was influenced a lot by 60s instrumental pop music and psychedelia
It's really the late 70s to mid 90s that were great since a lot of underground / diy / indie bands were making it into the mainstream and there was heavy influence from the UK. By the late 90s, British influence was really on the decline and style over substance edgelord music (nu metal) and overly polished pop, r&b, and hiphop started taking over in the US.
