Steve Albini is the MC and J Mascis joins us on additional guitar on The Stooges cover.
Thanks to @origfunhouse for the footage."

What a one-two punch in stellar quality. I'd never seen Kim rock the bass like she does on "Hot Wire My Heart"... Fuck me. And J is like the Mick Taylor (or, well, the James Williamson) Sonic Youth never had.
