Neurosis – Retrospective in video

Posted on Friday, September 25th, 2009

Neurosis

The website linked below posted some nice footage of the thundering outfit that Neurosis was/is live. They’ve got material on there from 1994 to 2008. See below the gig at the Masonic Temple in Brooklyn in 2008. We thought you’d enjoy the clips, just as we did. The intro (but read more if you follow the link):

Working on the Neurosis retrospective didn’t quite change this outlook but it made me realize that I might want to add another band to the pool of names to bust out whenever the ‘favorite band’ subject gets brought up. It’s not like I had forgotten about their ability to take over ones body and mind with heavy waves of sonic bliss. It’s more like the nostalgia filled infusion caused by editing several hours of Neurosis footage brought back something to the forefront of my mind that I had known for a long time: Neurosis is indeed one the great bands out there, easily on the same level with those that I consider to be the greatest.
