I have a sickness, an addiction, and it consumes my life. It’s called NEUROSIS, one of my favorite bands ever. This addiction forces me to keep posting bad-ass Neurosis live videos, like this one from the first time I saw them play. I had a chance to see them the year before, and missed it because I was broke and after hearing so many people talking about how awesome they were, I vowed not to miss their next appearance. That time came in May 1997, in Syracuse, New York, at a small club called Lost Horizon. Also on the bill were Unsane, Brutal Truth, Eyehategod, Dead & Gone, and Overcast. The whole show was amazing. This isn’t the greatest video of the band, my friend shot it and we were pretty damned stoned. Plus, the mics couldn’t really handle the force of a Neurosis gig, I think. I also didn’t dub their entire set, I ran out of tape on my VHS and never did go back and redub the whole set, so it’s missing the last song or two. Still, it rates and it’s sentimental for me. If you love Neurosis, have at it. Play it loud.

I was also at this show, and on the flyer it’s advertised as “the sickest show you’ll ever see”. To this day my friends and I still believe that. After seeing neurosis, I felt like a different person. Everything had changed, and what’s left was PISSED. Thanks for posting this! The 17 year old kid in the front left thanks you too.
I was that stoned individual who filmed NEUROSIS that glorious evening. That still to this day is one of my favorite evenings ever. The whole show was brutal and sick. And I believe that was the night we decided to follow EYEHATEGOD, NEUROSIS, BRUTAL TRUTH And UNSANE on the rest of the tour till it ended in NYC at Irving Plaza on 42nd Street. We were young and out of control and we had a fucking blast, one of my fondest memories.
