In January 2008, My Bloody Valentine performed live in New York, showcasing their track "Thorn," which originally appeared on their 1988 album "Isn't Anything." By this time, the band was experiencing a significant reunion phase after a long hiatus; they had famously disbanded in the early 1990s following the release of their groundbreaking album "Loveless" in 1991. The 2008 performance marked one of their first live shows since their 1995 tour, igniting excitement among fans who had long awaited their return. The choice to perform a song from their early catalog illustrates their commitment to their roots while re-engaging with a dedicated fanbase. Additionally, the recording's capture by noted filmmaker Lance Bangs adds a layer of authenticity and significance to this live moment.
