We interrupt our ongoing and most likely perpetual MBV Watch feature to mark the birthday of noise-pop visionary Kevin Shields — he’s turning 48 today — by presenting this full 14-song, 53-minute Isn’t Anything-era My Bloody Valentine concert filmed at the University of London Union on Feb. 16, 1989.
You can watch the full show — courtesy of YouTube user monsmartyrium — in the playlist embedded above, or check out individual chunks at Slicing Up Video. Consider it proof, however fleeting, that Shields once did things in public of a musical nature.
