Sonic Youth

In 2007, when Sonic Youth performed "Silver Rocket" live at the Roundhouse in London, they were riding the wave of their influential career, having released their dynamic album 'Rather Ripped' just a year earlier. This album showcased their ability to blend noise rock and melodic sensibilities, appealing to both long-time fans and newcomers. Interestingly, 'Rather Ripped' marked a more streamlined and accessible sound for the band, yet still retained their avant-garde edge. The performance of 'Silver Rocket', which originally appeared on their iconic album 'Daydream Nation', is a beautiful nod to their past while demonstrating how their live energy remained electric even years into their career. Fans often celebrate their live shows for their raw intensity and spontaneity, making this snippet a gem for Sonic Youth enthusiasts.
