Sonic Youth

On June 10, 1987, Sonic Youth performed live at the VPRO Studio in Hilversum, showcasing their experimental and noise rock spirit just after the release of their influential album "Sister". Released in 1987, "Sister" marked a pivotal moment for the band, further establishing their signature sound that melded alternative rock with avant-garde influences. This live recording captures the raw energy of the band during a time when they were gaining significant attention in the indie scene, particularly due to their association with the early 90s grunge movement. Notably, the performance features tracks that highlight their unique guitar tunings and artful dissonance, with the song "Beauty Lies in the Eye" standing out as a testament to their creative experimentation. Sonic Youth's ability to blend art and music was still fresh and resonant, making this concert a gem in their live archives.
