Sonic Youth

The live recording of "100%" from Sonic Youth at The Warfield on November 30, 1992, captures the band during a pivotal moment in their career. Released just before this performance, their album "Dirty" was a significant success, showcasing the raw energy and experimental sound that defined their style. With tracks like "Teenage Riot" and the more emotionally charged "100%", the album brought them further into the mainstream, becoming a fan favorite. Interestingly, "Dirty" also marked their collaboration with producer Butch Vig, known for his work with Nirvana. This creative partnership reflects the band's commitment to pushing boundaries while still resonating with a broader audience. Sonic Youth’s ability to blend noise and melody seamlessly is evident in this live recording, making it a noteworthy glimpse into their dynamic stage presence during the early '90s alt-rock explosion.
