Sonic Youth - 100% Live Performance at Campo Pequeno, Lisbon, Portugal

Venue: Campo Pequeno Location: Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal Date: July 14, 1993

On July 14, 1993, Sonic Youth performed live at Campo Pequeno in Lisbon, Portugal, and this concert came during a pivotal time in their career. Just prior to this recording, they released their critically acclaimed album 'Goo' in 1990, which solidified their place in the alternative rock scene. The band was in a creative phase, having just dropped their album 'Dirty' in 1992, which included hits like '100%'—the very song showcased in this live recording. Fun fact: 'Dirty' marked a shift toward a rawer sound, reflecting their embrace of grunge and punk aesthetics. The live performance serves as a testament to their dynamic stage presence, blending noise rock with impressive melodies that resonated deeply with the audience. This particular show was part of a limited edition release, making it a special memento for fans eager to capture the energy of Sonic Youth in their prime.
