Sonic Youth

In 1995, Sonic Youth was riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album "Goo," released in 1990, and continued to build their prestige within the alternative rock scene. By the time of this live performance at the Capitol Ballroom in Washington, D.C., they had just released "Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star," in the spring of that year—an album that showcased their unique blend of noise rock with more accessible melodies. Interesting tidbits about this recording include their dedication to pushing boundaries, both sonically and artistically, often experimenting with unconventional guitar tunings and structures. This concert isn't just a show; it's a glimpse into the band's exploration of their sound during a transformative period, making it a significant stop on their musical journey.
