Sonic Youth

In May 1998, Sonic Youth was riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album 'Goo', which they released back in 1990, marking a pivotal shift to a major label and gaining them broader recognition. Just a few months after this live recording at the Ogden Theatre, they'd release their album 'A Thousand Leaves' in 1998, which continued their experimental edge while reflecting their growth. At this time, Sonic Youth was known for their distinct sound, blending alternative rock with avant-garde elements and often using unconventional guitar tunings. Their live performances were known for their raw energy and imaginative improvisation, which you can definitely catch a glimpse of in this Denver show. Fun fact: in the 90s, they were pivotal in shaping the noise rock genre, influencing countless bands while staying true to their unique artistic vision.
