Sonic Youth

In October 2000, Sonic Youth delivered an electrifying performance of 'Brother James' at the Jazz Festival in Rio de Janeiro. This live recording comes just after the release of their acclaimed album, 'Goo,' which came out in 1990, showcasing the band's evolution into the '90s alternative rock scene. By this point, Sonic Youth had already carved a niche for themselves, gaining significant attention and respect in the indie and mainstream music circles. They were known for their experimental sound and innovative guitar techniques, which resonated strongly in live settings. The energy of the crowd at the Museu de Arte Moderna captured the essence of their raw, yet refined, approach to music. Plus, this performance is a testament to their deep connection with the audience, solidifying their status as pioneers of alternative music.
