Sonic Youth

On July 17, 2009, Sonic Youth delivered an electrifying performance at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis as part of the "LIVE on the Levee" series. This concert came shortly after the release of their album "The Eternal," which debuted in 2009, marking their first studio album since replacing their long-time record label, Geffen, with Matador. The show featured the intense track "Stereo Sanctity," showcasing their characteristic blend of noise rock and experimental sounds. Interestingly, this gig was one of the band's free shows, aiming to bring music directly to the people.
