Sonic Youth Live Performance of The Burning Spear at Les Méditerranéennes Festival in Leucate, France

Venue: Méditerranéennes Location: Port Leucate, Occitanie, France Date: August 4, 2008

In August 2008, Sonic Youth performed 'The Burning Spear' live at the Les Méditerranéennes Festival in Leucate, France. This show came just after the release of their album 'The Eternal,' which dropped in June that same year. 'The Eternal' marked a significant moment for the band as it was their first album on their own label, Matador Records, after a long tenure with Geffen. This live performance captures the band's enduring energy and experimental edge, showcasing their post-punk roots and sonic diversity. It's a reminder that, even more than three decades into their career, Sonic Youth was still pushing boundaries on stage, entrancing fans with their unique blend of noise, melody, and art rock.
