Sonic Youth - Silver Rocket - Live in Prospect Park

Sonic Youth played a free live show on July 31, 2010, and we were there to cover it. From our website, bigasslens.com:
"Ripping through a ton of deep album cuts and otherwise rarely played joints, the youth basically blew the balls off the park with a ridiculously tight set. Watching this band and knowing they've been together for 30 years and seeing them manage to tear it down, never relenting on the freakouts, looking confident and cool as fuck, one can't help but conclude this is the best American rock band of our generation. As a nod to their awesomeness thurston mumbled as an aside "noise gig In bushwick tonight". Nothing more nothing less. Perfect."

@songandletter Thank you for correcting me.....and make me feel old....:0(

[@coldacre]

they are easily the best American band of our generation. there are better bands than Sonic Youth from the last 30 years - but they aren't American! as far as live bands who improvise go..... Sonic Youth are without peer.
