Live In Brooklyn 2011 Sonic Youth

On August 12, 2011 Sonic Youth played their final US show on an outdoor stage overlooking the East River at the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn. Fitting that their storied career would bookend with a panoramic view of New York City where it all began 30 years before, having left in their wake one of one of the most powerfully influential careers in rock music. As the sun went down over the city, Sonic Youth ripped through a 17 song set that spanned from deep cuts off their first studio album and highlighting many other albums all the way through to their last, like a band with everything to prove.

The band would go on to fulfill a contracted festival run in South America a few months later but, by then, the group's center was severed beyond repair and the festival appearances didn't hold the same kind of weight.

Newly remixed and remastered, Live in Brooklyn 2011 is presented for the first time on vinyl and CD.
