Album Review: Live in Brooklyn 2011 by Sonic Youth
Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 8/10
Live in Brooklyn 2011 makes its debut as a physical release after its first appearance as part of a bunch of live recordings that appeared on Sonic Youth's Bandcamp page. That would be a fairly inauspicious way to document the final U.S. show performed by one of America's most important and influential bands. Fortunately, the Silver Current label has righted that wrong and now people that like to actually hold music in their hands can get the recording on vinyl and CD.
Opinion: Fantastic
Photo by Eric Baecht Few people would have known it at the time, but in August 2011 at Brooklyn's Williamsburg Waterfront, Sonic Youth played its final significant show. After 30 years together, the band would split up that November. The concert has been available for a while, but this release of Live in Brooklyn 2011 gives it a proper mastering job, and the sound quality is exceptional.
