Sonic Youth & Guests Live - 1999-04-01 Bowery Ballroom, New York City, New York - Free Audiobook

The first of a few loose shows between 1999 and 2001 where Sonic Youth ventured fully off into the abstract weirdness they're known for. After short improvisational sets from Lee, Kim, and Thurston 'individually', the band combines to play through a bunch of avant-garde classical numbers - including the world premiere of 'Six for New Time'.
