When Sonic Youth were youth

This is a performance in 1988 of "Silver Rocket", off of 1988's Daydream Nation. Twenty years later, in 2008, Lee Renaldo had gone gray, Steve Shelley had filled out into a typical middle-aged chunky Midwesterner (not fat, but definitely not a slender youth anymore), and Kim Gordon still looked good but was obviously middle-aged. Thurston Moore, on the other hand, still looked like he was 12 years old. And their recent music is great. Not as noisy as their 80's music, but with a musicality they could not have managed in the 80's. I'll have to program some of it for contrast...
