Sonic Youth performs Daydream Nation

I probably was 17 when I first listened to Daydream Nation. I think it was my second Sonic Youth record after Evol. The influence Sonic Youth had in my late teenage years was definitive. It was the years I discovered bands like Dinosaur Jr, Yo la Tengo, Pavement, Beat Happening, Sebadoh and other American bands that marked my musical development and the general music development of the late 80s and first 90s. And now I had the opportunity to travel back in time and go to a concert to celebrate that I'm older and these times that I was in my parent's flat listening non-stop to these records will never come back. But the amazing thing of it all is that the sensation of Deja Vu was not as huge as I thought it would be. Maybe because the record got older so well, maybe because Sonic Youth did a pact with the Devil and they look younger than they are or maybe because most of the public in the concert was around my age. It was a nice experience.
