  In 2010, when Sonic Youth performed live at the Matador at 21 event in Las Vegas, they were celebrating the 21st anniversary of their landmark label, Matador Records. This period in their career followed the release of their album "The Eternal," which came out in June 2009 and was their final studio album before their hiatus. This live performance highlights a setlist that features a mix of classic tracks alongside cuts from "The Eternal," showcasing the band's enduring influence on alternative rock and their continued evolution as artists. Notably, "Death Valley '69," one of the key tracks performed, exemplifies their pioneering noise rock style that has inspired countless musicians. The choice of songs reflects both nostalgia for their extensive catalog and excitement for their contemporary work, indicating their commitment to both their legacy and current artistic expressions.
