  In November 2011, during their performance at the SWU Music & Arts Festival in Brazil, Sonic Youth was touring in support of their album "The Eternal," which was released in 2009. This was a significant period for the band as "The Eternal" marked their first release on their own label, SYR, and was well-received both critically and commercially, reinforcing their status as pioneers in the alternative rock scene. The setlist from the festival performance highlights a mix of tracks that showcase their diverse sound, including classics like "Death Valley '69" and newer material such as "Sacred Trickster." Notably, this live recording captures Sonic Youth's distinctive blend of noise rock and experimental music, characteristic of their influential style while they were still actively creating and performing before their hiatus beginning in 2011.
