First sonic Youth show was August 14, 2004, four days after my birthday. The red soxs were playing, so my dad had to take a different way through. We also decided we should get some dinner before we went to the show. The combination of the two made us late, but it was only by 3 songs. I got there in the middle of Mote, and when I heard Lee singing I got more excited than I had ever been in my life. Time literally stood still as I was swept up by the feedback and melodies, and Steve, Jim and Kim pounded rhythms into my heart. They had to end the show earlier as the clubbers had to come in, and Thurston commented on how his second concert ever was Peter Frampton, and how to stick around for "The sick disco afterwards..."
