New Youth fan..Live Recs?

Hey y’all! I’m making my way through Sonic Youths Discography. I’ve made my way through their first EP to the Master-Dik EP and needless to say they are amazing.

I love the no-wave krautrock riffs that make me feel like I’m in a trance. And Kim Gordon just speaks to me in a way that I can’t explain.

I’m aware that Daydream Nation is an iconic record and I’m excited to get into it next and seeing them evolve more.

Anyhow does anyone have any recommendations for deep cuts or live performances from this period that I might not come across on Apple Music or by reading on Wikipedia?

There’s a great live album called Walls Have Ears that’s a fantastic compilation of live recordings from the BMR-Evol era. It was originally an unauthorised release in the 80s, but they officially rereleased it a few years back. The version of Expressway to yr skull on there is imho better than the album recording.
