AllMusic[1]

Hold That Tiger is a live album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, recorded at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago on October 14, 1987. It featured songs from the album Sister.[2][3] It was released on vinyl in 1991, with a CD release in 1998. The actual tape of the live recording was sped up to fit vinyl and was not slowed down for the following CD re-issue: the pitch error was not corrected until the official digital release of the concert on the band's bandcamp.

Reception

[edit]

Writing for AllMusic, Brian Flota said, "Sonic Youth is on safe ground here, not indulging themselves in the guitar freakouts that they frequently showcase during their live sets".[1]
