After two memorable years of some of the best summer concerts, festivals and film events (many of which were free), McCarren Park Pool is being shut down to be renovated into an actual swimming pool as part of many recent Brooklyn "development" projects. Sadly, like other recent "developments", this one obliterates more art and culture from the community.

At least this one closed out with a bang. Sonic Youth performed the final concert there on Saturday, with some amazing guests: Wolf Eyes, Times New Viking and Vivian Girls. The show was packed out, and I was happy to be a part of it (thanks friends at AEG!).

Here's a few shots from the event, but you should check out the full site on my site - daveywilson.com (click on "The Final Concert At McCarren Park Pool").
