  On October 7, 1988, Screaming Trees performed at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago, a pivotal point in their career as they were on the cusp of mainstream recognition. This live recording occurred shortly after the release of their second studio album, "Something About Today," which came out in 1989, and featured a blend of alternative rock and grunge that would later define the Seattle sound. At this time, they were gaining traction in the burgeoning grunge scene, sharing stages with prominent acts and building a dedicated fan base. An interesting aspect of this era is that Screaming Trees, along with other bands, were already influencing the music landscape before the release of their breakthrough album, "Sweet Oblivion," in 1992. The performance captured in this recording highlights their raw energy and lyrical depth, showcasing the band's evolution and foreshadowing their future successes.
