By April 29, 1989, the Screaming Trees were in a pivotal stage of their career, having released their debut full-length album, "Sweet Oblivion," just a few months later in 1992. However, prior to this live recording at Cabaret Metro in Chicago, they had released their 1986 debut EP, "Other Worlds," and the 1989 album "Buzz Factory." The performance captures the band at a time when they were still cultivating their sound within the burgeoning grunge movement. Notably, the songs performed in the setlist, such as "Cold Rain" and "Clairvoyance," showcase the band's early blend of psychedelic rock and heavy metal influences, which would later evolve into their more polished sound. This recording becomes a significant snapshot of their artistic journey, illustrating their live energy and solidifying their presence in the alternative rock scene before their breakout success.
