  In January 1997, when the live recording of "Dying Days" took place, Screaming Trees was at a transitional point in their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their 1996 album, *Dust*, which marked a critical juncture for the band, as it was their last studio album before an extended hiatus. *Dust* showcased a more polished sound and included standout tracks that represented their blend of grunge and alternative rock.
