On March 30, 1998, Sleater-Kinney was in the midst of a significant period in their career, having recently released their acclaimed album *Dig Me Out* in 1997. This album marked their rise in the punk rock and riot grrrl scene, showcasing their distinctive sound and strong feminist themes. The live recording at Tower Records captures the band at a pivotal point, shortly before they launched into their follow-up project, *The Hot Rock*, which was released in 1999. Notably, this performance highlights the band's energetic live presence, which contributed to their reputation as a formidable force in the 90s music landscape. The choice of venue also underscores the DIY ethos associated with the band and their connection to fans, as intimate settings like Tower Records were essential for fostering their grassroots following.
