  In January 1990, when Soul Asylum performed live at First Avenue in Minneapolis, they were riding the wave of their growing popularity. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "And the Horse They Rode In On," which came out in 1989 and featured tracks that showcased their distinctive blend of rock and punk influences. This live recording captures the band's raw energy during a pivotal moment in their career, just before they would reach commercial success with their critically acclaimed album "Grave Dancers Union" in 1992. Notably, Soul Asylum's deep roots in the Minneapolis music scene made venues like First Avenue significant for their development as artists. The band's connection to this historic venue adds a layer of cultural importance to the recording, celebrating both their local origins and the broader impact they would later have on alternative rock.
