  In January 1992, when Soul Asylum performed at the WFPK Performance Studio, they were riding the wave of commercial success following the release of their acclaimed album, "Grave Dancers Union," which came out later that year in September. This album marked a significant point in their career, featuring hits like "Runaway Train," which would eventually garner them a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. The live performance showcases the band's energetic sound and frontman Dave Pirner's charismatic stage presence, which contributed to their rising fame during the grunge era. The relationship between Pirner and actress Winona Ryder also attracted media attention, enhancing the band's profile during this period. This performance reflects a pivotal moment in Soul Asylum's journey from a prominent alternative rock band to mainstream recognition.
