  On April 9, 1999, Sparklehorse performed a live set at the Double Door in Chicago, showcasing material around the time of their album "Good Morning Spider," which was released in 1998. This album marked a significant period in frontman Mark Linkous's career as it followed his critically acclaimed debut, "Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot" from 1995. The live performance featured a mix of tracks that incorporated the band's signature sound of dreamy melodies intertwined with surreal lyrics. The presence of band members such as Scott Minor, Jonathan Segel, and David Dreiwitz highlights the collaborative spirit during this phase. Notably, Linkous's struggles with mental health often influenced his songwriting, which adds depth to the emotional weight of the live recordings, making this performance not just a showcase of music but a glimpse into the artist's poignant and complex narrative.
