  In January 1992, during the time of the live recording at BBC 2, Sugar was riding the wave of their debut album "Copper Blue," which was released just a few months prior, in September 1992. This album gained significant acclaim and established the band as a significant force in the alternative rock scene, showcasing their melodic and dynamic sound. The live performance of "Helpless" on the BBC 2 stage highlighted the band's energetic stage presence and the raw essence of their music, which was a departure from the grunge and punk influences of the early '90s. Interestingly, Sugar was fronted by Bob Mould, previously of Hüsker Dü, which brought a level of anticipation and attention to the band, especially following the underground success of their former group. This performance encapsulated Sugar's transition into a prominent act in indie rock, setting the stage for their continued evolution in the music landscape.
