  By June 26, 1992, when The Breeders performed "Doe" live at Glastonbury, they were on the rise due to the success of their debut album, "Pod," released in 1990. The Breeders, formed by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses, had garnered significant attention for their unique sound, blending elements of alternative rock and indie pop. The Glastonbury performance was part of a pivotal period in their career, as they were promoting "Last Splash," their second album, which would be released later in 1993. This live recording stands out not only as a snapshot of the band’s early live energy but also as a prelude to their mainstream breakthrough, particularly with the hit single "Cannonball" from "Last Splash." The Breeders’ history of shifting line-ups and their association with influential bands of the era resonates through this performance, further emphasizing their role in the alternative rock scene of the early '90s.
