    In January 1996, when The Lemonheads performed their cover of Oasis's "Live Forever," they were at a notable point in their career, having just released their album "It's a Shame About Ray" in 1992, which significantly raised their profile in the alternative rock scene. By 1996, the band was transitioning into a new phase with the release of "It's All True," an album that reflected their evolving sound and featured a mix of originals and covers. This live recording from 1996 showcases their ability to reinterpret popular songs while maintaining their signature melodic angst. Interestingly, the performance illustrates their connection to the burgeoning Britpop movement, as they were engaging with a contemporary British rock band at a time when both groups were influencing the alternative music landscape. The live cover serves as a testament to The Lemonheads' eclectic influences and their position within the 90s rock scene.
