In November 1997, when the Misfits performed at the First Avenue Club in Minneapolis, they were in a transitional phase of their career. At this point, they had recently released their album "American Psycho" in 1997, marking a significant comeback after a prolonged hiatus. This album was notable for its polished production and included songs that showcased the band’s evolution from their punk roots to a more accessible, alternative metal sound. The live performance of "Green Hell" during this era is particularly interesting, as it highlighted the band's ability to blend their trademark horror punk aesthetic with the newer musical direction. Additionally, this show is part of the first tour since the band's reformation in 1995 with a lineup that included singer Michale Graves, emphasizing their re-establishment in the punk scene after years of lineup changes and a dormant period.
