Screaming Trees

In January 1992, Screaming Trees was on the cusp of significant recognition within the 1990s grunge movement, having just released their critically acclaimed album "Sweet Oblivion" later that year. Prior to this live performance of "Nearly Lost You," they had released "Uncle Anesthesia" in 1991, which marked their heightened visibility and showcased their evolution towards a more polished sound. The period surrounding this live recording was tumultuous for the band, particularly for frontman Mark Lanegan, who dealt with personal struggles that were reflected in their music. This specific performance is notable not only for its high energy and the rawness of the vocals but also as a crucial moment in showcasing their ascent in the Seattle music scene, paving the way for future successes and solidifying their influence in alternative rock.
