Screaming Trees

During the live recording of "Winter Song" on November 15, 1996, in Essen, Germany, Screaming Trees were undergoing a transitional phase in their career. This performance occurred shortly before the release of their album "Dust," which came out in 1996, marking it as their last studio album before the band went on hiatus. The presence of Josh Homme, known for his work with Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, adds an interesting dynamic to this performance, showcasing the band's connections within the influential grunge and stoner rock scenes of the time. The live setting also captures the raw energy of the band during a period when they were beginning to evolve their sound, blending more elements of hard rock and alternative lyrics, which can be seen in the gravitational pull of "Dust." This concert reflects both the band's legacy and the genres that were flourishing in the mid-90s.
