Screaming Trees

On November 15, 1996, when Screaming Trees performed live in Essen, Germany, they were in a transitional phase following the release of their album "Dust" in 1996. "Dust," which was their last studio album before a prolonged hiatus, marked a departure from their earlier sound, incorporating more atmospheric elements and reflecting the band's evolution within the grunge and alternative rock landscape. The performance featured Josh Homme, known for his work with Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, highlighting the band's connections to the broader rock community of the time. Notably, this era was significant as it coincided with the decline of grunge's mainstream appeal and the band's subsequent dissolution in 2000, making this live recording a compelling artifact of a pivotal moment in their career.
