Screaming Trees Full Concert: Live at Charles Town Raceway, WV

Venue: Charles Town Raceway Location: Charles Town, West Virginia, United States Date: July 16, 1996

On July 16, 1996, Screaming Trees performed at the Lollapalooza festival, showcasing a pivotal moment in their career following the release of their acclaimed album "Dust" earlier that year. This album, which was their last studio release before the band went on hiatus, marked a significant evolution in their sound, blending grunge roots with more expansive rock influences. During the performance captured in the live recording, the band played tracks from "Dust," including "Halo of Ashes" and "All I Know," highlighting their ability to marry melodic hooks with lyrical depth. An interesting fact is that this performance occurred shortly before the band's eventual disbandment in 2000, making it a noteworthy representation of their late-career vitality and the influence of frontman Mark Lanegan, whose distinct vocal style was integral to the band’s identity throughout their journey.
