Soul Asylum

On February 19, 1986, when Soul Asylum performed live at The Sherwood Country Club in Indianapolis, they were riding the wave of their evolving sound and gaining traction in the alternative rock scene. Prior to this recording, they released their album “Say What You Will… Everything Can Happen,” which came out in 1986, the same year as the live performance. This album showcased their early grit and established their presence within the genre. The band's lineup at this time included vocalist Dave Pirner, bassist Karl Mueller, and drummer Grant Young, with guitarist Dan Murphy. An interesting aspect of this era is that the group was still relatively under the radar compared to their later successes, such as the breakthrough album "Grave Dancers Union" in 1992. This live recording highlights the raw energy and passion that Soul Asylum delivered in their performances, a crucial element that would later contribute to their rise in popularity.
