Soul Asylum

In January 1995, when Soul Asylum performed "Promises Broken" live in Germany, the band was riding high following the success of their major-label breakthrough album, "Grave Dancers Union," released in 1992. This album featured their hit single "Runaway Train," which garnered widespread acclaim and significantly boosted their visibility. By the time of this live recording, the band was promoting their follow-up album, "Let Your Dim Light Shine," released in 1995, which included "Promises Broken" as a lead track. Interestingly, this period marked a transitional phase for Soul Asylum as they sought to solidify their place in the mainstream music scene amidst shifting musical trends. The live performance captured during a time when the band was thriving yet facing the challenges of following up their breakout success provides a compelling look into their resilience and artistic evolution during the mid-1990s.
