The Breeders Live at Reading Festival, Performances of Iris and Cannonball

Venue: Little John's Farm Location: Reading, England, United Kingdom Date: August 29, 1993

In 1993, The Breeders were riding high on the success of their landmark album "Last Splash," which had dropped earlier that same year. This was the album that cemented their place in the '90s alternative rock scene, thanks in part to hits like "Cannonball" and "Divine Hammer." The live performance at the Reading Festival on August 29, 1993, showcased the band's raw energy and distinctive sound, capturing a pivotal moment right as they were breaking into the mainstream. An interesting tidbit about this era is that the band's lineup featured Kim Deal and her twin sister Kelley, which added layers to their dynamic both on and off stage. The performance, while not complete, reflects a band at the height of their creative powers, thrilling fans with a mix of grunge and melodic pop.\n\nWatching this set, you can feel the electric atmosphere of the festival, as thousands of fans embraced their unique style.
