The Breeders Live Performance in Chicago at Metro Featuring Sonic Ecstasy
At the time of this 1993 live recording at Metro in Chicago, The Breeders were riding high on the success of their album 'Last Splash,' which was released just weeks earlier in August of that year. This album included their breakout hit 'Cannonball,' which helped establish them as a significant force in the alternative rock scene. The live performance captures the band's electrifying energy, showcasing a mix of their gritty sound that resonated with fans. Interestingly, during this phase, the group was characterized by its uniquely intertwined member dynamics, featuring Kim Deal and her twin sister Kelley, which contributed to their distinct sound. With 'Last Splash' catapulting them to wider recognition, the Chicago concert is a moment where raw talent met the budding fame that would define their career.
