Venue: Side Door Location: St. Louis, Missouri, United States Date: May 7, 1997

In May 1997, Sleater-Kinney was riding high on the wave of their album 'Call the Doctor,' which had been released just a year prior. This live recording captures the raw energy and punk spirit that defined their early sound, showcasing their fierce live performances that fans had come to love. It's interesting to note that this was a pivotal time for the band, as they were gaining traction in the riot grrrl movement, known for its feminist themes and DIY ethic. The Side Door in St. Louis served as an intimate backdrop for this jam, highlighting their grassroots appeal. This era also marked the beginning of their journey towards greater recognition, setting the stage for future albums that would further cement their legacy in indie rock.
