Morphine

In June 1995, Morphine was carving out a unique niche in the alt-rock landscape, just a year after releasing their acclaimed album "Cure for Pain" in 1993. This live performance at the Glastonbury Festival showcases the band's distinctive sound, blending jazz and rock elements with Mark Sandman's haunting baritone and innovative two-string slide bass. By this time, Morphine was beginning to build a loyal following, and the festival stage provided a perfect platform to expose their music to new audiences. Interestingly, the band’s live shows were known for their captivating energy, pulling fans into immersive experiences. The songs performed, like "Honey White" and "Radar," resonate with the rawness and emotion that define Morphine. It's fascinating to think about how this performance played a role in solidifying their legacy in the 90s alternative scene.
