Morphine

In May 1994, Morphine delivered a mesmerizing live performance at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado, right around the release of their acclaimed album "Cure for Pain." This album was the band’s second studio release, showcasing their signature blend of jazz, rock, and blues-infused sound. The recording captures the unique instrumentation featuring Mark Sandman's iconic two-string slide bass, along with Dana Colley's baritone sax, which created a moody and atmospheric vibe beloved by fans. Interestingly, "Cure for Pain" was a pivotal moment for Morphine, as it solidified their distinct style and broadened their fan base. The live show also reflects the band’s raw energy and improvisational skills, perfecting a sound that many would later describe as a 'low rock' phenomenon. This performance immortalized their innovative approach, setting the stage for their legacy in the alt-rock sphere.
