Morphine

In December 1990, Morphine was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed debut album, "Good," released just months prior. This live recording showcases their signature blend of jazz, rock, and alternative vibes, highlighted by Mark Sandman’s distinctive one-string slide bass. It's fascinating to note that the band's unconventional lineup—consisting of bass, saxophone, and drums—sets them apart in the early '90s music scene. During this particular concert at The Middle East Club in Cambridge, the energy is palpable, and you can almost feel the crowd embracing their unique sound. This period marked a pivotal moment for Morphine, as they began to carve out a niche that would resonate with fans and influence many artists in the alternative genre.
