Morphine

In the live recording of 'Have A Lucky Day' from May 25, 1994, Morphine showcased their distinctive sound at the NOB radiostudio in the Netherlands. This performance came shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Cure for Pain' in 1993, which solidified their unique blend of alternative rock and jazz influences, thanks largely to Mark Sandman's innovative two-string slide bass technique. The intimacy of this session at Bullet Sound Studios allowed the trio—Sandman on bass, Dana Colley on bari sax, and Billy Conway on drums—to captivate the audience with their atmospheric soundscapes. Interestingly, this era marked a high point in Morphine's career, contributing to their cult status in the alternative music scene. It’s fascinating to think how live work like this helped shape their legacy, inviting listeners into their smoky, deep grooves and haunting melodies.
