Morphine

In May 1994, Morphine was riding high on the success of their album 'Cure for Pain,' which had been released just a year earlier. The band was gaining traction in the alternative rock scene, carving out a distinctive sound with their innovative use of saxophones and slide bass. This performance at the Pinkpop Festival represents a pivotal moment for Morphine, showcasing their ability to captivate large crowds with their unique blend of jazz and rock. Interestingly, this festival was one of their significant European appearances, giving them exposure to a broader audience that would soon grow devoted to their music. Their live rendition of 'Candy' during the set perfectly encapsulated their raw energy and distinctive style, a reminder of the band's influence in the '90s alternative scene.
