Morphine

In this electrifying 1996 live performance at New York's Westbeth Theatre Center, Morphine showcased their unique sound just after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Cure for Pain' from 1993. This album, often associated with their signature 'low rock' style blending jazz, rock, and blues, solidified their place in the alternative music scene. By the time of this recording, the band had already garnered a loyal following, driven by their innovative instrumentation, featuring the mesmerizing baritone saxophone. Fans can hear an impressive lineup of songs, including 'Honey White' and the haunting 'The Saddest Song,' which capture the emotional depths that Morphine was known for. Interesting tidbit: this concert happened just two years before the tragic passing of frontman Mark Sandman, forever altering the band's trajectory and leaving a lasting legacy on the music world.
