Morphine

In October 1994, Morphine was rocking the world with their unique sound, blending rock, jazz, and a bit of grunge in their live performance at Shibuya ON AIR WEST in Tokyo. This was right after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Cure for Pain,' which had come out in 1993 and showcased their signature two-string slide bass, drums, and saxophone format. The band was gaining momentum, playing in front of passionate audiences and honing their craft on stage. An interesting tidbit? Despite their growing success, Morphine often flew under the mainstream radar, cultivating a dedicated cult following. This concert captures the raw energy and vibe of a band on the brink of wider recognition, making it both a special moment in their career and a piece of musical history.
