Galaxie 500

On June 22, 1990, Galaxie 500 performed 'Ceremony' live at the Glastonbury Festival, marking a pivotal moment in their career amidst a burgeoning indie scene. Just prior to this performance, they had released their second album, 'On Fire,' in 1989, which showcased their signature dream pop sound infused with melancholic melodies. The live recording captures a raw energy, highlighting the band's distinct style and the increasing popularity of their music, even as they were relatively underground. Interestingly, their collaboration with Kramer, a formidable figure in the music scene, added a unique layer to their sound during this performance. While the weather was notoriously muddy that week, it didn't dampen the spirited essence of their set, reminding fans of the unpredictability of live shows—a wild juxtaposition to their ethereal recordings.
