Mother Love Bone

On September 3, 1989, Mother Love Bone delivered a gripping performance at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. This live recording of 'Bone China' takes us back to a pivotal time in the band's career, just a few months before the release of their debut album, 'Apple,' which would come out in July 1990. At this juncture, Mother Love Bone was gaining traction in the Seattle music scene, part of a burgeoning movement that would later define the grunge genre. Comprising members who would go on to form Pearl Jam and other notable bands, the group was known for its blend of hard rock and glam influences, and this live performance captures their energetic stage presence. Interestingly, this high-energy appearance showcased not only their musical prowess but also the deep emotional resonance their music held, making it a vital piece of their legacy.
