Mother Love Bone

Before the live recording from July 4, 1988, Mother Love Bone had already established themselves with their debut EP, 'Shine,' released earlier that year. This EP laid the groundwork for their signature blend of glam rock and grunge, akin to a sonic bridge between the two worlds. The performance at The Vogue in Seattle captures the band at a pivotal moment, showcasing their dynamic energy and raw talent just as their profile was beginning to rise in the burgeoning Seattle music scene. Interestingly, the live rendition of 'Stargazer' highlights Andrew Wood's charismatic stage presence and emotional depth, which became a hallmark of their sound. This performance would soon resonate within the legacy of '90s rock, paving the way for future grunge icons.
