Mother Love Bone

Mother Love Bone was definitely riding a wave of creativity and anticipation around the time of their live recording on August 11, 1988. Hot off the release of their debut album, "Apple," which dropped just a few months prior, the band was quickly gaining momentum in the Seattle music scene. This period saw them fusioning glam rock with grunge—a delightful concoction that would leave a lasting legacy. Interestingly, the live show at Skate King took place shortly before they faced their heartbreaking challenges, most notably the tragic passing of lead singer Andrew Wood in 1990, which profoundly impacted the band's trajectory. This performance captures both the raw energy of the blossoming grunge scene and the unmistakable charisma that Wood brought to the stage, hinting at what could have been had fate played out differently.
