The band had already struck gold with hits like "Alive" and "Jeremy," quickly cementing their status in the grunge scene alongside Nirvana and Soundgarden. This live recording, captured at the "Drop in the Park" concert in their hometown of Seattle, represents a moment of both celebration and burgeoning fame for the band. Interestingly, it was one of their first major headlining performances, solidifying their connection to the local audience. The setlist included fan favorites like "Even Flow," "Black," and "Porch," showcasing their raw energy and emotional depth.
