Primal Scream

On March 18, 2000, Primal Scream performed a live concert at the Astoria in London, a pivotal moment in their career following the release of their fifth studio album, "Exterminator." Released in 2000, "Exterminator" marked the band's notable return to a more aggressive and electronic sound, influenced by the events of the late 1990s and the rise of techno and rave cultures. The album features tracks that blend rock with electronic elements, showcasing their evolution from the more classic sound of their earlier work. The live performance captured in the recording highlights the energy and intensity of Primal Scream during this era, featuring songs such as "Swastika Eyes" and "Kill All Hippies," which exemplify their experimentation and push against musical boundaries. Interestingly, this concert occurred during a significant resurgence in their popularity after the critical and commercial success of "Screamadelica," illustrating how the band was able to adapt and evolve.
