Primal Scream

On August 27, 1994, Primal Scream performed at the Reading Festival, a significant moment in their career as it occurred shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "Give Out But Don't Give Up" in April of that year. This album marked a stylistic shift towards a rock-oriented sound, moving away from their earlier dance and psychedelic influences. The live setlist included tracks like "Movin' On Up" and "Jailbird," which showcase the band's new direction. At this festival, Primal Scream was riding high on the success of their previous single "Rocks," which had become a staple in their live performances. This era was pivotal for the band, as they gained increased recognition and solidified their place in the '90s rock scene, blending elements of rock and dance that would characterize their unique sound. The Reading Festival performance remains a highlight of their live history, reflecting both their evolving musical style and their burgeoning popularity.
