Primal Scream

During the Glastonbury Festival performance on June 28, 2003, where Primal Scream played "Swastika Eyes," the band was riding high on the success of their album "Evil Heat," which had been released the previous year, in 2002. This album marked a continuation of their exploration into blending rock with electronic elements, a signature that had evolved since their seminal 1991 album, "Screamadelica." Notably, "Swastika Eyes" features an aggressive sound with politically charged lyrics, indicative of the band’s capacity for provocation and social commentary. By 2003, Primal Scream had secured a reputation for their energetic live performances, making their Glastonbury set a significant moment in their career, showcasing their dynamic stage presence and the potency of their recent material. The live recording captures the band's ability to engage the audience, emblematic of their status as a vital force in the British rock scene at that time.
