Nirvana

By October 1993, when Nirvana performed "Sliver" at the Live And Loud concert in Seattle, the band was at the height of its fame following the release of their groundbreaking album, "Nevermind," which had come out in September 1991 and had catapulted them to mainstream success. The band's third studio album, "In Utero," was released shortly after this performance, in September 1993, showcasing a more raw and less polished sound than its predecessor. This period was marked by a significant transition, as they navigated the pressures of fame and artistic integrity. Interestingly, "Sliver" was not part of "In Utero" but was included in their popular compilation "Incesticide," highlighting their willingness to delve into the grittier, more visceral aspects of their music and performance style. The Live And Loud concert is notable not only for its energetic setlist but also as an iconic moment in the Seattle grunge scene, emphasizing the band's integral role in shaping that era.
