+LIVE+ broke onto the scene in 1991 with the release of their major label debut, Mental Jewelry. Produced by Talking Heads’ Jerry Harrison, the album not only introduced a bold new voice in alternative rock, but moved more than 1 million copies in the United States—earning Platinum certification, With searing tracks like “Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)” (Top 10 on U.S. Modern Rock), “Pain Lies on the Riverside,” and “Beauty of Grey,” +LIVE+ delivered raw emotion, spiritual depth, and virtuosic funk-inflected elements that would become their signature sound. More than three decades on, Mental Jewelry remains a foundational work still stirring hearts and garnering a whole new generation of fans for the band.
