In January 1990, Soundgarden was in a pivotal phase of their career, having released their iconic album "Louder Than Love" just a few months prior in September 1989. This album marked a significant moment in the band's evolution, showcasing their unique blend of heavy metal and alternative rock, and helping to establish them as key figures in the burgeoning grunge movement. The live performance in Germany captures the raw energy and burgeoning popularity of the band during this time, featuring tracks like "Loud Love" and "Gun," which exemplify their heavier sound. Interestingly, the concert also includes a cover of "Jesus Is Just Alright," showcasing their willingness to incorporate diverse influences into their live repertoire. By this stage, Soundgarden had begun to gain traction in the underground scene, setting the stage for their eventual breakthrough with "Badmotorfinger" a few years later.
