Soundgarden

In late 2012, when Soundgarden performed at The Fonda Theatre, the band was riding a wave of resurgence after their major comeback. Just a year earlier, they released "King Animal," their first studio album in 16 years, marking a significant return to form. This album is notable not just for its powerful sound but also for how it seamlessly merges the heavy grunge roots fans adore with a fresh perspective. Live performances around this time—like the one captured in the November 27, 2012, recording—showcase how tightly knit the band had become again, fueling their energy on stage. Interestingly, this concert also highlights tracks like "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Spoonman," reminding everyone of their iconic status in the '90s grunge scene. Watching Chris Cornell's impassioned delivery brings chills, a powerful reminder of their profound influence and the deep connection they've maintained with fans, even after so many years.
