Soundgarden

Back in February 1988, when Soundgarden played that electrifying show at Club Lingerie, they were in a pivotal moment of their early career. Just a year prior, they had released **"Louder Than Love,"** which marked their first major label album and showcased their grunge-infused sound that would later captivate the world. It's kind of wild to think that at this point, they were still a couple of years away from their iconic breakthrough with **"Badmotorfinger."** The performance of **“Smokestack Lightning”** in this intimate venue highlights their raw energy and musicianship, as they led the charge in the Seattle grunge scene. Interestingly, this live recording captures the band feeling their way through the evolving sound that would later define a generation. You can almost feel the excitement in the air, as both the band and the audience were on the brink of something monumental. It’s moments like this that remind us just how passionate and innovative these musicians were—and still are.
