Soundgarden

Soundgarden was right in the thick of their rise to fame during the live recording at Burgerweeshuis in Deventer on May 20, 1989. This show came just after the release of their seminal album, *Louder Than Love*, which dropped in 1989 and marked a pivotal moment for the band. It was their first major label album, showcasing their unique blend of heavy metal, punk rock, and psychedelic elements that would later define the grunge movement. Interestingly, this performance happened just before Soundgarden's breakthrough—their association with the Seattle music scene was beginning to blossom, with frontman Chris Cornell’s haunting vocals already starting to captivate audiences. The live soundboard recording captured the raw energy that fans loved, radiating a sense of anticipation for what was to come. It was an era when the band was still carving their path, hinting at their legendary status that lay just around the corner.
