Soundgarden

In September 1989, when Soundgarden performed at the Sheraton-Universal Hotel in Los Angeles, they were riding the wave of their third studio album, "Louder Than Love," which had just dropped a year prior. This album, released in 1989, was a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their melding of heavy metal with more complex, alternative sounds. It's fascinating to note that during this performance, they were gaining momentum in the burgeoning grunge scene, which would explode in the early '90s. The live concert features Jason Everman, who had a brief stint as Nirvana’s second guitarist before joining Soundgarden as their bassist. It's almost poetic, isn’t it? Two future icons of the grunge era intermingling just before the genre took a mainstream turn. That moment captured the zeitgeist of an era ripe for transformation—what an electrifying time to be a music lover!
