Soundgarden - Outshined Live at CNE Grandstand, Toronto, Ontario

Venue: CNE Grandstand Location: Toronto, ON, Canada Date: August 13, 1993

Soundgarden was riding a wave of rising fame in the early '90s, especially around the time of their live recording “Outshined” at the CNE Grandstand in Toronto on August 13, 1993. This concert came just after the band had released their landmark album, "Superunknown," which hit shelves in March 1994, catapulting them into the limelight of the grunge scene. Interestingly, "Superunknown" featured hits like "Black Hole Sun" and “Spoonman,” solidifying their distinct fusion of heavy metal and alternative rock. Two years prior, they had already made significant inroads with the album "Badmotorfinger," which carved out their signature sound. The 1993 show captures not only their musical prowess but also the raw energy of a band that was about to become a massive influence in rock. Let’s not forget that this performance, with Chris Cornell's powerful vocals, was part of a crucial moment in their career, leading up to the iconic success of the '90s.
