Soundgarden

In 2013, when Soundgarden took the stage in Houston, they were in a vibrant resurgence of their musical journey. This show came just a year after the release of their critically acclaimed album *King Animal* in 2012, marking their first studio album in over 16 years. Ah, what a come-back! Tracks like “Been Away Too Long” and “Black Rain” from that album signified their profound return to form, blending grunge angst with that signature heavy sound that made them legendary. Interestingly, this live recording showcases the band’s raw energy and solidifies their standing as grunge pioneers, delivering a nostalgic vibe for long-time fans while attracting newer audiences. The setlist also highlights their remarkable ability to weave through their hits—from the explosive opening with “Spoonman” to the intense “Jesus Christ Pose.” It’s a reminder of both their impact on the scene and an exciting chapter in their storied career.
