Soundgarden

In July 1992, Soundgarden was riding a wave of success following the release of their landmark album, "Badmotorfinger," which came out just nine months earlier. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their signature blend of heavy metal and grunge—a sound that was becoming the hallmark of the Seattle music scene. Their performance at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds as part of Lollapalooza not only highlighted their popularity but also their raw energy on stage. Interestingly, this was during a time when they were infusing their setlist with tracks from "Badmotorfinger," like "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage," which were quickly becoming fan favorites. The live recording captures the band's intensity and charisma, showcasing how they were not just part of the grunge movement but were helping to define it. It's fascinating to think about how this era solidified Soundgarden's place in rock history, setting the stage for future hits and a legacy that still resonates today.
