Soundgarden Live Performance of Searching With my Good Eye at Lollapalooza

Venue: Lollapalooza Location: Chicago, IL, United States Date: August 7, 2010

In 2010, Soundgarden was making a grand return to the music scene after a long hiatus, having disbanded in 1997. The live recording of “Searching With My Good Eye Closed” from Lollapalooza on August 7 showcases the band’s electrifying comeback, just ahead of the release of their sixth studio album, "King Animal," which hit the shelves in late 2012. This performance not only marked their first appearance at Lollapalooza but also revived interest in their signature grunge sound that had defined a generation. The excitement was palpable, as fans welcomed back frontman Chris Cornell, whose haunting vocals and magnetic stage presence drew the crowd in like a moth to a flame. It’s fascinating to note how this live recording captured a moment of resurgence for Soundgarden, reminding everyone why they were essential in the ‘90s rock landscape while echoing hints of nostalgia for their earlier hits. This performance was more than just a gig; it was a powerful reunion.
