Soundgarden Live Performance of Spoonman at Lollapalooza in Chicago
When Soundgarden took the stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 7, 2010, they were riding the resurgence of their career after reuniting in 2010, marking a significant chapter in their journey. Prior to their performance, the band had released “King Animal” in late 2012, an album that not only showcased their signature grunge sound but also introduced a new generation to their music. This Lollapalooza set was memorable not only for the electric energy of the crowd but also because it featured "Spoonman," a track that harks back to their 1994 album “Superunknown.” Interestingly, “Spoonman” was one of the songs that catapulted them into mainstream success during the '90s. The live recording captures the band’s raw intensity and camaraderie, reminding fans of the chemistry that initially set them apart in the burgeoning grunge scene. It’s a fascinating marker of their legacy and ongoing impact in the rock landscape.
