Soundgarden

In July 2011, when Soundgarden rocked the Gorge Amphitheatre with their live rendition of "4th of July," the band was in a vibrant phase of their career, having reunited in 2010 after a lengthy hiatus. Just prior to this performance, they released "Telephantasm" in 2010, a compilation album that celebrated their legacy and included the new track “Black Rain.” This marked a significant moment, rekindling the band's presence in the music scene and allowing fans old and new to experience their iconic sound. Interestingly, "4th of July" originally appeared on their 1994 album "Superunknown," which propelled them into mainstream success and is often regarded as a hallmark of 90s rock. Performing in such a stunning venue added to the electrifying atmosphere, highlighting their enduring ability to connect with audiences, even years after their initial breakthrough. Soundgarden's performance that night was more than just nostalgia; it was a celebration of their evolution and resilience as a band.
