Soundgarden Live Performance of Spoonman in Houston, TX
When Soundgarden took the stage at the Bayou Music Center in Houston, TX, on May 24, 2013, they were riding the wave of their comeback following a lengthy hiatus. Just a couple of years prior, in 2012, they released "King Animal," their first studio album in over a decade. This album marked their return to form, showcasing their signature blend of heavy riffs and intricate melodies—elements that first captivated fans in the ‘90s. Interesting tidbit: "Spoonman," the song featured in this live recording, originally hails from their iconic 1994 album "Superunknown." That track, along with others from their back catalog, delivered a nostalgic punch for longtime fans while also reflecting their evolution as artists. The concert was a thrilling moment for both the band and their audience, a joyful circle back to the core of their musical journey, making it clear that Soundgarden was still very much alive and kicking in the rock scene.
