Soundgarden Live Performance at CenturyLink Field Featuring NFL Kickoff
On September 4, 2014, Soundgarden took the stage at CenturyLink Field in Seattle for a performance that was not just electrifying but also deeply poignant, given that it was one of Chris Cornell's last major appearances before his tragic passing in 2017. At this point in their career, the band had just released "King Animal" in 2012, marking their first studio album in 16 years. This comeback album was met with enthusiasm, revitalizing their iconic grunge sound while showcasing their evolution as artists. Their live performance at the NFL Kickoff event injected a sense of nostalgia, celebrating a legacy that spanned decades, filled with hits like "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman." It was a moment that united fans, reflected their Seattle roots, and paid subtle homage to Cornell’s deeply emotive vocal style, making it all the more special. The victory of the Seahawks that night also added a victorious vibe, proving to be a remarkable opening to the football season.
