Chris Cornell and Soundgarden Full Concert Performance in Detroit

Venue: Fox Theatre Location: Detroit, Michigan, United States Date: May 17, 2017

On May 17, 2017, Soundgarden delivered their swan song at Detroit's Fox Theatre, a venue steeped in history. This performance came shortly after the band released their critically acclaimed album, “King Animal,” in 2012. It was their first studio album in over a decade and marked a triumphant return after a lengthy hiatus. Interestingly, the recording captures Chris Cornell’s powerful vocals—an incredible testament to his artistry—as he navigated the complex emotional landscapes of the band's signature sound. Tragically, just days after this performance, Cornell passed away, casting a haunting shadow over the show's legacy. It turned what was meant to be a celebration into a poignant farewell. Many fans now look back at this concert not just as an incredible live recording, but as a bittersweet moment in music history, forever marking the end of an era for alternative rock.
