Soundgarden

In 2017, when Soundgarden took the stage at the Westfair Amphitheater in Council Bluffs, they were well into a thrilling resurgence in their career. Just a few years earlier, they released "King Animal" in 2012, which marked their first studio album in over 15 years. This comeback album not only reignited fans' love for their iconic grunge sound but also showcased their evolving artistry, blending familiar elements with fresh perspectives. The live recording of "Outshined" during this performance highlights not just the band's commitment to live music but also Chris Cornell's exceptional vocal prowess, which remained as powerful as ever. Tragically, this concert was part of their last tour before Cornell's untimely passing just a year later, lending a bittersweet layer to the memory of that night. Fans who gathered that evening likely felt the weight of the moment, knowing they were witnessing a legendary band at a pivotal point in their storied history.
