Soundgarden

In May 2017, when Soundgarden graced the stage at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, they were riding the wave of a career that had seen immense evolution and creativity. Just prior to this live performance, they'd released *King Animal* in 2012, marking their first album in over 15 years since *Down on the Upside* in 1996. This comeback effort showcased their signature blend of heavy riffs and introspective lyrics, blending old-school grunge with matured songwriting. The performance of "Burden In My Hand" during this show, resonating deeply with fans, would be one of the last live recordings featuring the beloved frontman Chris Cornell, who tragically passed away just days after the concert. This recording is not just a testament to Soundgarden’s enduring musical legacy but also serves as a poignant reminder of the emotional weight their songs carried, literally and figuratively, in the lives of their listeners.
