Soundgarden

In the heart of 2017, as Soundgarden took the stage at Detroit's historic Fox Theatre on May 17, they were riding high on a wave of nostalgia and legacy. This particular live recording of "Burden in My Hand" came two years after the release of their acclaimed album "King Animal" in 2012, which marked their first new studio effort in over 16 years. "King Animal" was a testament to their enduring artistry, introducing a blend of raw energy and melodic depth that fans had long awaited. It's worth noting that this concert occurred shortly before the tragic passing of frontman Chris Cornell in May 2017, which casts the performance—and indeed, their entire catalog—into a profound light. The Fox Theatre, with its stunning architecture, provided an intimate backdrop for this electrifying moment, making it all the more special as it captured a band that had been pivotal in shaping the grunge era, while also celebrating their continued relevance in rock music.
