Brandi Carlile and Soundgarden - Searching With My Good Eye Closed Live at The Gorge Amphitheater
On August 14, 2021, when Brandi Carlile and Soundgarden performed “Searching With My Good Eye Closed” at the iconic Gorge Amphitheater, Soundgarden was riding a wave of resurgence. Just before this live recording, the band had released “Telephantasm” in 2010, a compilation album that celebrated their legacy while reminding audiences why they were at the forefront of grunge in the ‘90s. Interestingly, this particular performance marks a significant moment after the tragic passing of their frontman Chris Cornell in 2017. In the years leading up to this live show, the band revived their connection with fans through various tributes and collaborations, stirring up a nostalgic yet thrilling atmosphere at the Gorge. Soundgarden’s ability to meld their past with a contemporary vibe, especially alongside Brandi Carlile—who shares a deep appreciation for their music—creates an unforgettable blend of nostalgia and fresh emotions, don't you think?
