Rolling Stone reports:
Things got super-heavy on night three of the inaugural iTunes Festival at SXSW in Austin last night, as Soundgarden dove back into the thundering grooves of 1994’s Superunknown, performing the career-defining album in full for the first time. It was a lesson in grunge at its prime, delivered with swagger and Chris Cornell’s perfectly unhinged wail, still as piercing and musical as ever.
…
The sound was dark and slippery, and in 2014 seemed as tough and timeless as key hard rock influences Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.
Here’s the video for “My Wave.”

Thanks, Chris! I’ve watched it twice, being the crazed Soundgarden fan that I am. It was amazing. I was especially pleased to see/hear “Limo Wreck” performed live for the first time; it is one of my favorite Soundgarden songs. The band was intense, the music thundering, and Cornell was in exceptional form, not just hitting the high notes, but delivering everything with an impressive focus.
