SOUNDGARDEN - LIVE ON I-5 (2LP)

Soundgarden Live On I-5 on 2LP

Seattle Alternative Hard-Rock Pioneers' First Live Album Captured from 1996 Tour

Recorded on 2" Analog Tape Via Mobile 24-Track Machine: Excellent Sonics

Live On I-5, a reference to Interstate 5 which runs up and down the West Coast, is a welcome new Soundgarden collection that compiles live tracks from a leg of their 1996 tour. This carefully selected compilation includes fan favorites like "Spoonman," "Rusty Cage," "Burden In My Hand" and "Black Hole Sun" performed by Chris Cornell solo, as well as a definitive live performance of "Jesus Christ Pose." As a bonus, the collection also includes two brilliantly inspired covers: The Beatles "Helter Skelter" and The Stooges anarchic proto-punk classic, "Search & Destroy."

Soundgarden took recording engineer, Adam Kasper with them on the West Coast leg of this particular tour, the first time they ever recorded any live shows. They rented a mobile 24-track machine/truck and recorded the gigs on 2" tape. The band had always intended to release it as a live record soon after the tour, but alas, they disbanded and the tapes were left in the closet of Studio X in Seattle, until now.
