(Photo: Soundgarden @ Jones Beach, NY - July 9, 2011 | Photo Credit: Jeffgarden.com)

Hey now!
I’m just as surprised as you to see an update here! Sorry? Can’t get rid of “us” that easy…

Here’s an audio bootleg that was kindly sent to me by someone whose name I rudely forgot. At least the tracks have some limited credit given in the attached text.

What do you want from me!?

Anyway…here you go, enjoy some live Soundgarden audio

(Note: the text between this line and the start of the actual tracks is from the bootleg itself. So if you have any questions about any of it, you're on your own). Scroll down for stream and download links. Wav and MP3 formats! Jeez, you guys are so lucky to have a 25 year old website that updates once every few years.  You're welcome.

Notes:
Compilation of audience recordings from around the King Animal tours circa 2012-13.
Bootlegs originally sourced from torrents but have been ripped from my cdr's so that step has been added to the lineage -
I know some people are particular about these things hence the mention!

Most important criteria was sound quality - there are likely better performances on inferior recordings (such as my own Dublin recording), but is it worth it?
Several of these songs have soundboard versions circulating but I wanted this bootleg to be as cohesive as possible so everything's audience sourced here.
Also, only songs ever performed from 2010 onwards are included. Older songs are on CD2.
Note that the 3 older songs (BD, T&T, ZC) were never played live on Soundgarden's original 1984-1997 run.
I reduced the bass and increased the treble on 'Halfway There' and 'Zero Chance', but didn't touch any of the other tracks apart from adding fades.

Chris Cornell: "MY son, this time... Mike McCready - well at least we're both Irish!"

Notes:

Compilation of audience recordings (older songs only) from across the bands reformation years, from the first gig (2010) to the last tour (2017).

Bootlegs originally sourced from torrents but have been ripped from my cdr's so that step has been added to the lineage -

I know some people are particular about these things hence the mention!

Most important criteria was sound quality - there are likely better performances on inferior recordings (such as my own Dublin recording), but is it worth it?

I also left off any songs which were on the "Live on I-5" album, as well as 'Gun' and 'Beyond the Wheel' as their Showbox versions were officially released.

No Superunknown songs either as there's a circulating soundboard of that album played in full from Austin, TX in 2014 - that in itself could be considered CD3!

Volume boosted on tracks 16-18 and fades added to all tracks in Audacity.
