Just days into Soundgarden’s stint on the second-ever Lollapalooza in 1992, the Seattle four-piece surprised fans with a cover of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.
On July 22, 1992, the band played at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton, which is a short hop over the Puget Sound from their Washington hometown. The bill featured headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam and Lush. Temple of the Dog – the grunge supergroup for which Cornell sang on their self-titled debut – and Rage Against The Machine performed on the side stage throughout the tour.
