Soundgarden - Live From The Artists Den 4LP (Colored Vinyl)

On February 17, 2013, Soundgarden concluded a sold-out U.S. Winter tour in support of King Animal, their first studio album in over sixteen years, with a special Live from the Artists Den taping at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA. Soundgarden mixed new songs with classic radio hits and rarities performed live for the first time in front of a rapturous crowd. The concert has become the all-time most requested Soundgarden live show for an official release.

The 29 song-show comprising almost two and a half hours, encompasses the band's rich musical legacy, spanning their early years with "Hunted Down," through their monumental albums Badmotorfinger and Superunknown respectively with "Outshined" and "Black Hole Sun," and to their final record, with nearly every song from King Animal including "By Crooked Steps" and "Been Away Too Long." Live from the Artists Den features 17 songs which are making their first appearance on a live album, and is highlighted by "Blind Dogs," which the band performed on stage for the first time ever at the Wiltern show.

Speaking about Live from the Artists Den, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil said, "We were very proud and excited to document the performance of our new material from King Animal, and to celebrate with each other and our fans." Six years following the original taping, Artists Den issues Soundgarden: Live from the Artists Den as a colored 180g vinyl 4LP-set with slipcase packaging holding four individual jackets which link together to form one large image and a two-panel insert.
