Meanwhile, Soundgarden have also released a free download to members of their mailing list.

The live version of ‘Spoonman’ was recorded back in 1996 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego. It was recorded onto two track tape, as with all of the other live shows on the band’s 1996 tour, but had until now been forgotten about.

In the email sent to fans they hint that the live material they have may be used for a live album at some point in the future.

Stay tuned to Planet Rock and we may just give the song an airing at some point in the next few days...
