The performance took place as the Seattle Seahawks went up against the New England Patriots at Lumen Field in their hometown of Seattle, Washington.
Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd played ‘Outshined’ and ‘Spoonman’ with The Pretty Reckless‘ frontwoman Momsen on vocals, with Pearl Jam‘s McCready on guitar.
The musicians were also joined at the live event by the Seahawks’ drumline, Blue Thunder, while McCready also delivered a pre-game rendition of the US national anthem.
As Consequence notes, fans who were hoping to watch the Soundgarden set were disappointed when NBC failed to broadcast the performance as part of its coverage. The channel reportedly focused on halftime analysis instead.

Soundgarden had announced their involvement in the halftime show last month. Prior to this, the group’s surviving members last performed live when Soundgarden were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame late last year. They appeared at the ceremony alongside Chris Cornell‘s daughter, Lily, as well as Momsen and McCready.
The Pretty Reckless had served as the opening act on Soundgarden’s final tour, before Cornell died in 2017.
