Playing 'Black Hole Sun' During the Solar Eclipse - Epic Bass Cover

Experience the magic of a solar eclipse with a unique musical twist! I captured this once-in-a-lifetime moment by playing bass to Soundgarden's iconic "Black Hole Sun" while the eclipse unfolded.
On this incredible day, I drove out of town to a secluded field, set up my iPhone, and pressed play on my iPad at exactly 3:22 PM, just moments before the total eclipse at 3:26 PM. The sensation of the light dimming and the temperature dropping as I played was unparalleled - no live show in my entire career has ever matched that thrill.
To ensure the best audio quality, I recorded my bass track in post-production once I got back home. This decision allowed me to avoid the hassle of setting up my laptop, pedalboard, and other gear on-site without prior testing.
Join me in reliving this extraordinary event! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more unique musical experiences.

Too cool to look at the eclipse

[@BankloftBass]

Ha ha ha! I did. It was still in it's totality phase at the end of the song so I had the chance to take a peek

[@BankloftBass]

Yeah man! Thank!

[@jenniferbrdar4605]

I remember standing watching the eclipse with my fellow classmates at Oklahoma Panhandle State University and being that I graduated from high school in 1998, the first song I started gently singing was Black Hole Sun and started crying during the part of "in my youth I pray to keep, heaven send hell away, no one sings like you anymore" because the eclipse was around the time of my beloved late dad's birthday and I felt so alone being the only 40something and not having any parents especially Dad to see me graduate.

[@BankloftBass]

Thanks for watching Jennifer and thanks for the story. Really moving. Have a good one.

This is in my pure primal masculinity to state that this is badass.
That entire day I was thinking of Black Hole Sun, but someone else capitalized on the opportunity and that’s sick.
