Soundgarden Tour

Spoken

My friend asked what are the chances of hearing "Birth Ritual" tonight..
I said ZERO..

I notice they haven't played Bones of Birds at any show yet (or if they did, I missed that). One of my faves off the new album - hoping they break it out!

From their twitter page, looking dapper

Is there any opening band? Any idea when they've been hitting the stage for an 8pm show? Trying to get an idea for tomorrow.

Amazing night one at Hammerstein ballroom.
Matt did a sweet drumm solo..

Omigod amazing yet again at Hammerstein tonight. On the rail, Kim's side! Woo hoo! Which one of you was the dude with the outshined sign? Please tell me you're on here. Jaime? Jeremy?

So Chris really likes the signs, can someone please bring a MATT FUCKING CAMERON sign to the next show? That's my only regret not bringing a sign for Matt. Don't wave it around all show obviously but it would be cool to see Matt smile widely at that. And Chris would love it for sure.

Ok back to outshined. So Chris starts reading a sign, and it says, "Can I play guitar on Outshined" and Chris was like here? Are you good? The guy totally sold it so Chris goes, "Come on up" and he did. On the stage for the entire song. Awesomeness.

I am seeing them in less than a month!!
Woohoo!!!

Great to read that they are putting on great performances.

Anyone going to see Soundgarden who wouldn't mind picking me up a shirt? I want the black tour shirt with a lot of yellow on it, and it says "Louder Than Fuck". They ran out of small sizes, I need a mens size Small. Please PM me if you can help

I saw Soundgarden last night at Sound Academy in Toronto by myself. The venue is entirely General Admission. I got to the show one hour before the gates open and I was surprised to see that only 10-15 people were already in line. After a coat check and gone to the washroom, I've managed to be at the barricade on the left side. Soundgarden took the stage at 8:35-8:40 PM. Overall, it was a very good concert. They played a 28 songs, 2 h 30 min set. The crowd actually got more aggressive only about 11 songs in. Despite this, I was able to stay at the same spot throughout the whole show. I actually even managed to high-five and fist-bump Chris Cornell during two songs (when he wasn't carrying his guitar). The only down side of the show was that the volume of Chris' vocal was weak. He sounded really good, just that the music was a bit louder than Chris singing, but I was able to hear him throughout the show. Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and Matt Cameron were awesome as well. I definitely would go see them again. Here's the setlist for the first Toronto show:

Been Away Too Long
My Wave
Spoonman
Searching With My Good Eye Closed
Jesus Christ Pose
Let Me Drown
By Crooked Steps
Taree
Blow Up the Outside World
Fell on Black Days
Non-State Actor
Drawing Flies
Hunted Down
Ugly Truth
Live to Rise
Halfway There
Hands All Over
Room a Thousand Years Wide
Rhinosaur
Superunknown
Fresh Tendrils
Black Hole Sun
Attrition
Rusty Cage

Encore:
Outshined
Flower
Incessant Mace
Slaves & Bulldozers
(with "Rowing" snippet at start)

That is awesome. I was at their first Toronto show last night and like you, I was on the rail, Kim's side. They played 28 songs and I even managed to high-five and fist-bump Chris Cornell during two songs (one of them was Outshined, the first song of the encore).

I'm a little late with my review, but last week's Boston show was legendary.

The sound form my seat was phenomenal, and the setlist kicked my ass.

Great great night.

Really pumped to being going to both Chicago shows tomorrow and Wednesday!

Which side is Kim's side? That's where I want to be.

So jealous of everyone who gets to go to a GA show.
