    You're going? I am as well but under protest. Really just going to see Matt
    Yep. Floor seats. Want to get a close up view just so I can see Matt's playing on Jesus Christ Pose.

    Matt in all his glory. Saw him do this up close twice this year. I was in awe. Don't think I even looked at Chris Cornell the entire song (and I love Chris Cornell!)

    Love reading this! No offense to Cornell, but this song must make you look at Matt playing.

    Anyone going to the show in Jersey Tuesday?

    Just decided to get tickets. The arena is tiny so it should be pretty awesome.

    Is there an opener? What time is SG going on?

    I'm interested in this as well. Would like to throw back a few beers prior to the gig and stroll in just before the lights go down.

    There hasn't been an opening band. In Louisville, they hit the stage at 8:10 SHARP!

    Yeah, I don't normally like to speak in absolutes but anyone who isn't just mesmerized by Matt during JCP is dead on the inside. :mrgreen:

    Some questions:

    Have the merch stands been inside or outside?

    How much are shirts and posters going for? Can you bring your own poster tube?

    Got back a little bit ago from the NJ show

    By far the worst crowd I've ever seen at any show. More than half empty and virtually no response from anyone. It was evident the band was not too thrilled.
    Very weird place to play for a band like Soundgarden. It's safe to say they won't be coming back.

    That being said the guys were absolutely pros. They gave the crowd more than they deserved and played their balls off. Cornell's voice is so amazing.

    They let a fan play guitar on Spoonman and it was excellent. State Trooper tease into Non-State Actor was sweet. Outshined - Slaves and Bulldozers 1-2 punch to end was incredible.

    Very strange that last night had so few people attend.... But it was the most songs I've seen them do and I've seen them a bunch since they came back.

    Just incredible musicianship going on with them and Matt is fucking stealing the show most of the night. Encore kicked major ass.

    Got home to LI,NY at 130am and had to wake up 5am :(

    Thanks guys for at least giving me some nice things to remember as I try to get thru today.

    I'm wondering about Matt....Soundgarden is getting their act together, new album is awesome...all members are contributing, etc. This is Matt's type of gig.

    I don't see him being happy playing backspacer tunes and with all of the side projects going on I'm not sure this new album is going to keep him interested more than Soundgarden.

    Cornell tweeted yesterday that he doesn't see an end to Soundgarden putting out more music which means more touring, etc.

    I'm thinking PJ is going to be needing a new drummer.

    The Wallingford crown should be interesting. It's a weird venue. Not too big so hopefully it'll be packed

    I haven't been there since I was a kid. I hope the crowd doesn't suck tomorrow.

    Same here man! Reading all these show reviews is getting me pumped to see them at the Palladium. We'll be out there early to tailgate since the next day is Memorial Day and have a chance to recover.

    Chris does a great solo version, if you haven't seen. Would be cool to see it Soundgarden-ized! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kTHyVgkWk0

    Saw them earlier in the tour (January in NYC). Merch was inside the venue but I waited until after the show to get posters and there were plenty left. The posters also ended up on soundgardenworld.com. I didn't bring a poster tube, but I think whether or not you can bring tubes is venue-specific, I'd probably call them and ask.

    Posters were $35, shirts were $30. Posters were all s/n and there were 10 randomly signed by the band in the stack.

    Thanks for the info! I'm just trying to figure out if I should wait to get a poster before or after the show on Friday. I may bring a poster tube. Not sure yet.
