Anybody get the poster from Toronto night 2? I was there and didn't want to wait in line-got a bit of look at it but passed. I was so blown away by the show and regret not getting one. Anyone willing to part with theirs or got an extra? Could someone at least post a pic so I can get a better look at it.
thanks.
Here's a photo I grabbed post-show. It's not the best, but it gives you an idea:
My fiance and I stayed downtown to celebrate his birthday. We headed to the venue around 3:30 to find 15 people in line already. We snagged fast-lane passes after being out in the cold for way too long.... so we went to the bar until 6pm. Met SOOO many awesome people outside; so great to be around people that share your passions. No place I'd rather be.
Nick and I were the 10th people in the door, took the spot on the rail between Chris and Ben with a perfect view of Matt in between.
Kim was very nice and appreciative and came out to thank the crowd as the crew was tearing down. Watching him and Chris battle a bit was totally sweet.
Ben was AMAZING!! To be right in front of that fucking bass line and it vibrating your entire body. Ahh. Ben and I shared a few laughs together- mostly about a big fucking goober that landed on the floor next to him. He's very animated when he plays. At one point, he got pissed because he couldnt hear his bass from the side floor speaker. He took his bass, in the middle of a song, and tried to jam the neck into the speaker. Only a dent, but then he flipped it over and bashed it some more. He then threw his bass against the wall and just went off on the tech guys. He is an insanely amazing bassist!
Chris came into the crowd as well. Stood on the rail right in front of us and continued singing. Pretty amazing experience. He was on point the majority of the night, too and there was little to no talking between songs which is completely different from what I am used to.
Matt is always amazing to watch- the true heart of the band. Just fucking went and went and went. The girl behind us in line had a sign that said MATT FUCKING CAMERON on one side, and ROOM on the other. Ben grabbed it from her and had Matt sign it in between the 2nd and 3rd song. So happy for her!!
There was a guy climbing the walls, trying to make it to a speaker stack to the right of the stage, almost made it too.... except when he got to the armored man statue. He grabbed the spear that the statue was holding and fell, the spear landing on the speakers. Security went after the guy and Ben grabbed the spear and him and Chris fucked around with it for the rest of the show.
Got to meet the girl that won the Detroit Talenthouse contest- cant wait to see her shots!! And Jesse, Ed's bodyguard, is on the road with the guys and its always great to see him.
Such a great experience with great friends. Ears are still ringing, voice is nearly gone. This high is gonna last a long time!
Really wish I was going back home to see them at the Rave this weekend.

Totally agree. Incredible show. I just wish they would have finished the setlist. "Nothing To Say" and "Beyond The Wheel" were listed for the encore but never played
That was me with the "Matt Fucking Cameron" sign behind you in line!
I got front row/rail to the detroit show, and as your post put it- between Let me drown and by crooked steps, ben came over to collect my sign from me and have matt sign it.
I went to both new york shows and swung back to go to detroit. at every show, at every chance, matt tried to give me something. i ended up going home with two drumsticks caught from two different shows, a wristband, that signed MFC sign, autographs from ben and chris, and ben's water bottle. matt was really great to me at every show and showed his appreciation every time, even though i only brought the sign once.
Posted this elsewhere, but would probably do better here: I saw Soundgarden in DC and bought the grey King Animal shirt, with tour dates on the back. Since that show, they've added a really awesome black 'Louder Than F*ck' tour shirt. Wanting to make a trade, as I assume these 2 shirts are priced the same. Grey shirt is size M (men's size, also the size I'd want the black shirt in), worn once and washed but air dryed, so it has not shrank. Please let me know if you'd be interested

They rocked in Minneapolis last night. I was second row center balcony, and at multiple times during the show I could feel the floor moving with everyone jumping up and down. Matt Cameron was on fire as usual, and my wife's comment this morning was that her ears are still bleeding . I had earplugs in and still had ringing it was so loud. It was my first time seeing them, and I had a great time.

Woo hoo! Just got an email from VEVO that I won two tix to next Saturday's show at the Wiltern! Going to at least 2 of the 3 LA shows now. I'm really excited!

Omfg, they just played Big Dumb Sex!!!!! This show is amazing. Matt is killing it, and Chris sounds awesome. Worth every penny.

Just got back from an epic three show run in Portland and both nights in Seattle.
Had good seats in Portland but the penultimate moment was me scoring a King Animal LP signed by the band and my girlfriend getting one of the band signed posters! Talk about lightning twice!
Then Seattle was a religious experience for us. Both nights just right of center on the rail, both nights matching numbers for the Klausen two night companion poster set. Girlfriend got Matt's wristband 1st night I got a Chris pick. Matt's Son! Mike McCready!!! Tighter & Tighter!
Nothing to say but the one thing.
Total Fucking Godhead.
One day of rest then back out for both Oakland shows.

"Come take my hand, and let yourself rely.
Don't hold your breath, don't close your eyes.
I've learned to breath and I've learned to fly.
I've learned to see and I know I'm going higher."
Awesoem shows in Seattle had great seats both nights. Night 2 was able to score a signed LP they said they only had 5 of them. Sweet shows amazing seeing themin such a small venue.
The sound was horrific: muffled and jumbled. Whomever was in charge of the mixing board needs some time off. It's pretty hard to screw up sound in the QE- you need to work at it to bugger it up.
Oh well. Still love those guys... but that typical 'euphoric post concert' feeling isn't in me today.
Matt Cameron was a lot of fun to watch. If everything is failing... just focus on him to make yourself enjoy the moment!
Dang. Just back from Oakland's second show ... And feel kinda let down. First night reviews said they played for 2.5 hours, six encores, tons off superunknown.... We got none of that. Barely two hours, three encores, maybe 4-6 songs shorter than night one. Shit, ticket prices were the same, right?
And yeah, sound was off... Chris was just lost in the mix, maybe past few shows he's just spent it all.... Local music critic even said he was fading second half of last night. Few times he was just totally off key even, something was up.... Man that sucked.
And totally part of the problem was the audience, no energy, lotsa folks just stoned outta their gourds, whole balcony sitting... But the mix wasn't helping, you wanna hear Chris do his thing!
Now I know what it would be like to see PJ for the first time and not get Evenflow or Alive... No spoonman, no my wave, no just like suicide, no burden, no superunknown .... No black hole sun. Wtf? I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck they played for two hours....
Went to both Oakland shows. On the rail for both I though it was the best sound I've heard on the this tour yet. There were some new speakers on the stage that seemed to push more of the high end into the mix which allowed us to hear Chris and Kim much better than Portland and Seattle. I did hear from some friends that were at other spots in the venue that it sounded muddy but from where I was it was crystal clear.
First night was great, high energy all around from the crowd and the band, I'll agree that the second night was a bit shorter and reserved from both sides but it didn't stop me from going full bore on the rail the whole time, plus I am thinking they are a bit tired and trying to save some for the last show in LA that's being taped.
Also, I never mind when BHS is left off the set, I could do away with some of the radio tracks and replace them with more stuff they haven't played in a while like Hand Of God, Mood For Trouble, Holy Water and Overfloater to name a few but I understand they have to play them for the casual fan that's there just to hear Outshined & BHS. First night was laden with "hits" second night they went deep with the older stuff and some new set arrangements. Both nights had a good mix of King Animal songs. Second night as reserved as it may have been had some interesting moments. Ben jamming on Matt's hi-hat, "Searching" to open the encore, "4th of July" to close! Both posters are amazing as well.

Friend I was with was much bigger Soundgarden fan than I -- her theory was they dialed back the hits, and phoned those in to make the new stuff more appealing!! lol... I will give ya that, some of the new tunes f'n rocked!
But no no, not "a bit" shorter -- TWENTY F'N PERCENT SHORTER. Could be audience energy, could be tapped out at end of "long tour," two nights in a row, who knows. I screamed my ass off and tried to show my appreciation .. for naught. I could see the first whole front terrace of the floor and a few rows of the 2nd terrace, and folks back 3-4 peeps from the rail were zombies...
setlist.fm shows they had two more songs on the encore and cut 'em...
But I hear ya, Savage, I've deleted all my Evenflows and Alives off my iPod of PJ Bootlegs! Took a gamble that 2nd night would be the more crazy of the two and lost that bet... I remember 2011 show in SF being waaaay more off the hook...
Oh wells, I'm probably more a Cornell fan than a soundgarden fan -- some songs i only got cause he plays 'em in his solo shows!
Wow, the Wiltern show last night was amazing. Being filmed for PBS Artists' Den, and literally a setlist that I would have wrote myself:

A group of us are getting together at the Library Square Pub beforehand, if anyone is interested!
And there is still at least one person looking for a pair at face value, if anyone has extra tickets.

Oh yea. Already picked up my tix for this show. I can't believe we get them twice in one year.
