Soundgarden Tour

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.

Detroit, Jan. 27th
What an incredible experience!

Mike and Chris filmed the entire show, here is one clip http://youtu.be/CwXktSHfjTY

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

Agreed! Fantastic show, except for the ride home with ice covered roads!! The band sounded awesome and a great set list!

Well, that was awesome! Neither Cav nor I had seen SG live before, so we were pretty excited what it would be like. Like one of their t-shirts says, they were "Louder than fuck" Next time, I'll bring ear plugs! We were in the middle of the GA section. The venue was beautiful and I loved that it didn't feel like totally packed even though it was sold out. The mosh pit was right in front of us, but didn't start until the last third of the show I think.
Matt Cameron was outstanding, I never heard his playing so clear. It really blew my mind. I would have loved to hear Chris Cornell's voice a little louder too, but maybe that was because of where we stood. The episode with the spear was quite funny! One thing was a little annoying, but it didn't have to do with the show. There were phones in the air blocking mine and everybody else's view for the first third to half of the show. There was a point where all I could see in front of me was phones :evil: But maybe also this was due to where we stood.

We met Nick outside - happy belated birthday :wave:, but due to the weather conditions weren't really keen on spending too much time outside. So we sneaked into a bar and went in later like everybody else.

Heisenberg - such a pity that we didn't meet! Where were you?

A pretty sweet experience! I hope everybody came home without being in a car crash and cannot wait for PJ to play the D

I didn't grab a poster, but I think they might pop some on their site eventually. They definitely didn't sell out. When I went to the merch table after the show there were still night 1 posters available. Night 1 poster was limited to 200 and someone beside me was looking at it, and I saw it was #142 (I think). So there are probably some left over. I didn't grab either, since I'm saving money at the moment.

I was so tempted to get it, but my old Soundgarden cap needed replacing.

Maybe it will show up on their website! Would be awesome to see someone wearing that and their buddy wearing the PJ Shut Up and Listen shirt

No problem. I didn't know why I took the picture, but now I guess it all makes sense.

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.

Detroit was the best show I went to by far!

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

This Friday will be the first time I see Soundgarden in Seattle since I saw them play Bumbershoot back in 1990 (the Posies opened and got booed mercilessly by the SG fans...still remember Ken Stringfellow walking off stage after their set saying, "Stay tuned for Spinal Tap!"

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!

South of Seattle

Love getting texts from friends with extra tickets. Looks like I get Soundgarden tomorrow night. Thanks Gr8dane!
