unbelievable show. one of the best shows I've ever been to. I had to tell the guy in Row 1 right in front of me to shut his fucking phone off (he was recording video the entire first 3 songs with that stupid glow in my eyes). He had the nerve to ask "why?". I said "because it's fucking annoying". He stopped. then the guy beside him had to tell my buddy to shut the hell up. luckily he did, because I was about to do it. jesus christ, Chris Cornell is god to this guy, and he wouldn't shut up the entire time, talking to our other friend on the other side of him mostly, but also to me. I missed some of the between-song banter, and I love that stuff.
seriously, holding your damn phone at a sit down acoustic show and you are in row ONE. cherish the experience, not the fucking youtube hits you're hoping for later.

HA! I was at a show once with a buddy of mine who just WOULD NOT SHUT HIS MOUTH. I basically was just ignoring him and nodding along as though I was listening. I really should have told him to knock it off.
After about a half hour, the guy in front of us finally told him enjoy the music. When he wanted to start arguing with the guy, I just looked at him and said. "He's right. Shut the fuck up."
if there was ONE flaw with this show, it was Chris's odd choice to do karaoke of himself on a couple tracks. He puts on a record of all the instrumental tracks, and sings to them. it was a really strange thing to do. although that turntable looked pretty sweet.
he teased us last night, starting to play Jesus Christ Pose acoustically. Then he stopped, saying "no, that's not going to work". My buddy nearly shit his pants when he started to play it.

Which track did he do it for? I've only seen him do this for When I'm Down, he has said in the past that he wanted to do it to the original piano music by Natasha Schneider who passed away in 2008. This was the version I saw and honestly blew my mind: http://youtu.be/lMVQI6lVPtE

well, context is everything I guess. Yes, it was When I'm Down, and it was to only piano. I had no idea it was Natasha's original part. He did one other one to the vinyl track that escapes me at the moment.

Chris has lost many friends in his lifetime, and I love the small tributes he pays to them on stage, sometimes without even mentioning. I appreciate Soundgarden shows, but I LOVE Chris solo and I will go see him every opportunity I get.

Saw him last night in St Paul, he played for over 2.5 hours and did Footsteps! Not sure if he's done that before but it was a very nice surprise.
Oh wow, no way!!! I don't actually think he's done that before, how awesome is that!
I thought he was going to play Times of Trouble...but nope...he went for Footsteps and I about lost my mind. It was incredible...I would say better than Eddie, but I don't want to get kicked out of the 10 club.
One of the highlights from Vancouver for me was "Imagine". It was amazingly beautiful. And he made us feel.special, lol. he said he started playing it the night before in Victoria, but it just didn'tnfeel right, so he stopped, but it felt right that night, and I'm glad it did.... I think he might play that one a lot, but I was still thrilled to hear it.

He closed with Imagine...and let me tell you, I had a tear in my eye and a huge smile on my face! I HATE when people cover Imagine. I love the song so much. However, the cover that he does is mind blowing. I can't get enough!! If I had to pick a song that I really had to hear, it would have been Imagine...and it did not disappoint.
yeah, he was playing a bunch of songs people were yelling out. Still kicking myself for not yelling out Footsteps.
:fp:
You know if you had yelled it out he would not have played it anyway and then you would have been kicking yourself for yelling out
My sense from going to Chris shows is he rarely plays something unrehearsed. I feel like he switches up the order on the setlist, but rarely changes it dramatically. He seems like a perfectionist to me so he wouldn't try a song that he didn't already know he could sing and kill it.
Outstanding in Chicago last night! That One mash up was f'ing brilliant!!
I didnt care for that, but maybe it will be better once I listen to it again.
Bones of Birds, people. Bones of Birds!
First time in about 10 solo shows that I've gotten to hear Getaway Car as well. Excellent show! Chris was amazing as usual. And yes, he played Spoonman acoustic, unfortunately, because someone yelled it out. It was unique, but I would have preferred Outshined, which is amazing acoustic by him.
