Dr.Teeth and the Electric Mayh

Thankfully PJ20 took care of this for me. No desire to see it again. I wonder what else they would play? Maybe they'll rehearse a bunch of MLB songs since Chris and Andy were tight.

If these are the only 5 dates then odds will drop considerably by the time lottery closes. Actually surprised NY is at 99% right now.

Well they are playing @ MSG. SOOO much bigger stage then the Paramount Theatre & Tower Theatre.

Yah the Paramount seems small for a hometown thing.... I guess there's not much to play between a theatre and an arena?

I somehow scored two tickets. My friend watched the last handful dissappear. I feel bad but so happy I'm going to see this!

Did it stop, or did it run out of tickets. It was like a wave. People could see their was a presale but no one knew the password so you could see all the tickets sitting there. Then they slowly started disappearing (assuming the first people got the password emails). Then the password started making its way around the tickets started to accelerate and sold out in minutes....

agentpinckney

When you're in NYC, don't you have to play MSG?!?!?!

demetrios

Just now received the Temple Of The Dog email from Soundgarden that includes the presale password to buy tickets ...

I can totally see Brad Klausen doing the posters for this tour - with a theme kinda like he did for the RNDM shows this spring.

Temple Of The Dog Tour and Re-issue Pre-Sale
July 20 2016


TEMPLE OF THE DOG — FEATURING CHRIS CORNELL, STONE GOSSARD, JEFF AMENT, MIKE MCCREADY, AND MATT CAMERON — REUNITE TO TOUR FOR FIRST-TIME EVER

SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE COLLECTION TO BE RELEASED BY UMe ON SEPTEMBER 30TH

Temple of the Dog — the Seattle supergroup featuring Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell, Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and Mike McCready, and drummer Matt Cameron (who plays drums with both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) — has reunited and will tour for the first time ever since forming in 1990. The band will play five cities, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle, in November.

A special ticket pre-sale for fans signed up to the Ten Club (must be a member as of July 19th to be eligible for the Ten Club pre-sale), Soundgarden, and Chris Cornell email lists begins immediately and runs through July 27th. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 29th, at 10:00 AM PST. $1.50 from each ticket sold will benefit the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation and an additional $1.50 will benefit Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy Foundation.

The tour marks the 25th anniversary of the release of Temple of the Dog’s first and only album, a self-titled set that was released by A&M Records on April 16th, 1991. “We wanted to do the one thing we never got to do … play shows and see what it feels like to be the band that we walked away from 25 years ago,” Cornell says of the 2016 tour.

On September 30th UMe will release a special Temple of the Dog 25th anniversary reissue collection of their landmark album, newly mixed by Brendan O’Brien. The collection will be available in four configurations, including a four disc Super Deluxe, a double LP, a two CD Deluxe, and a single CD. Physical pre-orders are available today along with a detailed list of the contents of each configuration here.

Temple of the Dog came together from the ashes of Mother Love Bone following the death from a drug overdose of its frontman Andrew Wood, Cornell’s close friend and roommate. Cornell wrote future TOTD songs “Say Hello 2 Heaven” and “Reach Down” to help process his grief, “but the songs didn’t have any destination,” he says. “I was compelled to write them and there they were – written in a vacuum as a tribute to Andy. My thought was that maybe I could record these songs with the remaining members of Mother Love Bone and that maybe we could release them as a tribute.”

Mother Love Bone’s Gossard and Ament began playing with McCready, and they brought in Soundgarden’s Cameron to drum on demos. Because this was a collaboration, and a tribute, there was no commercial expectation for the Temple of the Dog album. It would be, Gossard would later observe, “the easiest and most beautiful record that we’ve ever been involved with.” Adds Cornell: “Temple was about making an album simply for the joy of doing it. We weren’t concerned what anyone outside of our group of friends would think of it. It was the first and maybe only stress-free album that we all made.”

Gossard, Ament, and McCready were also simultaneously forming a new band, which more than six months later would be known as Pearl Jam. A singer from San Diego named Eddie Vedder, who was vying to lead the project, came into the studio to sing background vocals on three of the Temple songs. When Cornell thought another song, “Hunger Strike,” needed a duet, Vedder was enlisted. “Hunger Strike” became a hit single, peaking at No. 4 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

Temple of the Dog performed live only a handful of times, most notably in Seattle, in November and December of 1990. Those shows have become some of the most legendary Seattle concerts of all-time. Their 2016 shows mark the first time the band has ever toured. (Cornell joined Pearl Jam in 2014 at the Bridge School show and for two nights at PJ20 in Alpine Valley, WI, and the Temple line-up played “Reach Down” and “Call Me a Dog” at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall in January 2015.)

“This is something no one has ever seen,” Cornell says of the official reunion. “We wanted to stop and recognize that we did this and pay homage.”

Thanks for the initial heads up on this, Demetrios! I probably would have missed out on the presale tickets if I didn't read your thread.

How is Philly down to 54% already!

Its a tiny venue and I'm guessing the 10c allotment is very small

Okay didn't realize that place was small. MSG is obviously huge so maybe the % will be alright.

If it's in the arena part of MSG anyway. I've been to a Killers concert at MSG that was in this wing of the building that is a separate theatre. I can't remember what the theatre is called, but I know that the concert ticket still just said "Madison Square Garden" on it. We were a bit surprised to find that it wasn't actually in the arena when we arrived. But anyway, this is unlikely. I'm just mentioning it as a possibility. And I would think it's a strong possibility if it weren't for the fact that the LA show is at the forum, and as far as I know, that doesn't have some smaller theatre for them to play in. Unless they are planning on blocking off over half of the arena and just playing to one end of the place (also possible! Neil Young did it last year in Vancouver at Rogers arena, and turned an arena show into a theatre show!). Anyway, I guess my point is that just because it's at MSG, it doesn't necessarily mean there will be 18,000 or whatever available.

Yeah, that has been happening for at least 4 or 5 years. It's why I don't like 10C insisting on having my CC info on file. If they are using an invalid security certificate, what else aren't they doing right when it comes to security of information? Worries me a little bit. And I'm pretty sure others have brought it up to them before, and it's still happening.

That is called The Theatre at MSG.

thanks everyone... got a pair in row EE. It's a small venue so I'm not 100% confident we'll get 10c tickets. If we do I'm sure i can find a fellow member to sell them too at cost.

Nice! If you end up with extras, I would love to be considered (if I don't score during lottery/general sale).

Small and AWESOME!

Recall: 2005 Paramount Theatre PJ? Sickly epic night that was in that theatre. TOTD will rock the house and the lucky ~3000 attendees will have a night to remember for eternity.

No mention of eddie?

He's technically not a part of temple

Agreed, but you gotta figure Hunger Strike with anyone else would be weird, right?

I hear that (as do a large portion of our faithful in hear) but.... Chris'll rock it out solo. He's done it before, and he'll do it again. If neEd be.

There's a "National" presale happening right now for TOTD tickets? Anyone have the presale password?

The show is in the arena. Shows at the Theatre are clearly billed as such (they will clearly say "The Theatre at Madison Square Garden"). Plus the seating map on Ticketmaster for this show is for the arena.

Philadelphia @ 8%. Seattle @ 10%.

Anyone believe they will add a 2nd night @ Philly & Seattle?

I would think there will be some second nights added with the number of days between shows

Not sure. I can't tell if they want to tour, or if they only felt like doing a handful of shows. They had to know to a 3000 seater in Seattle would sell out without much effort. To me it kind of feels more like the Mad Season thing from last year where it's limited event. You never know though. Plenty of room in the schedule for additional dates.
