great show last night. about 2-2.5 hrs. chris's voice sounded impeccable. the band was very tight. the, albeit sparse crowd, was as loud as possible and everyone (including the band) was enjoying themselves.
stand-outs: Rusty Cage, Day I Tried to Live, JC Pose, and Pushin' Forward Back. Surprises were Sunshower, Day I Tried to Live, and Pretty Noose.
In NPO (from the best of my recollection):
Soundgarden tunes
Let Me Drown
Outshined
Rusty Cage
Day I Tried to Live
Burden in My Hand
Pretty Noose
Black Hole Sun
Spoonman
Slaves and Bulldozers/4th of July/The End (one or two lines)/Whole Lotta Love
Audioslave songs:
Show Me How to Live
Cochise
Doesn't Remind Me
Like a Stone
Original Fire (?)
Temple of the Dog numbers:
All Night Thing
Hungerstrike
Pushin' Forward Back
Solo Tunes and covers:
Sunshower
Can't Change Me
Wave Goodbye
No Such Thing
Arms Around Your Love
You Know My Name
Put a Spell On Me (tiny bit)/Billie Jean
There were also a handful I didn't pick up on, most of which were either songs from Carry On and one cover I couldn't make out when he was playing acoustic by himself (which was like 6 songs midway thru the set).
All in all, a great show. Lots of banter from Chris and a fun time overall. Didn't feel cliched or just going through the motions. Everyone really seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Similar set in Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday. Closed with Whole Lotta Love, which was an awesome surprise.
The band was really good (lead guitar could have been louder), and Chris' voice was great. On a couple of his "screams" we just looked at each other with big eyes and said, "Fuuuuuuck!"
Chris looked like he had just gotten up from a nap when he hit the stage, but was right on.
The place was packed and the crowd was way into it. Some guys, looked to be mid-thirties, did a little moshing toward the back of the crowd. Didn't last long, after some guy went down, I think they realized they were well beyond those days.
KOL & BRMC were at the same place Friday night. Also a kick ass show.

My ears are still ringing!!!!
KOL & BRMC...I've seen that twice and that is an excellent double bill. I've KOL 5 times this year and I simply I liked BRMC before seeing them live. Now I love them.
And I surely can relate to your reaction to those Cornell screams...I've seen him 3 times this year,his voice is just ridiculous and sometimes it amazes me that he can still speak, let alone sing like that after all these years.
Come to think of it, I could use another Cornell show.
im getting more and more sad i missed all of his shows. i had NO IDEA his band played that many soundgarden tunes, and his voice sounds GREAT, i was so surprised watching youtube vids. his backup band aint bad, the BG vocals are great in spoonman. chris cornell is a legend
He's in South America in December and then the next announced dates are South Africa in March - maybe he'll take a break after Christmas to record, who knows. He's also told various places he'll be back next year so I think the tour will go on through 2008 - it started in April and was originally supposed to be 16 months. Since then he's been saying it'll go on for 18 months or even 2 years.

Always, my dear. Always:).
I hope one place on his "various places" list is Southern California. Going through CC withdrawals over here!
Yeah, it was just a little bit of 4th of July (music and vox) tagged onto S&B. Still nice to hear though.
And not to be nit-picky, but I did mention he covered Billie Jean. I know i missed one or two songs, but they were either new ones off Carry On and/or one cover I didn't recognize.
Fantastic show. His vox were unexpectedly stellar and he seems to have control over his pitch and range again. Chris was actually quite talkative as well, making some funny statements throughout the night. And the pick fight between roadies and the entire band was kinda fun as well. I think it lasted from about mid-set (after Chris's acoustic segment) to the very end. Good time, good times.

“Life is life everywhere. Life is in ourselves and not outside us. There will be men beside me, and the important thing is to be a man among men and to remain a man always, whatever the misfortunes, not to despair and not to fall - that is the aim of life, that is its purpose.”

I was at this show. This was the first time I've seen Cornell Live. I was very impressed. Very Long show, great songt selection, and his voice was amazing. Definitely exceed my expectations. Are there any sites that post Cornell shows...?
Are there any boots of these shows floating around?
There's one of the House of Blues in Dallas on 30th Oct (mp3s), courtesy of a chap called Warren: there are probably more on torrents. Dallas was a great show by all accounts.
I really wanted to go see this show, but I spent all of my money on the KOL show on Halloween. Oh well.

I can't wait to hear a bootleg of Pushin' Forward Back - wicked song!
Amazing... I almost feel like I should go to Allentown to see him for a third time.
