    Amazing show last night!!!...........far better than the invite only / secret show he played in Seattle back in May. He played just 15 minutes shy of three hours!
    Great mix of songs and the crowd were on their feet for the entire show.

    Salves and Bulldozers wow!!!…. started it with a pre tag of Jesus is my friend, then tagged 4th of July in the middle and ended with Whole lot of Love!!!

    fucking cool. congrats to you.

    Seen him in Vancouver lastnight. Amazing showed play for 2.30 mins. Did a bit of everything from his career. Yes his voice was spot on, one of the best voices/live voices in rock ever.

    I saw him the second night. I actually thought he sounded better on tour then he does on most of the records, including the early stuff! And that is saying something.

    the two times he postponed the Denver show were awesome... the first time I went to Sanchos (bar across the street from the venue) and drank myself stupid while chris was getting free designer jeans...
    Next postponed show is 10/5, I'll fill you in on how I spend my evening!


    Actually, the 2nd postponed show was suppose to be this Mondaythe 8th. I was going to fly into Denver but hadn't purchased a plane ticket before it was postponed -thank goodness.

    I've seen him twice this tour -excellent shows - well worth going to -but it is really too bad Denver was postponed twice. That November 20th show better be one hell of a show for the Denver folks - considering. I got a refund from Ticketmaster because it traveling to denver at Thanksgiving time would not work out.

    He won't disappoint. He's funny, engages the audience in small talk, and that voice. Wow, that voice will cure almost any disease. He's expanding his setlists and changes it up here and there. Fans are still trying to get him to do GUN. He's also quite easy on the eyes.
    Claire's site is awesome...check it out!

    I saw him in San Francisco back in July and I'm seeing him again this Sunday in Reno. I get the feeling that I could probably get up pretty close for the Reno show. It's a General Admission show and I don't think he's sold a lot of tickets. I could be wrong though. I would love to hear "The Day I Tried To Live" but he's only played it once since 1996. He puts on a great show though.

    He's played it a couple of times in the last few months in the States.

    I haven't seen him on THIS tour, I have on MANY other tours of him with various bands... I did get to see the marquee saying "Tonight, Chris Cornell, POSTPONED"

    I think he prefers womanly jeans to Denver shows!

    Ok look I live in Perth, Western Australia. Last time CC was here was 97'. Now how many shows did he play in the US this tour? A fucking lot. And even if he didn't play your home town he played the one right next to it which required you to get in a car and drive a few hours. Now the nearest major city to Perth is 2 DAYS drive so quit your bitching. Americans have been fucking spoiled.

    Precisely!!! I just saw him in London, and that's a 13 hour drive. ;)

    Frankly, I wouldn't blame him if he DID prefer jeans to Denver if everyone in Denver is like that guy.

    where the hell have you all been?

    The first time he went solo in fall of 2006 we had 100 threads going here about his greatness not to mention numerous bumps for the great http://www.chriscornell.org.uk site!

    That seems odd. I didn't even register the domain until 13 February 2007 and the site didn't launch until 8 March.... ;)

    So get on an airplane and fly... that's what my friend did, he flew to denver for the show, but the night before he flew here, he found out it was postponed...
    Check out a map of the US, it's not a quick drive to any of his shows from Denver...
    Also, I can't read what sweet adeline had to say, I put her on my ignore list and asked her to do the same, but I'm sure she is still talkin shit!
