I'm going to see him in Paris tonight, couldn't make it to the London gig and since I know people in Paris I've got a place to crash out after the gig.
I'll be sure to report back!
So how was it Yielded? Details please?
If you all stop hitting refresh for just two minutes, I can buy my tickets...
I just read this on the Chris Cornell message board:
I'll try to remember, the song are not in the right order, I forgot 1 or 2 old song, I don't know them (shame on me !)
Spoonman
Outshined
Original Fire
She'll never be your man
What you are
No such thing
Hunger strike
Seasons
I am the highway
Can't change me
Doesn't remind me
You know my name
Billie Jean
Rusty cage
Cochise
Mission
Jesus Christ pose
Call me a dog
Redemption song
Say Hello to heaven
Black hole sun
Like a stone
Just got my fingers crossed for Say hello 2 heaven tonight, I'll be a bit gutted if he doesn't play it - I wanna hear that song at least once in my life time!
Okay, sorry for not replying earlier, I just got back from Paris. Great city, hadn't been there in years!
The venue ("Showcase") was really nice, it's an old boat hangar they remodeled into a nightclub/concert kind of thing.
On to the actual show: No opener. Chris took the stage 20 minutes late, but I don't think anyone really cared after the first song, which was Spoonman. They went right into Outshined and after that they played the Audioslave song Original Fire. They also played You Know My Name (the track from the last Bond movie).
I can't remember all the tunes and the order but they also played Say Hello 2 Heaven, Rusty Cage, Black Hole Sun, Cochise... Chris also did a couple of acoustic breaks (just him and his acoustic: "Hey, I just got this new guitar, whaddaya think?" *crowd cheers* "It says Elvis Presley on it!" *points to headstock*) He played Call Me a Dog ("My wife really likes when I play this song to her"), Redemption Song, I Am The Highway, Can't Change Me (from Euphoria Morning).
BUT! The highlight of the show was - Jesus Christ Pose! And I can tell you, Chris still has it!
As you can tell, the show was totally awesome so if you can catch him on tour this year - GO!
Best quote: "It's great to be back... AND I get to sleep in my own bed *yeah*!"
"We get these pills to swallow... how they stick in your throat... Tastes like gold..."
As soon as they kicked off Spoonman, it just felt as though it was going to be a great, great gig. And it was!
Highlight had to be JCP, most definitely, even if the start was so garbled that the crowd only knew it was JCP when Chris struck a JCP...
I thought he might be fading a bit now, and with so many concerts in a short space, but MAN was his voice strong.
Only slight disappointment for me was no Revelations and no Pretty Noose - he obviously doesn't like 3rd albums right??
So, to sum up - Absolutely fucking fantastic!!!
Agreed - enormously talented individual and great performance although the "band" needs to back off - very talented though they are, there's no Mike, Stone, Matt or Jeffs amongst them - consensus after the event is that EV would take CC in most gym tests.
"Special Guest(s)" item was also a bit of a disappointment.......................

Oh yeah, contrary to what some people on this board would have you believe, there was no appearance of Eddie for a duet on Hunger Strike. Just some actor doing keyboards on the James Bond tune.
I have to disagree on the band though. I thought they were excellent. Although, I did go into the gig with very low expectations on how they were going to sound. They were kind of how a very, very good cover band would have sounded. Which is essentially what they are, after all...

I cant believe how much soundgarden was played! I've stayed away from looking at previous setlists as I wanted it to be a surprise....and by fuck was I surprised!!!
Tonight was incredible, front row right in the middle - don't get better than that! Plus I got Chris' setlist at the end!!
They played:
Spoonman
Outshined
Show me how to live
Arms around your love
You know my name (with David Arnold)
Hunger strike
What you are
Rusty cage
Be yourself
Seasons
I am the highway (Chris Solo)
Can't change me (Chris solo)
Scar on the sky (Chris solo)
Doesn't remind me (half solo/half band)
Cochise
Billy jean
No such thing
Jesus christ pose
Mission
Like a stone
Black hole sun
Sunshower
Loud love
Slaves and Bulldozers
think that is correct, a couple of the songs deviated from the actual setlist though.
I got some pretty cool pics which I'll post tomorrow. What a fucking show!!!!
did the people in the very first row bug anyone else? they didn't move, didn't jump, didn't show any enthusiasm. it's difficult to go nuts when the person in front of you is standing still. and by going nuts, i don't mean mosh pits and crowd surfing, just good old fashioned jumping, headbanging and screaming your lungs out. he played first 4 songs of badmotorfinger for fuck's sake, how could people stand still ?!?!
anyway, that's enough bitching (i had to do it, this board feeds on bitching ). they did play loads of soundgarden and that was great, i wish they played something from down on the upside, pretty noose would be just amazing. i arrived the venue around 6 and they were playing burden in my hand for soundcheck, that would be great as well.
just one temple of the dog song was kind of a disappointment, but i'm not gonna bitch about the setlist, there are just too many good songs
one last thing, chris is still the best singer out there, man he was great...
"hey na na na na hey that's something"
