Only slight disappointment for me was no Revelations and no Pretty Noose - he obviously doesn't like 3rd albums right??
Pretty Noose isn't on a third album. Badmotorfinger is the third Soundgarden album, and he hits that one pretty hard (Rusty Cage, Outshined, Slaved & Bulldozers, Jesus Christ Pose) in relation to other albums.
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 ?!?!
I was on the front row, problem is, when you have a crowd of people pushing you into a metal barrier which is about chest height, it's next to impossible to jump - your more focussed on trying to breathe and stuff like that!! My ribs are aching like a bitch today, plus I had someones's elbows in my back for half the show, which was nice!!!
Good to meet you ... but damn my short arms not being able to reach any setlists
Look forward to seeing the pictures
EDIT: none of the changes to the setlist included Say Hello 2 Heaven did they ???
Nice to meet you too!
No the changes were just songs that were added, Chris' solo acoustic thing is just listed as 'Cornell' on the list, so I guess he just plays what he feels like playing at that time.
they were 1/2 hour late letting us in and 20mn starting..but then he was 20mn finishing too so it's ok
really good show, his voice is on top form.
Crowd was very clearly more Soundgarden-fans than Cornell himself...the Bond song I found boring before..live performance did not improve it.
The Billie Jean version on the other hand is really great!
I thought the band was very good, particularly Yogi (guess since Wash_ and I were both Mike-side in front of him we might be biaised ..and he's almost as generous with his picks as Mike too..)
found it interesting that they've given up on even trying to sing Ed's part in Hunger Strike (the guy only did the chorus vocals).. though it made it quite weird and not so interesting..we really need CC to show up at Wembley and do it properly
And it was very nice to see everyone again, albeit some very briefly (Randall?), very nice warm up for the tour.
Now, Redrock, we need that report on the M&G
PS: Audio coming shortly..well, in the next few days..

Alright, so I should have said 'he doesn't like last albums right?'
If you all stop hitting refresh for just two minutes, I can buy my tickets...

I might disagree.. audioslave songs got the biggest cheers. The pit up here wasn't that big for stuff like jesus christ pose
but yeah, he really was on top form. I was queuing up and hear soundchecking and he was just booming
still trying to proces it all. sunshower was absolutely beautiful but seasons was my personal highlight. To hear so much of bmf was great.
did anyone else actually prefer the audioslave songs minus the rage guys? i was loving audioslave songs that previously did little for me.
I know there was no say hello to heaven or dotu stuff, but the thing is, he played for over 2 and a half hours, so u cldnt ask for more. He'll be back! and hopefully we will hear them then,
loved all the new songs live, scar on the sky is gorgeous!
He is clearly in the best form of his life right now, both personally and professionally. He certainly didnt sing that well on the audioslave or last sg tour and I'd go as far to say he's on better vocal form than EM as well.
If you havent seen him this tour, hesitate no longer...
Last night was ridiculously good! Was at the front, right in front of Yogi.
I had a cool moment during Like a Stone where Chris was getting everyone to sing along. Yogi was singing the chorus as obviously was I and we caught each other's eye and exchanged a grin, and then he threw his pick to me - which I caught as a complete fluke, I just reached up for it in the dark and caught between my fingers!
Agree with the poster who said Sunshower was amazing - but the whole thing was great. I couldn't have enjoyed it more.

i was on the right side, between chris and the guitarist (i don't know his name), and it wasn't that crowded, they had space, that's what bugged me so much. anyway, i know what you mean, had the same thing in pearl jam, hardly managed to jump at even flow

i have to say i do. the little solo they played for show me how to live was so good. i've never seen audioslave live but in the videos i've seen, chris didn't seem totally comfortable. yesterday he did
"hey na na na na hey that's something"

seems the whole front row was PJ fans..I was right next to you I believe
i loved the show last night. best show i have seen in a while, and a great way to kick off the summer gigs
yogi was great, and the drummer was pretty good as well, especially the solo in slaves and bulldozers
Have all the people who liked Yogi seen that he's playing his own free gig in London tonight? It's on his myspace page - there was a link on the Chris Cornell boards yesterday...

Pegasus - Wey! That's cool, were you wearing a red t shirt? I wasn't being very observant so you might not have been wearing red at all.... but I think I remember a red t shirt next to me...
clairenordon - Yeah that was me! Was really cool to meet you, we were saying on the train how it made the day so much better to have met such cool people in the queue :0) We were glad too to see you guys had such a great position on the balcony!

Purple, close enough
not as red as your friend's hair!
and there was Wash_ next to me, JeauBong and Conguita and vedder_soup behind you..you were in good company without even knowing it
Oh man... I was indeed, it makes the memory of the night that much better knowing that I was surrounded by PJ fans without even realising
Yeah her hair is very red, all the better to whirl around in excitment I don't know if you saw/heard that she yelled out Jesus Christ Pose literally the second before they launched into it! It was very cool and surreal!
I can't wait for the audio to surface, I was really hoping someone was taping it... It'll be great to be able to re live the gig (and force all my friends to listen to it of course, they may not want to, but that is quite beside the point I feel)...

Here's a link to my pictures from last night at the Astoria. I was having to experiment with my camera cause it's new and I didn't know what setting would be best, consequently a lot of them were blurred, so here's some of the best ones (the ones at the bottom of the page are the better ones).
Last night was amazing, thought he was fantastic. Had a few tears during Hungerstrike - never thought i would see him singing it.
Anyone got any pics of Chris lit in blue doing his JCP?
