A friend passed me a copy of this show and its pretty amazing. It was labeled: Chris Cornell Unplugged in Sweden September 7th, 2006.

set-list:
1 - Doesn't Remind Me (Audioslave)
2 - Like a Stone (Audioslave)
3 - Wide Awake (Audioslave)
4 - Fell on Black Days (Soundgarden)
5 - Be Yourself (Audioslave)
6 - Billie Jean (Michael Jackson cover)
7 - Original Fire (Audioslave)
8 - Redemption Song (Bob Marley cover)
9 - Peace, Love, and Understanding (Elvis Costello cover)
10 - All Night Thing (Temple of the Dog)
11 - Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden)
12 - Call Me a Dog (Temple of the Dog)
13 - Thank You (Led Zeppelin cover)


I must have missed the boat when this show went on, because it was the first I had heard of it, but its pretty badass.

    This is a regular in my playlist rotation. I absolutely love this, Billie Jean and Peace Love and Understanding, no one could do that like Cornell. I am ready for his new solo album.

    I have a feeling its gonna be heavy in rotation too. Did you catch the part before "Like a Stone" where he said "I don't think I've done this many songs on an acoustic guitar since like 1987 with Matt Cameron"....I'd love to hear that!

    The only one I heard was Billie Jean.

    somebody needs to remind chris cornell that he came out with a solo album called euphoria morning. i think he forgot.

    but it's a good bootleg otherwise.

    This show is phenomenal, great versions of Michael Jackson and Zeppelin...also Black Hole Sun and Call me a Dog.
    I think there´s another acoustic set from last year but this one is in the BBC...there he plays "you´ve got to hide your love away"

    Absolutely great performance. This album is perfect for the late night on the dock at the cottage scene. Try it out if you can, I highly recommend it. I'm really hoping his solo album his just him and a guitar and that voice. I love the band thing but this stripped down music just suits him so well and doesnt put so much pressure on his voice.

    Dang. All the idiots who say Chris lost his voice need to give this a listen.

    I really like the boot but his voice is still nowhere near where it used to be. If he did the exact same show except in 1999 or earlier, it would be even better than it already is. His voice still has good tone but it sounds pretty thin.

    He said on interviews that he'll tour to support his new solo album and that he'll be playing music from his entire career.

    Yeah, The chris Cornell accoustic set is pretty damn good. I didn't really like the Billie Jean cover (didn't really sound good accoustic) but other than that the show is bad ass.

    I were at a rock bar and started to talk to the bartender about music and stuff, and we started to talk about soundgarden, and he was telling me that Chris cornell had done a solo gig at a place call"O- baren" it´s a really tiny tiny place, the get like 100 people in there. I was so devastated that i missed it. But i was told that it wasn´t official it was all "buisness" people and people who knows the right "people".
    So I think it was pretty lame of Chris Cornell. He could at least make a contest or something, you could win a ticket or so.

    He was just promoting Revelations. But I think some people won tickets to this concert through a radio station contest (there's someone on this board who attended). I'm sorry you missed it...

    EDIT: Found the original thread about this, the guy did win tickets to the gig:
