    A group of us are getting together at the Library Square Pub beforehand, if anyone is interested!

    And there is still at least one person looking for a pair at face value, if anyone has extra tickets.

    Just got back from an epic three show run in Portland and both nights in Seattle.
    Had good seats in Portland but the penultimate moment was me scoring a King Animal LP signed by the band and my girlfriend getting one of the band signed posters! Talk about lightning twice!
    Then Seattle was a religious experience for us. Both nights just right of center on the rail, both nights matching numbers for the Klausen two night companion poster set. Girlfriend got Matt's wristband 1st night I got a Chris pick. Matt's Son! Mike McCready!!! Tighter & Tighter!

    Nothing to say but the one thing.

    Total Fucking Godhead.

    One day of rest then back out for both Oakland shows.

    Awesoem shows in Seattle had great seats both nights. Night 2 was able to score a signed LP they said they only had 5 of them. Sweet shows amazing seeing themin such a small venue.

    Vancouver show incredibly disappointing.

    The sound was horrific: muffled and jumbled. Whomever was in charge of the mixing board needs some time off. It's pretty hard to screw up sound in the QE- you need to work at it to bugger it up.

    Oh well. Still love those guys... but that typical 'euphoric post concert' feeling isn't in me today.

    Matt Cameron was a lot of fun to watch. If everything is failing... just focus on him to make yourself enjoy the moment!

    Dang. Just back from Oakland's second show ... And feel kinda let down. First night reviews said they played for 2.5 hours, six encores, tons off superunknown.... We got none of that. Barely two hours, three encores, maybe 4-6 songs shorter than night one. Shit, ticket prices were the same, right?

    And yeah, sound was off... Chris was just lost in the mix, maybe past few shows he's just spent it all.... Local music critic even said he was fading second half of last night. Few times he was just totally off key even, something was up.... Man that sucked.

    And totally part of the problem was the audience, no energy, lotsa folks just stoned outta their gourds, whole balcony sitting... But the mix wasn't helping, you wanna hear Chris do his thing!

    Now I know what it would be like to see PJ for the first time and not get Evenflow or Alive... No spoonman, no my wave, no just like suicide, no burden, no superunknown .... No black hole sun. Wtf? I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck they played for two hours....

    Disappointing....

    Went to both Oakland shows. On the rail for both I though it was the best sound I've heard on the this tour yet. There were some new speakers on the stage that seemed to push more of the high end into the mix which allowed us to hear Chris and Kim much better than Portland and Seattle. I did hear from some friends that were at other spots in the venue that it sounded muddy but from where I was it was crystal clear.
    First night was great, high energy all around from the crowd and the band, I'll agree that the second night was a bit shorter and reserved from both sides but it didn't stop me from going full bore on the rail the whole time, plus I am thinking they are a bit tired and trying to save some for the last show in LA that's being taped.

    Also, I never mind when BHS is left off the set, I could do away with some of the radio tracks and replace them with more stuff they haven't played in a while like Hand Of God, Mood For Trouble, Holy Water and Overfloater to name a few but I understand they have to play them for the casual fan that's there just to hear Outshined & BHS. First night was laden with "hits" second night they went deep with the older stuff and some new set arrangements. Both nights had a good mix of King Animal songs. Second night as reserved as it may have been had some interesting moments. Ben jamming on Matt's hi-hat, "Searching" to open the encore, "4th of July" to close! Both posters are amazing as well.

    Friend I was with was much bigger Soundgarden fan than I -- her theory was they dialed back the hits, and phoned those in to make the new stuff more appealing!! lol... I will give ya that, some of the new tunes f'n rocked!

    But no no, not "a bit" shorter -- TWENTY F'N PERCENT SHORTER. Could be audience energy, could be tapped out at end of "long tour," two nights in a row, who knows. I screamed my ass off and tried to show my appreciation .. for naught. I could see the first whole front terrace of the floor and a few rows of the 2nd terrace, and folks back 3-4 peeps from the rail were zombies...

    setlist.fm shows they had two more songs on the encore and cut 'em...

    But I hear ya, Savage, I've deleted all my Evenflows and Alives off my iPod of PJ Bootlegs! Took a gamble that 2nd night would be the more crazy of the two and lost that bet... I remember 2011 show in SF being waaaay more off the hook...

    Oh wells, I'm probably more a Cornell fan than a soundgarden fan -- some songs i only got cause he plays 'em in his solo shows!
