Downside of the SG tour is i lost $130 and couldnt pay someone to use my tickets. The upside is this may help avoid future MC touring conflicts for PJ based on how the crowds have been on the SG tour.

Thanks for sharing those pics. Poster looks awesome. is it a blacklight poster?
I can't wait for Saturday!!!
I think so but not 100% sure. Mine is still in the tube. I just copied the poster picture from online. Merch area was a little crazy last night.
On a side note, they didn't charge me for a poster tube. The poster was $25 including tax.
Was there a show specific poster or just one for the whole tour? Glad to see they have tubes. Both Soundgarden shows I've been to have had show specific posters, but no tubes.
Found it very weird that the band walked off stage one by one without saying "goodnight! Thank you!" Also, Chris never introduced the rest of the band. Strange.

It's just one poster for the whole tour. Love the art work on it though. Can't wait to frame it.

I debated about catching SG this tour. Saw TOTD in NY. Great show all around, but I'm not a big enough SG fan to overlook the limits of CC's vocals these days. That said, some of you that can't get rid of tickets...if they are within 4 hours of Champaign, IL, I'd go for free I know Ed has limits nowadays, too, and I've come to accept it, but part of Chris' trademark were those soaring high notes, and he can't go there anymore. I think it'll be even more apparent in SG set than the TOTD set.
I find it interesting that someone called it lame that they don't have individual show posters. Might be cool when bands pull off individual posters, but I'm not sure it's lame. It's business. Be happy there IS a poster

It's amazing what you hear when you take time to listen.
In 2014, when SG coheadlined with NiN, some of the SG posters were runs of 300ish and still didn't sell out. It's a totally different fan base. I understand why they went with 1 poster for the entire tour.

good decision on their part.
still lots of old posters for sale in their online store.

I noticed that as well. Chris never really acknowledged any of his band mates the entire show.
I thought Matt rocked it on the drums last night.

I've seen them twice. The first time with QOTSA was a great show. The second... as I've lamented a few times on these pages- was a disaster: horrible sound in a venue that is noted for great sound. Obviously, they didn't give two shits about getting things right and just puked noise at us that night.
I'll never travel to see those guys again unless they put out a new album that rocks (their last album rocked- I liked it).

Saw them for the first time last night (ATL). I've seen Chris solo twice. They were great last night and really rocked it! What nearly ruined the night were our seats.... Even though we were orchestra, about 15 rows back, we were all the way to the aisle/wall. The sound there was fucking horrible. It was like we were in a tunnel. We bounced around the section (there were empty spots here and there - scalpers I guess) without much luck. We eventually just moved to the very back center where there was only standing room. Holy shit was the sound much better there, especially the vocals. Never doing that section again at The Fox. Will catch them if they ever come through again.

I'll bet we saw the same shows. Gorge was tight. Paramount.......just not as good.

Both of my shows were in Vancouver- the horrible sounding one was at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Just... freaking... awful.

The QET is known for its bad sound with rock shows.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
Thanks for everyone's feedback on the shows. I absolutely loved Badmotorfinger and Down On The Upside when they were initially released, but I was never able to get to see them, so this will be my first time. I'm definitely looking forward to it, but I've lowered my expectations based on what I'm hearing here.
The poster looks cool, and while I wish they had city-specific merch, it makes sense why they don't. For those that have already been to a show, is it safe to assume that the "merch scene" is not nearly as crazy as it is for PJ? It'd be nice to be able to walk in to a show

First I've heard of that.
I've been to many shows there and they've all been great.

Chris goes around selling out theatre's on his own, and Matt earn's his living in PJ. Unless their doing it as charity for Ben/Kim, they must do it for more than the $$??

I've seen two of the post reunion shows. Gorge in '11 and the Vancouver one at the Queen E. in '13. The '11 show was really good. The '13 show seemed good, but like you said, the sound was awful. It's funny I have an audience bootleg of it that sounds pretty good, but in the venue it sound horrible. It made it pretty hard to enjoy it.
I've seen a few other shows in the Queen E. over the years. Chris Cornell Solo and I think an STP show. I don't really the sound being that bad in there before. For Soundgarden was PNE Forum bad :(

Was the poster show specific? I've been to two Soundgarden shows and both had show specific posters.
interesting setlist for last night. first solo headlining show on the tour.
I was really looking forward to hearing "Kyle Petty". hope they crank that one up in B'ham.
a pretty good representation of all their albums though.
