He and his band did not disappoint. The lightning storm that began and continued throughout both shows simply added to the intensity. So damn good. As they were celebrating the 20th anniversary of "Superunknown", their biggest selling and arguably best album, they played no new material.
This really wasn't an issue as the older material is more a bit more challenging in some respects, requiring more of a vocal work out. Cornell now 47, proved he could easily attain the vocal heights he once effortlessly hit in his 20s. Spoonman was delivered with Kim Thayil's pounding guitar vibrato and stiff drum work from Matt Cameron.
It is with "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Beyond the Wheel" that Cornell showered pun intended the audience with a true vocal onslaught that easily have come from I would have liked to hear a little more as really these guys have been around over two decades now, but I am also aware that it is a double bill and allowances for both acts had to be made. Overall, however, Soundgarden came, saw and conquered.
NIN was something else. Trent Reznor came out pounding on key boards with the fury of armaggdeon. He might has well have had his fists taped up as he came in fighting. As I stated earlier, the man is intense and it literally permeates through his music. Now happily married and seemingly in a good place overall, his energy while performing is undiminished. Starting off with a furious version of "Copy of A" from the fantastic, revitalizing "Hesitation Marks", Reznor showed he came to play.
Smoothly flowing into "Sanctified" the fury began building. By "March of Pigs" with thunder and lightning and heavy rains bashing the place, Reznor lit the place up with "March of Pigs". Throughout his 90 minutes plus performance no one was sitting. There was just too much energy flowing. Playing like a manic, sinister maestro, Reznor's NIN shook the stadium with a collecton of classics and newer material.
It is dark, scathing, intimate and amazingly danceable with its pounding beat, and "oop, oop" backing vocal tracks. Everyone was up as if they had no choice in the matter.
Trent Reznor is a man of few words as I have already stated, so when he thanked everyone for sticking around throughout the stormy show and for their support of over the years, it was a genuine moment. The encore and final capper unquestionably was Reznor just brought so much with this final song, pouring out all he had left.
That a thunder clap should strike at the end of his performance was just perfect. Simply outstanding and well, well worth one's time. Read more. Report as inappropriate. Listening to their music and seeing them live takes you back to when you cranked all their albums when we were younger. The band always played well together and when they play the new with the old classics like "Big Dumb Sex", "Like Suicide", "Spoon Man" especially it's a great feeling.
Thayil still cranks it out. You can just close your eyes and feel the guitar. I am disappointed however by their "Citi" show that was limited to only some fans. But for their music I guess I can forgive. Soundgarden put on a great show. Chris Cornell still has the pipes and is not afraid to show off. Kim Thayil put on a great guitar clinic as well. In support of Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden only did about an hour-long set.
Pretty much their greatest hits from Badmotorfinger and Superunknown, they also played a couple early tracks and one or two from their most recent album. For an outdoor venue, Shoreline does a great job with the mixing levels. All the instruments and vocals came through very clearly, so everyone sounded amazing for such a large venue - even in the cheap lawn seats.
I have waited years to see Chris Cornell live, he's the final act on my "bucket list" and the Tuscaloosa Amphitheatre should have been the perfect setting The sound crew was obviously not experienced with the acoustics of the venue and tried to blow everyone out of the arena.
There were multiple instances of uncontrolled feedback and being unable to hear Chris over the music half of the time was a profound disappointment Soundgarden put on great show 7 days ago with at Rockfest it was my first time seeing them, and first time seeing Chris Cornell and I didn't know that was going to be my last time seeing him live.
