Soundgarden

they've always reminded me of a very heavy version of early Traffic

for your consideration, this challop (?) i found on the interweb:

'SG was always more Heart than Sabbath'

Wow. Thanks for that.

And for this:

that whole new live album is great, some nice early jams on it. felt very very lucky to have caught one of those reunion shows in london - they were on amazing form.

looking back at setlist only sad thing for me personally was no jesus christ pose https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/soundgarden/2012/o2-shepherds-bush-empire-london-england-53da9f5d.html

new live album is immense. cornell's voice is so strong.

Yeah, I'm listening to the live album now and it's redeeming King Animal songs for me - I found that album incredibly forgettable at the time, but those tunes slot into an amazing set very well.

it's a great album! worth spending time with!

Bones Of Birds is one of their very best

Drown me riff 4 lyfe

nah slaves & bulldozers

why choose

“Hands all over” a close second maybe

"Beyond the Wheel" is the tits

cosign on that too

I miss Chris Cornell.

I will never regret buying the ticket to see him on a whim at some minor local festival (when I couldn't make Welcome to Rockville), as he was gone only a few weeks later. he seemed in good spirits and sounded great, with a lot of his power coming back.

oh, the other song that was a jam was "Room a Thousand Years Wide"

nah slaves & bulldozers

was curious about this performance and just ended up watching it straight through. greatest band of all time

I saw them on that tour. Gigantic performance, and one of the greatest large venue-concert experiences I can remember.

I was at that show. I'd flown home from Seattle, interviewing Mark Arm, that morning. It rained, and it was sublime. Cornell's voice just got better and better.

He wrote the best vocal melodies.

Yeah that tour was awesome. I saw them the year prior in SF and they were on fire.

Was reminded of this today:

SOUNDGARDEN ROOKIE CARD!

Sad it's not the rare error card with Scott Weiland in a tutu

I'm gonna hit
I'm gonna hit that
I'm gonna hit that upper deck and run

XP But otoh you get Ben Shepard's photo and Jason Everman's credit.

no Hiro, no credibility for a rookie card

Everman’s incorrect credit - he was only in the videos and maybe toured the album. Hiro played on it and he’s pictured on the cover, for crying out loud!

I am pretty sure this was Jason's only studio contribution with SG:

Sad it’s taken this long just to get close to getting these songs out.

Can't believe it's been almost six years. Wow.
