Nearly a week ago I experienced Soundgarden at the Gorge, the final stop on a tour picking up after twelve years of dissolution. Besides the crappy cell phone photos shown here, I recorded some audio clips but they turned out all garbled. At one point Chris Cornell knelt down and asked someone up front, "Does that record video?" When they yelled in the affirmative he told them to start it up, then grabbed it, and paraded around stage introducing the band members to the device. I'm still hoping to find the result on YouTube.
The show ended with a really strange, and quite annoying actually, loud feedback loop that went on for at least ten minutes before the stage lights simply came up and everyone stampeded away. However the performance was quite satisfying, they played a really long set (nearly every track off Superunknown -- even Black Hole Sun), and Cornell's vocals were as powerful as ever.
