Covers, new songs -- would be amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I was second row for this show back in 2011. It was way better than the Soundgarden show I went to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un42nutzly Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Cornell is a beast, love his work in Audioslave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Seen his Songbook tour twice, both gigs were really laid back and awesome. He still is an amazing singer and can still hit those crazy high notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Missed him when he came around last time, unfortunately. Money and Gn'R shows got in the way, but I'm gonna try to catch as many as I can next time he comes around. Would love to see one of these gigs.

GivenToFly Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yes, he's really good. Saw him in London two years ago and he did a massive 30 song set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Perfect timing for the thread, ER!Chris Cornell announces Fall tour dates for acoustic solo showsGonna try to do a couple of them!EDIT: Updated the OP with the link and tour dates. I'm going to probably try for Reading, DC, maybe Collingswood, and probably the Saturday date for Atlantic City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 i might go to reading or dc if i have the money. both are close enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I don't think tickets are that expensive, so you should try to go. Just don't buy alcohol or go out to eat for a few weeks and there's your money for your ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Been listening to Songbook all down after the tour announcement lol I couldn't be more excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Been listening to Songbook all down after the tour announcement lol I couldn't be more excited!Songbook is awesome. And I'm already not buying alcohol or dining out and still somehow falling behind with bills. I need a better-paying job, the post-college job search grind is difficult.

WhazUp Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 What no LA dates!?It is all good I suppose, I have seen him twice with Soundgarden and twice for the Songbook tours and each time was mindblowing. Hopefully I have time to make it out to San Diego to catch a show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Anyone else get tickets today?I ended up getting two different pairs for Reading (will be selling one pair), an Upper Balcony pair of Washington, and Mezzanine level for Collingswood. Couldn't bring up anything for Saturday in Atlantic City at all.Going to try again during the public sale and if I get better seats for anything I'll just sell what I don't want.

The merch table only had maybe 3 t's, one zip-hoody, and a long-sleeve t. I didn't buy anything.Show was amazing but I found it a little too long. Stated right at 9 and finished around 11:40pm.

Black Sabbath Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 First show was awesome. Great setlist and got to hear a ton of songs I was hoping for. He did what seemed like an impromptu version of Hotel California as well as a shit ton of other requests which he joked about people shouting out requests calling it "All Request Friday". Looking forward to tomorrow nights show in DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 question for my cornell fans.can someone link me to/upload some of his best acoustic gigs? i have the 'songbook' album and 'unplugged in sweden' bootleg. but i keep finding more and more recordings on youtube and i'd really love to have someone recommend/point me toward specific shows worth downloading.also, if anyone has an mp3 of his live rendition of 'say hello 2 heaven,' that would be swell.
