It was amazing to me how Chris grew into his voice during this period. He's still mostly screaming on the Louder than Love record, but by the time Temple of the Dog was recorded a year later, he'd figured out how to control it, and discovered he could wield his high notes like a rifle and not just like buckshot. You can hear this on this recording - his voice seems to warm up by the time they get to Big Dumb Sex and you can hear some of the snarl that became his hallmark. There was also a subtlety in his voice and his lyrics on TOD and Badmotorfinger that wasn't there earlier. I would not be surprised if reckoning with the loss of Andrew Wood contributed to that.
Interesting note..the bassist here, Jason Everman was kicked out of Soundgarden and before out of Nirvana. My impression was that he didn't really fit in with either bands. But instead of living a life of regret, he joined the army and became this baddass special forces/green beret who did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan among other adventures
For context, this is this absolute height of hair metal. Anyone at this gig was saying massive FUCK YOU to motley crue, ratt, skid row, guns n roses etc …. This was ballsy in 1989! Anyone there at this gig, you are legends!
I have seen The Who in concert smashing guitars and that was supposedly the best rock show on earth. Chris does it all and blows us to kingdom come. He should be classified as one of the greatest wonders of the world. I have seen Jim Morrrison perform his funeral pyre shows as we lit candles. Nothing can touch SG and the kind of vibes in every song.He learned well from Led Zeppelin what it takes and so much more.....sexier than Prince and all of the rock legends.Erotica electric blue from his whole being .Who else could do this?
Sound Garden a awesome group, alot of great songs back in 1989, when I was 23.Chris Cornell a awesome singer, so sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP 💐💙
I was there! Very excited to have stumbled upon this clip. Was every bit as powerful as you see here. David Parker, do you recall Cornell smashing that back wall with his mic stand? It happened. At some point, he destroys that back wall! Pure adrenalin and punk energy. I spoke with him the next morning at the CMJ "Metal" panel. This was a show to remember.
@@rplatzer I do remember the wall destruction! Somebody I talked with on their crew or from their record company the next day said they got hit with a bill from NYU to pay for the damages. If there is video for the entire show I hope it surfaces
@@davidparker7208 in the book Grunge Is Dead, Susan Silver talks abt this show. Everybody freaked out when Chris damaged the walls. Susan is very cool, she says 'everybody calm down it's just some drywall, we'll get it fixed'
Those were the days. Saw Soundgarden in 90 and it was them and Voivod. It was a good weekend I remember because it was in the middle of the summer and I saw them one weekend and RHCP the next week when John Frusciante first joined the band. Then grunge broke into the mainstream not long after this.
Im commenting using my wife's sign on email because I don't normally comment on social media. Anyhow, got to meet Jason Everman in Kuwait as we were ramping up for the invasion.. Turns out we were co located in the same building and I discovered his presence purely by accident. Got to hear a first hand account of Kurt writing my fav Nirvana song (About a Girl) from Jason. Sadly, I left country a couple days later. Without a doubt, the most surreal memory I have in my 20 year military career and definitely the coolest.... Jason, glad you made it through the wars (so did I)..... Wish you the best in future endeavors. It was really awesome to meet you.....
Awesome! Thank you for your service. Jason has a band of his own now. 1st album has been released now. Band is Silence & Light. He plays guitar, rock music. Its him and some other Vets, they donate money from band to help other Vets and First Responders.
@@cornelloverfloater4231 haha oh i meant Chris wasn't type of guy to get with everyone or take advantage of his good looks. He seemed to stay in one relationship at a time.
I cant believe this has been available for several YEARS and im just now seeing this. I did break from anything CC after his death because it hurt too much to hear his voice. I greived for him as if I lost a best friend 😢 RIP Chris, you are so loved and missed ❤
I have no words for this. I grew up hearing these and not knowing how they played out live, so to see them in their infancy, and to hear the songs live and primal, it's just shocking. Just... Wow. I need these in a collection to watch regularly. Bearing witness to world changing shit
@@fz7091 i really thought i saw hiro, but when i look it up it seems impossible. apparently i'm crazy. i do remember it being a "club" show, no security, amps at edge of stage, etc., and i was at the foot of the stage. chris was swinging on the ceiling railing, and hopping over amps, while nailing every song. they were amazing and i was legit deaf for nearly three days. Worth the memories I do have!
Chris was a very kind and humane person - met him once in Seattle and we talked for about 20 minutes about random stuff - he called me a goofball because I was goofing off - but I have heard tell he was also quite a goofball as well. He just seemed to be overly mellow at the time we met, but still very intelligent and kind. I had him sign a Soundgarden shirt I just happened to be wearing at the time - but my then girlfriend stole it from me just before she broke up with me the next year. Oh well - I hope that shirt is still kicking around somewhere out there . Chris - RIP - and thanks for that 20 minutes of time that you had a drink with me and talked to me without the typical attitude of a snobby rock star.
Was this at Loebe Hall? I was at that show. Chris put his mic stand up through the ceiling and I think he got arrested. I remember seeing the cops come up after the show to the stage. Great show though!!! Red Hot chili peppers were playing at the Ritz that night I think. This was the concrete foundation forum show right?
At this time Janes addiction was ruling all these Seattle bands. They all looked up to Janes. 87’ live Janes addiction was soooo over the top. I watch this and think souvdgarden loved Janes. Alice In Chains used their producer cause Janes was huge 87 88. To these bands in Seattle

“When you already got a genetically engineered rock star what chance do I have?” - Jason Everman on being in Soundgarden
A awesome group and Chris Cornell a awesome singer,sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP 🙏💐
I thought the same about Chris when I first saw Soundgarden in 1990.
Jason was a great musician but a little crasy
Chris cornell was a triple threat: best vocals, most articulate and poetic lyrics, and could acompany himself
Chris Cornell a awesome singer alot of great songs, sound Garden a awesome group
and quite underrated rythm guitarist !
And drummer.
That's why he is the best ever
And the most gorgeous man ever to walk the earth.
Most beautiful man that has ever fucking existed, and no one will ever reproduce that scream.
He was such a beautiful man with his dickies and docs and a voice that the sound engineer put too much echo in. His voice was and vocals were amazing
This is awesome but whoever was working that zoom on the camera needed to calm down
PickUpTheDarnBook 😂😂😂😂
dude you just haven't had enough Jolt Soda

I remember when I first discovered crash zoom

And Alice in Chains too!

Or his voice was changing and he had to adjust.
Chris was a great person. all the rock stuff is secondary. you cannot find someone who didn't like him. RIP.
I was at his last concert! 😢
Jason Everman
His bassist at the time did not like him and ended up being fired. You can always find a person who dislikes someone.
Yes I agree Chris Cornell awesome Singer so sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP 💐
His ex wife would like a word .😅
Damn he was so fuckn fine. Shiiit
Jennifer Sanders Girl I felt that!!
Yeah, he was the hottest man I've ever seen!
Ya my gf would have left me for him easy if they ever met, she pretty much said it
was in love with him since i was 14. I STILL AMMMMMMMMMM 🧡🧡🖤❤💙

What an incredible band, even early on.
No doubt wow!!
Even early on? --- that's when they were good.
@@twikirobot6897 They were good all the way through

seemingly too sad even for frowngarden, i read it too
Great soldier too .
Kurt kicked him out cuz he was jealous that someone was sadder than him
He was also in Mindfunk🤘🏻
I thought that was Everman. He wasn't in the band for long, good to see video of him.
3:56 perfect timing by Chris Cornell
For context, this is this absolute height of hair metal. Anyone at this gig was saying massive FUCK YOU to motley crue, ratt, skid row, guns n roses etc …. This was ballsy in 1989! Anyone there at this gig, you are legends!
My favorite singer. Saw Soundgarden 10-12 times and loved every show.
Damn it, I will regret to the rest of my life for missing that..SG were freaking awesome!!
Damn you dude. I'm fkng jealous
12 times that's a lot! I'm blessed to have seen them once
well I saw Beastie Boys once. Ha!
@@patron40silver you win bro!
I'm actually able to hear Chris's boots stomping... How did he not break his feet?!
He surely did, but he didn't care because he's Chris
combat boots
Yes and alot of head shaking,a awesome singer
The Cornell stomp!
Proof Chris never sold out.
Dude could have done hair commercials for millions.
Absolutely 👍
yeah but what he done with timbaland was....really really bad

Looks like it. I feel like I read many yrs ago he found the S-100 more stable. I'm a bit shocked at the sound quality here.
@@jeffloucks2120 it’s an SG
It’s an SG here
He was always playing a SG in the early days. It was a trademark item on their stage.
Effortless cadence with his vocal range, just a naturally gifted singer and a voice to my gen x generation. You can put a classification of an Icon
I cant believe this has been available for several YEARS and im just now seeing this. I did break from anything CC after his death because it hurt too much to hear his voice. I greived for him as if I lost a best friend 😢 RIP Chris, you are so loved and missed ❤
Came here after seeing the Jason Everman interview on Rogan.
Kim Thayil bad ass!!!
The songs came later Ben completed the puzzle the voice of Chris was amazing!!!

Amazing. Wow.
Was this at Loebe Hall? I was at that show. Chris put his mic stand up through the ceiling and I think he got arrested. I remember seeing the cops come up after the show to the stage. Great show though!!! Red Hot chili peppers were playing at the Ritz that night I think. This was the concrete foundation forum show right?
Gun is my favorite song
is there more from this night looks like they had already played a bit
Cool iwas in high school at thus time. I only saw Soundgarden once he in Utah. It was thd Down on the upside tour

Witness the miracle.
