RIP Chris Cornell 1964 - 2017

[Jorge]

He's a pop/r&b singer. I like him a lot

[96583UP]

there are recordings of real soundgarden from 2 years ago

i don't need some vanity exercise doing chris cornell karaoke under the guise of a tribute

[VinylGuy]

I also loved the Nirvana tribute in the HOF.
And this show seemed very special and for chris´s family, friends and fans.

Stone seemed very touched too. It was really cool to see him playing all those songs.

[VinylGuy]

There is a photo of Soundgarden playing with a pic of Chris in the back, doing their classics outro noise thing...a fitting image.

Its a a mix of joy and sadness for sure.

Stone seemed very touched too. It was really cool to see him playing all those songs.

It looked like PJs gear, maybe Stone fronted the setup costs?

[VinylGuy]

I saw SG gear too.

Miguel's finest hour:

The Bossman, thoughtful as always:

“I’ve been thinking about this night a lot, first I want to say, I think we are all here for the same reason. I think it’s to share, and to grieve, but mainly it’s to celebrate. To celebrate Chris’ artistry and hear his incredible music, in this great building that’s had so many bands in it. The way I see it, Chris was a blues man. He had the blues, and he turned those feelings into songs, and they made us vibrate and made us move. And I want to express my gratitude to you and and the universe for creating this amazing and complicated guy.

After Andy Wood died, Chris [Cornell] invited Jeff [Ament], Mike [McCready] and Eddie [Vedder] and I to make the Temple of the Dog record. And that act of kindness and his generosity and selflessness turned a tragic loss into something that we got joy from, and that millions of people felt across the world. Stories and songs about love and loss, a record the whole world fell in love with.

I also want to take one step to recognize the folks that aren’t here tonight. But that we love and miss. Chris’ mother Karen [Cornell]. His father Ed Boyle. His brothers Peter and Patrick. His sisters Suzy, [Maggie], Katy, and Greta and our blood brothers Mike [McCready], Ed [Vedder], and Eric [Garcia]. We miss you all and love you dearly.

Now the most important thing I’d like to do is introduce you to his eldest child. The daughter of Susan Silver, our compatriot in music and art and community from the very beginning, whose vision and perseverance helped create the music scene in Seattle that went on to change the world. Thank you Susan. [Lily’s] humanity and sensitivity has been self evident from the time I met her as a baby through all her 18 years. And like her father, she’s a singer and an artist an intellectual, and has wisdom beyond her years. Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to introduce Lily Cornell Silver.”

and then they played the sickest version of ‘Whoomp There It Is’ that the world has ever heard

Who is this Miguel fellow? Where's he from?

He’s that guy who tried to jump between two stages over a group of people at the Bilboard Awards, but didn’t make it and crushed some girl’s head

I watched the video (and also in slo mo) and not really seeing a head get crushed. But I did hear some shitty music.

[mray10]

My recording: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=640969

I'll try to get a direct download up later tonight but no guarantees

Thanks for recording, that's pretty amazing. I saw you had to take down the Metallica portion of the show, for Dime. Did you upload it anywhere that has their set included?

[gardenparty]

Miguel's finest hour:

i love this video so much

[Jorge]

Holy shit! I'd never seen that

[epilogue]

He doesn't even give a shit about the person he killed!

[Strat]

why does he do such a thing

[bodysnatcher]

i'm glad he didn't try to have a career in basketball or track and field
