That is a great show. "Switch Opens"! "Dark Globe"! Chris sounds great too.

Cornell was such a badass in 96. That guy was lost back then.

I still don't own Echo of Miles because I can't see any reason for charging $60 for a 3CD set. Who do they think they are, Kiss the Stone?
I think this is a trap so many bands are falling into. Bleeding their best fans, the ones willing to pay for product, dry. I think and hope this will eventually come back to haunt them.

There's a very telling quote from Kim in the middle of this absolutely scorching version of "Searching With My Good Eye Closed":

Best version of Searching...ever. I've popped in that DVD numerous times in the past just to watch that part.

I have a Superunknown tour t-shirt with the album cover and the 1995 tour dates on the back. It's so huge it won't fit me, and I've only washed it once. It was new when I bought it on Ebay ages ago, and I've only worn it a few times.
What should I do with it? I'd hate to sell it, but I can't wear it and I hope to never be large enough to be able to wear it. It's just sitting in my house, collecting dust.

Sell it, Matt. Let another fan own it and wear it.

Did they stop production of the cd box now that the vinyl is coming out? I can't find the cds anywhere online with retailers. I ended up ordering from discogs via an Italian seller.
