Keep this in mind. All of Soundgarden's biggest hits were recorded before pitch correction was a thing. He went into the studio and sang til he got it right. Every note you hear on those classic tracks is 100% Chris. Bands today, pretty much every note is tuned during editing. His performances sound perfect. Truly a genius on the mic.
The fork necklace Chris is wearing Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon made for him. He continued wearing it even after his death in '95, until a fan ultimately stole it sometime in '99 I think.
Look at the sweat pouring off Chris. He always gave his all then some. That’s why He’s the BEST. You are sorely missed Chris Cornell💯🤘🏼🎶 Everything you ever touched turned gold. Hot Damn this is a perfect performance the whole band kicked ass
whatever universe chris cornell is at now, entertaining with his talent I hope to end up in the same space and time as this artist again. (blessed to be here when he was)
If anyone is wondering why Chris is not screaming in certain parts like he does on the studio version, it’s because he is also playing guitar at the same time. This song is very hard to sing and play guitar on at the same time. Like really hard, haha. That’s why you see him looking down at his left hand a lot.
@@11DNA11 I mostly meant the rhythm, not the chords. But maybe I'm wrong. Why don't you make a video of you singing and playing so you can show me how it's done?
@@isaacj1801 The rhythm is amazing in this song. Four of the greatest musicians from the grunge scene. Being exposed to the recording process or industry makes me wonder how easy it was for these guys to play their parts while sticking to the metronome. So much is going on, it seems difficult to catch the exact tempo that the song posesses.
Not only this: he has to preserve his voice for the entire show. Yet, this tour was very exhausting - take this and his drug abuse, and no wonder his voice never been the same.
I think after how many times he’s played it that the guitar and singing wouldn’t be the issue. 1994 was a massive year where they toured basically non-stop after having 1993 off touring.
I play in a 90s Grunge / Hardrock / Stoner Rock Tribute Band and we already play Black Hole Sun, but Spoonman will be the next song we are going to play. You know... there are many tribute bands in Germany as well.. but only a handful have the balls to play stuff like Stoundgarden, Pearl Jam, STP, Alice in Chains, Saliva, Foo Fighters etc. We also took "Dogman" by King's X in our Repertoire... and it turned out to be a good Song choice!
Heheheh! Since we live in Germany...this would be the only place to see us. But if you are interested... watch some of our videos. Search for "smalltownindustries sti" here on youtube. We have some live material. Ah and one more piece of advice. DO NOT watch the stuff on a cell phone or a laptop. Make sure it's on a PC. We haven't used a PA... it's just the raw sound of our equipment.
@Crabby2Dope What are you talking about, they're the face of the Grunge genre whether they're someone's fave or not. They brought the genre into the mainstream, along with of course Ten and Facelift by PJ and AIC respectively. Oh and Badmotorfinger. All different, but still grunge.

Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of all time. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) but returns from people who likes same music is always the best.

Until you actually try to play guitar and sing ANYTHING, you won't truly appreciate how fuuuuuucking hard it can get. Songs in 7/4 like he flows so smoothly let alone the power in the voice
I group this song as 4/4/4/2, instead of 7/4, and is far easier for me to think of it and play that way. I have never thought of it in 7, even if that is how they wrote it.
I Love Robert Plant,but Chris Cornell is The Greatest Rock voice ,Ever!!!!!..Soungardern,,Certainly Saved me from My Own Demons,and They Still Do....When I have the Feeling of Wrath,Rage ,or Vengeance,I listen to their music,and I Feel My Demons Are fed,and Calmness Comes Over me......This Band Saves Lives..
The greatest rock music and we haven’t heard anything since. 90s were incredible music generation. Badmotorfinger got me hooked in 1991 and the rest followed. Alice PJ Mother Love Bone pumpkins NIN RHCP STP Jane’s Addiction…..Blind Melon.

You have the most powerful voice in the history of music. I love you chris, Rest In Peace with your beautiful spirit
Him and Layne are pretty tied. RIP.
Robert Plant is untouchable in his prime but Layne and Chris come in a very close second. Just my opinion
@@domonicdecoco2410 to me, Chris' voice is vastly superior and more powerful than Plant's, but its just imo, and i really dont like led zeppelin
I love everything about you . Much Love , Katharine
Cornell is on an entire next level from Plant and Staley
Cornell should still be walking this Earth. 😞
Not fair man
@@Onlythegoodparts no he’s not
Mental health is very serious :/
He chose a different path ...

What a great frontman the looks the voice the riffs and the skill of song writing Definitely a lot of missing art this guy would’ve done
one of the greatest voice in rock and roll.
Gotta love the old camera and film work that made 90s recordings seem that much more legendary. Simply amazing band!
RIP the biggest idol I had and still have as a singer
Rest in peace, Chris.
You were one of the best.
The voice of a generation.
Chris Cornell rarely smiled, but not frowned. He was sincere. and genuine and homegrown. I wonder if he Really knew how talented he was
Huge talent, now a huge hole in my heart. R.I.P.
Pierluigi Cecchini me too 💔
thank you so much chris, the voice of rock and roll
The fork necklace Chris is wearing Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon made for him. He continued wearing it even after his death in '95, until a fan ultimately stole it sometime in '99 I think.
That's so cool
EASILY the best live performance of "Spoonman".
Ferich11 👍
When you look at what the early 90's produced with Kurt, Chris, Corgan all writing, singing, playing guitar it's still mystifying to me their talent.
Look at the sweat pouring off Chris. He always gave his all then some. That’s why He’s the BEST. You are sorely missed Chris Cornell💯🤘🏼🎶 Everything you ever touched turned gold. Hot Damn this is a perfect performance the whole band kicked ass
Chris is a beast here! Just love it. He's broken millions of hearts around the world 💔 💦 I will forever miss him...and remain a Loyal Fan
Best vocalist ever...& the most beautiful too!
Oh, man. Chris Cornell was a such diamond.
Diamonds are everywhere. Chris was one of a kind and didn't need polishing to shine. (But I get your point.)
WE LOVE YOU, MAN! YOU'LL ALWAYS ON OUR HEARTS!
Happy Heavenly Birthday Chris, the greatest to ever do it, forever missed! 💔🤍
~20th July 1964- 18th May 2017~
My 5yo sons favourite song! You will live for the ages Chris. RIP
Likewise. “Dad is this the heaviest....yes George” since he was in his Mommy’s tummy
Your five year olds favorite song is about shooting up H?
I will be deeply saddened by this for a LONG time. Thank you God for letting me be alive and witness him. Chris you will be beyond missed ....🙏😓
long live the spoonman
Best band of my generation.
Best band ever!
Best performance of spoonman hands down
Master piece!!, what i like alot is the drum Solo. RIP Chris you are a LEGEND
the drums are fucking freaking awesome!!
for real! during that drum solo he was playing them with spoons!
"Born with a thousand little holes, and a tear to fill up every one."
chris’s smile at the very beginning, makes my day
Can we just talk about Ben Shepherd's awesome bass break PLEASE??
Underrated amazingly creative bass player
Yes, that part of the song is really challenging
@@robertdavison507 Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.
Great performance. It must have been really hot in that venue.
whatever universe chris cornell is at now, entertaining with his talent I hope to end up in the same space and time as this artist again. (blessed to be here when he was)
This is more awesome than the studio version.
RIP Chris Cornell.
From Japan.
The best time of Soundgarden...RIP Chris...
Just brilliant 👌 that voice ! Straight from musical gods ❤️😎

goes to top five songs ever, for sure
I'm from the genesis of rock&roll. Born in the mid 1950s. These guys are bad to the R&R bone ☮️

Cant go wrong with Kings X and some Bush.
I know... this is good stuff :)
Pokerface1337 I’m in. America and I’m in a soundgarden cover band and I’m a bass player and I just did Spoonman live and I have died
For me this song is in top 3 (in rock) list of all time
So hard to pick even 5 "top" but I hear ya. Such a badass song. Sucks he's gone.
Awesome song writer awesome singer the guy was great rest in peace Chris Cornell you will be missed.....
Miss Chris like crazy. What a talent!
The most iconic song all over the grunge era
Id say smells like teen spirit js more iconic but imho spoonman is better

That riff is hard to play and song while chilling. Then he turns it to eleven no prob
Sing and play this is a really tough task. I'm trying to do it but still no good
Such a good performance. Love you Chris. Wish I could have met you.
CC, biggest rock idol I ever had
:/ father of the grunge ..
They are that good that you can see japanese are actually MOVING!
For some strange reason, I have been listening to this song a lot lately! L O V E I T ! !

Rust in Peace Cornell.
Damn I miss the 90s and the 2000s , rip Cornell
Thank you Artis for inspiring soundgarden to create this awesome song
Best riff ever!!!
and i love this man..and this band!!
You will be missed! RIP
POWER. Period
Until you actually try to play guitar and sing ANYTHING, you won't truly appreciate how fuuuuuucking hard it can get. Songs in 7/4 like he flows so smoothly let alone the power in the voice
No doubt fkn impossible
For sure. And I will add, Ben Sheppard doing the "come on" call and response with Chris while playing that part on bass is mind curdling to me
This is tough on guitar, never mind singing as well
I group this song as 4/4/4/2, instead of 7/4, and is far easier for me to think of it and play that way. I have never thought of it in 7, even if that is how they wrote it.
One of the greatest 🙌 ❤
1:56 me trying to convince my self to go to the gym
i was 11 years of age when i first heard this song! it blew my mid into oblivion. lol
Great Song-Awesome Voice
Better than the album version in my opinion.
Exactly
My favorite live version!
Best Soundgarden song hands down!
This is a giant slice of awesome.
What a song.
This takes me back to my senior year in high school
Chris Cornell could always bring the fuckin heat....
Matt Cameron rocks
rest easy Chris
That Voice...R.I.P Chris 🥺🙏
I Love Robert Plant,but Chris Cornell is The Greatest Rock voice ,Ever!!!!!..Soungardern,,Certainly Saved me from My Own Demons,and They Still Do....When I have the Feeling of Wrath,Rage ,or Vengeance,I listen to their music,and I Feel My Demons Are fed,and
Calmness Comes Over me......This Band Saves Lives..
I like Ben's attitude.
Just amazing...
Why Chris Why??😢
r.i.p. chris cornell
another legend is gone

Wow. Top of his game. Amazing band.
This band....every f'kn time!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
Fantastici ❤️💜❤️
0:00 aww
Still angry with you Chris. Not ready for you to go!
Chris Cornell....handsome and talented.
Soundgarden > Pearl Jam
Both are awesome!
Troll.
kamalsutra agreed
Why not enjoy both?
All hail the Guitar Guru!!!
This song was actually named after artis the spoonman of Seattle, a street performer
Saucy Phranx At least in the album version, after the drum solo, you can hear him playing the spoons with the bass.
Awesome! Love this song.
Greatest of all time so was AIC all the others
amazing
Kazzo che voce! Mi manchi tutti i giorni Chris Cornell. ❤
lol, Both Matt and Ben are singing the backing vocals here. They sound freaking identical!
Cmon ROCK IT ON !! Cmon rock it on all friends 😎👍🌎
The greatest rock music and we haven’t heard anything since. 90s were incredible music generation. Badmotorfinger got me hooked in 1991 and the rest followed. Alice PJ Mother Love Bone pumpkins NIN RHCP STP Jane’s Addiction…..Blind Melon.
Blind fucking Melon!!
Tool, Nirvana, RATM. Truly was a golden era for American rock.
The riffs is hard to play when you have to sing with it
oh, yes, they are, very much. especially Soundgarden riffs.
Damit man i miss that voice rip c c
Fantastic finger work by Kim Thayil 2:14 on the solo.
Love it
