Holy shit! I grew up around Seattle and nearly every time I went to a show in the late 80's, Soundgarden was nearly always on the bill. It's a band I nearly never went out of my way to see until several years later and yet I saw them maybe 15 times. I was at this show and this was their set that really blew me away. I was pretty psyched to go see their this show as I had picked up their early vinyl releases by that point and had been listening to them at home. Seattle bands were ridiculously over the top in that there was absolutely nothing to lose. Nobody was going to hear their gigs besides other bands, their significant others, the people who work the small clubs and 50 other people. It didn't matter......, every show was as if it were in Madison Square Garden. Then came the Bumbershoot show, which was pretty big. There was a buzz and they showed up on stage and presented this. It really was hypnotizing and people were kind of speechless. I was there with my brother who knew these guys as he was the drummer in Fastbacks and later on, in Flop. (both great bands, by the way) I don't think to this day we have even talked about this show. We were simply dumbstruck, it was pretty fucking epic. I'm thrilled to have stumbled upon this again. Thank you for sharing!
Ok. You weren't lying. This is the best live version of this song I've ever heard. I like Chris' voice as he got older and it got grittier (though more inconsistent). But this is him at his peak. Where are all the good rock singers these days?
Daniel Collin - I was just wondering now that Chris is gone who would be my top pick. I spose I go with MJK of Tool, APC. His voice is still strong and versatile tho could never do my fave CC song "Birth Ritual" but I dunno anyone who can.
Great sound but nothing beats seeing them live in a Philly dive club in November 89 that held 200 people. They opened with The Ugly Truth and Kim's guitar just cut right through you! I can still feel it like it was yesterday!
I adore the talent of Ben and Chris. My contemporary music is mostly horrendous and it saddens me that I was not lucky to have been around when Soundgarden graced this earth. PS: Justice for Chris who was used and abused by those who were supposed to care for him.
In my humble opinion,though it's kinda obvious,this Badmotorfinger era Soundgarden was Chris at his incredible peaks of badassness and vocal ability.R.I.P. brother, we will always remember and miss you.
He blew his vocal cords around then and started to sing more in has natural range after that. He still sounded great, just not as much wild ass vocal gymnastics after that happened.
A good friend of mine described the part from 7:00 as a "religious experience". As in, you can't help but feel absolute awe in the presence of his voice at that point. He's not just belting out a high note, but singing with the soul and power of an otherwordly being. It sends shivers down my spine every time.
I think that's a F#5, so he would still have a few more higher notes G5, G#5 and A5, check out ruclips.net/video/WM3RmhQVFFY/видео.html I watch this video like 4 or 5 times a day
There's a video of a version of "Nothing to Say" in Toronto if im not mistaken, and he fucking melted that mic. ruclips.net/video/R5qvhuQuWXQ/видео.html Aaaaaaaand there it is... I think he just invented a whole new note there.
Melvortar naxtar "That voice it was like a some greek god singing on the top of mount Olympus!" ...and he's still singing it from the Heavens shining down upon us!
Farewell, old friend. I'm sad that I'll never witness you or any band you've been apart of. May you rest peacefully with those whose time came too soon.
totally agree, this is the best version i've seen (or heard) of this one. thail's guitar and cornell's vocals are surreal, amazing band. there was a method to the madness...
I have a CD bootleg of this show that I bought in 1991-truly one of their best shows I know of. Thanks so much for posting- it's amazing to see what I've been listening to for so long!
He's a little too rangey here for the sake of it. Even early on Cornell didn't often go this clean with the higher notes. It's fun in an experimental way but I might prefer the versions where his mix is thicker and his tone is richer, he got more consistent with belting very shortly after this period - Temple of the Dog, Badmotorfinger, Superunknown - especially live and it's a spectacle to hear when he's perfectly balancing that heavy hyper mix with his range access, you even get some of the best live takes of their then older songs like Beyond the Wheel many times over during that time. That super connected heavy resonance/mix/distortion combo with freedom of range is the sound that made him so iconic and that he retained in one measure or another until he passed. Granted he was maturing very quickly during the late 80's. It's definitely awesome to see him command his range like this with perhaps more class than he previously did, up until 90 he could sometimes push the envelope too far just because he could (probably a necessary phase). He's enjoying his range here without screaming his ass off or being overly sloppy.
Impresionante. Una lástima que semejante rango de voz le constó un desgaste considerable muy temprano en su carrera. Para el siguiente año el ya no pudo cantar ésta canción igual. Aún así, sus graves mejoraron muchísimo.
That voice it was like a some greek god singing on the top of mount Olympus!
Yup, and you know what? the live DVD of AiC gave me the same feeling.
@@f7empest Nah
Haha. Good one!
That scream shook the moon 🚀 🌚
the galaxy
My God!! What a voice! The king of vocals in my opinion. RIP CHRIS!!
got to give matt cameron some love! Great fucking drummer

You’re the first person in world history to ever describe Flop as “great”.
@@Fakename70 I want to thank you in advance for my prizewinning biscuits, which I assume are in the mail.
No one sings like you anymore, :( . . . Remembering Chris.

@@nabonidusscorpio6090 yes Maynard James Keenan ...he immensely respected Chris.
The benchmark for rock vocals. Chris was a god!
Chris didn't own a shirt in the 90's! Fine by me, rock GOD!
You're funny:)..Rest In Peace now Chris,we will always miss you brother:'(Thank you for being so badass & thank you for your art.
Jim Page? Coincidence? Jimmy loved Chris ;).
Great sound but nothing beats seeing them live in a Philly dive club in November 89 that held 200 people. They opened with The Ugly Truth and Kim's guitar just cut right through you! I can still feel it like it was yesterday!
Those vocals are a serious force to reckon with
My fav song by these guys
Chris Cornell's death still makes me so sad, I guess it always will :(
I adore the talent of Ben and Chris. My contemporary music is mostly horrendous and it saddens me that I was not lucky to have been around when Soundgarden graced this earth. PS: Justice for Chris who was used and abused by those who were supposed to care for him.
With you brother I'm 22 and I'm so sad I wasn't a part of this
crazy peak vocal ability!
I love you guy's forever
Best singer of all times..

This was a year before Badmotorfinger.

This was still LTL era.

the scream at 7:34 is insane.. probably the highest note from Chris..

Witnessing Chris Cornell live for the first time ...I think it was the Reseda Country Club.....humbled and inspired me until this very day.
Farewell, old friend. I'm sad that I'll never witness you or any band you've been apart of. May you rest peacefully with those whose time came too soon.
WOW!

One of my favorite songs. LOVE IT
The best Druns!
This whole concert blew me away. Another great performance!

Complete badass. At the height of their stuff
Holy shit this is amazing
Pazzesco Chris Cornell. Che voce, nessuno cantava come lui. Love Chris.💕
Those peaks Chris hit omg, Nose bleed!!!!
Pre-Badmotorfinger, absolutely. He was never the same after 1990.
This is truly amazing!!! Great LIVE version!

Great fucking version for sure but my personal favorite is still at the 92 lollapaloza or however it’s written
Saw that show. Pretty amazing.

Aún así, sus graves mejoraron muchísimo.
How?
Jeeves, power up the time machine.
We're going to need some flannel shirts and worn jeans.
Pity the Posies for having to go on before SG.
Chris Cornell reigns forever!
