He looks like he is annoyed with the sound man for not getting his volume right, but did the show anyway. Maybe the rest of the band was tired of being outshined by their singer and messed with his volume, this was a later concert after they reunited. It seems more like a lack of volume then effort. Not like all those old timers were out there banging their heads anyway.
You can tell he’s applying some sort of voice lesson applications. He’s easing into that head voice, not tightening that throat, sounds a little extra ‘crow-y’ but relaxed, and not as much distortion like in the badmotorfinger album. This is honestly the most consistent I’ve heard him live since his loudlove era.
He "missed" a lot of the high bits. Obviously on purpose. Maybe he didnt want to risk his vocal chords or just wasn't feeling it who knows...sure he could have still gone higher. Oh well still amazing. Wish he'd done some of the higher bits though.looking at him and mannerisms he didn't seem totally right so maybe it was that
Who else would you place next to Chris.. Me? Judas Priest's Rob Halford. Sabbath's Ronnie James. And mayhap Queensryche singer.. or the Disturbed fellow. But CC is first imo.
The fact is that he has such a complete domain of the beat, that he knows exactly where and when to make the hit. That's why his songs are difficult to hear, because he is not beating the shit out of the drums, what he does it's a complete balance of not playing too high and not playing too low
October 1996 I had the Privilege to see Soundgarden live here in my Hometown in Germany... the Down on the Upside Tour.... they played for over 2 Hours... it was MAGNIFICENT!!!!
Same year and tour: Casalecchio di Reno - Italy, September 25. They were huge. Did however a very good job (with Matt Chamberlain on drums) in Villafranca di Verona, July 2014.
When he hit and held notes like the one at 3:47, there is something awe-inspiring, empowering and uplifting about it. The fact that there are so many performances like this, is something that people who admire the man and his music can be grateful for.
Matt is such a badass on the drums, he just did an interview with Rick Beato and it is awesome! Legend! We miss you Chris, gone too soon, all time favorite!!
Christopher John Cornell (né Boyle; July 20, 1964 - May 18, 2017) Written by Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell, this is one of his more personal songs. It deals with the extremes of his personality: how he can feel like he's on top of the world one moment and in the gutter the next. The line, "I am looking California but feeling Minnesota" became one of the most memorable Soundgarden lyrics. Chris Cornell came up with that line when he was in a dour mood and looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing his typical outfit of baggy shorts and a T-shirt (high fashion in the '90s), and realized that he looked like a carefree beachgoer, even though he didn't feel like one. Live performances of this song always included the "Chris Cornell Stomp," which became one of his signature stage moves. The band wasn't happy with the clip, which was directed by Matt Mahurin - he was also working Metallica's "The Unforgiven" at the time, and Soundgarden thought they were getting short shrift. Guitarist Kim Thayil was particularly frustrated, since his solo was edited out.
@@brianpinion5844 Exactly! I see Soundgarden as one of those bands that would not be the same, wouldn't be as great if any of the members were any other.
r.I.p. chris cornell one of the last original grunge gods of rock in the 90's your powerful vocal abilities are arguably the greatest of that incredible time in music only competion is with the also late great layne stayley I will b missed r.I.p. Chris ,landrew,layne,mike,and kurt
@@DrunkenSlob God. If God is for you, who can be against you? They can kill our bodies, but they cannot kill the soul. That's why you see the attack of people's minds and souls. I speculate that very troubled people, like Chris Cornell, may actually be on the frontlines of an inter-dimensional battle... I mean Black Hole Sun literally has lizard people in it... Nothing is what it seems.
Chris is and always will be one of the greatest singers of all time and if you don't agree, you are not listening! He hits notes consistently that sounds like he's at his limit but watching him sing the song, shows no struggle? His pitch is spot on especially live!. I had the opportunity to see him play acoustic in Burlington Vermont and he was simply AWAZING! The music world is a lesser place without him but I am sure that he has plenty of great musicians to jam with in heaven! The music world is a lesser place without him!
As a Millennial given Badmotorfinger in 10th grade 2008. Later Audioslave, then Temple of the Dog. And holy shit I never would've thought 6 years later I'd see Soundgarden (w/ Nine Inch Nails). One of my most appreciative shows since Cornell is probably my favorite vocalist. Like I comment on every video with him, he's the Robert Plant of our time or his voice is Plant esque IMO
Dude you should check out Mastodon's new EP A Cold Dark Place. Those guys are really keeping the fire burning alive with something new and innovative in the scene. They never settle, always pushing the boundaries. Also if you are on acid, and you wanna flip out check out this song called Tarkus by Emerson Lake & Palmer
What on the surface looks like a laid-back or lifeless performance, is actually a soulful and powerful mike-drop. The longer it went on, the more I felt like they conveyed “we give you this much - because imore would be vulgar display of power.” Brilliant session.
I got up feeling so down I got off being sold out I've kept the movie rolling But the story's getting old now, oh yeah I just looked in the mirror And things aren't looking so good I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota, oh yeah So now you know, who gets mystified So now you know, who gets mystified Show me the power child I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today Yeah, it gives me butterflies, gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again Yeah I'm feeling Oh, I'm feeling outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined Oh yeah Yeah Someone let the dogs out They'll show where the truth is The grass is always greener Where the dogs are shitting, oh yeah I'm feeling that I'm sober Even though I'm drinking I can't get any lower Still I feel I'm sinking So now you know, who gets mystified So now you know, who gets mystified Show me the power child I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today Yeah, it gives me butterflies gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again Oh I'm feeling Oh, I'm feeling outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined Oh yeah, hmm Outshined, oh oh Oh, so now you know, who gets mystified Show me the power child I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today Yeah, it gives me butterflies gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again Oh I'm feeling Oh, I'm feeling Show me the power child I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today Yeah, it gives me butterflies gives me away Till I'm up on my feet again Oh, I'm feeling Oh, I'm feeling Outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined
Seen him a year before his death Went to the upper most row in the corner of the amphitheater for a smoke and my friend and I couldn't believe how powerful his voice still sounded....in fact I was right in front of the stage in 96 when they played lollapalooza and he sounded way more powerful the next time I saw him 20 yrs later
Chris's vocal's were spot on. I think though that somewhere along the the line he either lost site of how much his "performance" mattered or - he just couldn't do it anymore or didn't care. His live stuff early on was epic.
Matt is one of the best of all time and is not underrated in my book!!! He played for soundgarden, pearl jam, tempelhof the non dog and he nails it EVERY time. Miss Chris too 🙁❤
how does one define kind of perfect !! ~? I do play music and find this to be just they're usual amazing output ! AND yes Chris Cornell does look like he's just barely holding himself up but still great performance !!
Absolutely perfection..no instruments or players is buried or forgotten...riffs so kick ass they do not even need a guitar solo..playing at night adds the flavor even if the crowds is mystified.
Ben, Matt, Chris and Kim all look they could have been a mechanic, a fast food worker, a lawyer, and a salesman but god said nah were gonna put these 4 into a rock and roll super group and the rest is history!!!!! Thank you Soundgarden.
The early nineties: I was 8-9 years old... Soundgarden was just that black hole sun band on MTV 2021: Soundgarden is the best band ever. It isn't fair I was too young to appreciate them back in the day :( :( :(
He just didn't look like he was feeling it anymore. We all are or have been in this position a some point in our lives. Still what a legend without even trying.
One of my favorite songs! His vocals are just not human, incredible! I now understand why he was throwing his mic in 94. The PA screwed up his voice mayor time but he gig was still outstanding!

I'm looking California but feeling Minnesota. One of the greatest lines ever, and one I completely related too.
My absolute favorite line. I sadly relate to it as well...
MN REP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even when he's barely trying, Chris still outsings anyone putting all their effort in it. One of the all-time greats.
Joseph Bastidas yap. Can’t agree more!!
Not really
I guess you could say, he "Outshined" the rest.... I'll see myself out.
It seems like he's not since it is so easy for him I think is what you meant to say. He sounded as good as ever.
He looks like he is annoyed with the sound man for not getting his volume right, but did the show anyway. Maybe the rest of the band was tired of being outshined by their singer and messed with his volume, this was a later concert after they reunited. It seems more like a lack of volume then effort.

Oh well still amazing. Wish he'd done some of the higher bits though.looking at him and mannerisms he didn't seem totally right so maybe it was that
Chris absolutely didnt give a shit here. He isnt trying at all. And he still sounds amazing. He's on my vocalist Mount Rushmore.
Nah man, he just couldn't do it after '94. His voice suffered a lot in the years before Superunknown.
It could be the meds he was on. Scott Weiland had a similar dissociated look at a performance before his death.
@@SoloDallasII what meds could be causing it?
@@blue2434 Ativan or however its pronounced I think
Who else would you place next to Chris.. Me? Judas Priest's Rob Halford. Sabbath's Ronnie James. And mayhap Queensryche singer.. or the Disturbed fellow. But CC is first imo.
Even when he looked like he was barely trying to sing, he was better than 99% of the singers out there. A huge loss 😔
Matt Cameron is a pretty underrated drummer.
Terribly.
I beg to differ/even tho i hear ya/lol/ matts a top tenner,total beast
It's a fucking crime, but give it a decade or two, he will be recognized for his talent
Glad he's sticking around to see that, hopefully.
The fact is that he has such a complete domain of the beat, that he knows exactly where and when to make the hit. That's why his songs are difficult to hear, because he is not beating the shit out of the drums, what he does it's a complete balance of not playing too high and not playing too low
Soundgarden's reunion was one of the greatest things to happen in the last decade. Long live the Seattle sound!
RIP. You're the only celebrity who has passed that still hits hard. You're missed

Matt is a machine.
And Ben is a groove master.
When he hit and held notes like the one at 3:47, there is something awe-inspiring, empowering and uplifting about it. The fact that there are so many performances like this, is something that people who admire the man and his music can be grateful for.
I liked the one at 2:40 better 😊
Yeah man. It’s this moments that make the hairs on your neck stand up. Miss this fucking guy.
Its called playback
@@MrAwesome84 laughing intensely at your comment
That performance was absolutely amazing and I never get tired of listening to it...
From time to time I come back to this video😂
I love this video ❤ I keep coming back just to hear his amazing voice!
Don’t get better than this!
Time to come back
Need some more love for Kim Thayil in these comments. Amazing. No virtuoso but such a great tone, very tasteful crunch and feel. Love him
Hear hear. Kim is so underrated.
His tone and change is second to none.
🙌🙌🙌
Less is more (sometimes)
You just put into words exactly what I was thinking! Seriously!? ..🤘🏼
Chris your voice is beautiful
This performance has got an early Black Sabbath feel to it. Specially the intro and 1st verse. Dark and heavy in the unique SG way.
2:37 you can tell he was struggling with his inner demons but still gave a stellar performance RIP CHRIS
“No one sings like you anymore”
That opening bass riff is one of the baddest ever
Still badass after all these years. Tighter than a nut in a nutcracker.
That reverb on his voice just enhances his incredible voice
Ikr
That guitar tone is just gorgeous.
Still not even close to being okay with living in a world without Chris Cornell. RIP to the man...
We doing better? Chris was one of a kind, him and Layne Staley deserve all the respect
@@jackblackfan4202
Outshined and Junkhead are one of my favorites 🔥 🔥 🔥
Me neither.
Matt is such a badass on the drums, he just did an interview with Rick Beato and it is awesome! Legend! We miss you Chris, gone too soon, all time favorite!!
2:40 when he held that note and the vibrato 🙏🏽 you were amazing Chris
Black Sabbath-like riff + Cornell vocals = awesomeness
This performance is just SO DAMN good. R.I.P to yet another legendary fallen singer/songwriter/musician/
performer of our time 😢😢😢.

Holy shit. I've always loved Kim's guitar playing, he sure played a big part in the whole Soundgarden's essence and vibe
yes he did ! love them all but i know what ya saying ! he gets well overlooked ! i know Chris knows every note to. but kim s sound set it off !
@@brianpinion5844 Exactly! I see Soundgarden as one of those bands that would not be the same, wouldn't be as great if any of the members were any other.

Rock Gods who walked among us! Now dearly departed!
Miss him...big time.
If you need help, please find it. Peace people.
HE WAS KILLED !!
That's an awful advice. Sometimes you try to find something and it keeps slipping further...
You can’t get help against the Illuminati
Chris was murdered.

What a terrible fkn loss! He's effortlessly amazing!💞💞💞💞
Hear Chris singing always put a smile on my face.
Chris was a badass. So beautiful and the voice of an an angel
That was the coldest live version of Outshined I’ve ever listened to. 🎼🎼🎼
What on the surface looks like a laid-back or lifeless performance, is actually a soulful and powerful mike-drop. The longer it went on, the more I felt like they conveyed “we give you this much - because imore would be vulgar display of power.”
Brilliant session.
Well said
I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now, oh yeah
I just looked in the mirror
And things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota, oh yeah
So now you know, who gets mystified
So now you know, who gets mystified
Show me the power child

Oh yeah
Yeah
Someone let the dogs out
They'll show where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shitting, oh yeah
I'm feeling that I'm sober

Chills man
@@RetroHabit82 For sure
He can sing without effort over the music dam wish so much he was here with us 😢🌹🐞®

His voice was just too good for this world :/
Just too good for this world and it's bullshit.👍🤘
Exactly
Bang UrHead 💯 looking at it now he really WAS to good for here . That being said I’m still being selfish and wish he could come back 💔
Chris said in an interview that he hated things of this sort..
QAq

i hear this is played in many senior homes to ward off evil spirts, must be played LOUD!!
What a loss. This guy was a fucking giant of his time. RIP brother.
First Time I saw them was 1990 in Houston at Unicorn Ball Room been hooked ever since man !! RIP Cornell

Holy shit. This was so good.
Happy Birthday my beautiful boy! You are missed beyond measure!

the delicate sound of Chris voice reminds of the mid 90´s.
