I saw the first of the two shows of Soundgarden at Sound Academy by myself. I got to the venue one hour before the gates open and I was surprised to see that only 10-15 people were already in line. After a coat check and gone to the washroom, I've managed to be at the barricade on the left side, where Kim Thayil is. Soundgarden took the stage at 8:35-8:40 PM. Overall, it was a very good concert. They played a 28 songs, 2 h 30 min set. The crowd actually got more aggressive only about 11 songs in. Despite this, I was able to stay at the same spot throughout the whole show. I even managed to high-five and fist-bump Chris Cornell during two songs. The only down side of the show was that the volume of Chris' vocal wasn't well balanced with the music. He sounded really good, just that the music was a bit louder than Chris singing, but I was still able to hear him throughout the show. Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and Matt Cameron were awesome as well. Finally, they also have some great visuals. I definitely would go see them again.
