Soundgarden opened the night with Searching With My Good Eye Closed and the roof of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl was brought down with utter adulation and passion for a band that is well respected and much loved. It had been way too long between gigs and when they announced a comeback, thousands of fans grabbed the opportunity to witness the hysteria again. The weather proved to be on our side tonight with clear skies revealing the stars, moon and bats. Into Spoonman and Jesus Christ Pose they band went where Chris displayed a voice that is extraordinarily talented and strong whilst the other band members - Ben, Matt and Kim gave us amazing bass strutts, drums that pounded into the night and guitar bursts to inspire one and all.
A screen was on stage behind curtains at the back and it opened and closed throughout the night and most of it displayed stuff of the 'why bother' kind (except the eye, I heart eyeballs), but with Black Hole Sun the eyeball changed into the sun and from then on the images that burst out were desirable.
Other songs include 4th of July, Loud Love, Hunted Down and The Day I Tried To Live. Twenty songs completed the over two hour set list and punters went home exclaiming over one amazing night performed by a legendary Seattle band.
BTW I think most of the punters around me when home with passive smoking of the stoner kind! oh and the singers name is now Lance!
