The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Something about Chris cornells stage demeanor is hilarious to me. That taking a dump squat stance at the microphone, all that stomping...I assume he doesn't do that nowadays but yeah.

DoTU's tail end has the stylistic rivers and valleys usually reserved for concept albums by more typically eccentric artists. Its a very engaging journey. To give it 7/10 would be missing the point entirely in my opinion.

Was a great show. Dude has some incredible pipes. Bolded stuff below were the highlights for me. He flubbed the beginning of A Day in the Life but restarted and nailed it. Seasons was amazing as was all ToTD stuff. Imagine to close it all out was perfect as well. I even enjoyed the audioslave and solo stuff even though I wasn't very familiar with it.

This is the set I was lucky enough to witness last night in St. Paul:
Scar on the Sky Two Drink Minimum Silence the Voices Dandelion Getaway Car Original Fire Sunshower Sweet Euphoria Halfway There Fell on Black Days Seasons The Day I Tried To Live Like a Stone When I'm Down Can't Change Me Wooden Jesus Footsteps (Pearl Jam) All Night Thing Hunger Strike Redemption Song (Bob Marley) Never Far Away Doesn't Remind Me Be Yourself --Encore-- Misery Chain Zero Chance Billie Jean (Michael Jackson) Dear Prudence (The Beatles) Black Hole Sun Imagine (John Lennon)
i wouldn't even know where to begin if i tried to review it. it was amazing. the wooden jesus > footsteps > all night thing run was probably 12 of the best minutes of my life. it would be followed closely by the sunshower > sweet euphoria > halfway there run. what's great about chris is that you can tell there is nothing else he'd rather be doing. touring isn't a burden, and playing 29 songs happens because it is what he wants to do. people yelled shit constantly, and he acknowledged everything and had a good time with it. my favorite response was, "are you the same guy who yells birth ritual at every show?" if i had one complaint, it's that there is a little too much audioslave, but that said, getaway car was an absolute highlight. if chris is touring in your area and you're even a casual fan, it is worth every penny. he may do a fell on black days > seasons > the day i tried to live run when you see him, and if you're like me, you'll be blown away that such majesty was your third favorite 3 song run of the night.
I wouldn't call the album version horrible. It's not all that different from the demo. It's just the tempo and the high register vocal up front makes it a little too "sunny" for a SG album. By itself I like it just fine.
