Soundgarden -- New York, NY -- January 23rd, 2013

[Coma323]

Crushing show. Ended up one person back from the rail after waiting a half hour in the cold but it was worth it. This was my second time seeing them and the last was at Mohegan Sun Arena so I was pumped to be seeing them in a smaller venue. I wish more bands played 2.5 hour sets and switched them up like this. There were a few songs that I would have loved to seen again that weren't played but who am I to complain with a 28 song setlist. The only thing I was disappointed with was backing tracks in Rowing, not sure why Chris can't sing them. Closing with 4th of July FTW!! One of my favorite songs and Ben's bass in that song is ungodly. :rocker:

Zero Chance, Like Suicide AND Fresh Tendrils??? :mad::mad::mad:

[Sanitarium78]

That's probably my favorite of the encores they've done so far.

Great f'n show!

Agreed about Rowing. I noticed a few other places that prerecorded tracks were used. Matt does a great job w/ backing vocals, so why not on all songs that need them? Wacky.

Highlights of the night for me were:
6. Loud Love
9. Live to Rise
10. Non-State Actor
11. My Wave
12. Been Away Too Long
14. Blow Up the Outside World
18. By Crooked Steps
19. Outshined
24. Rowing
26. Rusty Cage
27. The Day I Tried to Live

Lowlights:
13. Worse Dreams (did not come off well live, IMO)
23. Black Hole Sun (Chris just didn't seem 'on')
28. 4th of July (placement issue for me)

Yeah, and MAILMAN!

WOW! Best setlist of this tour by a mile...

I think 4th of July works well as a closer based upon how heavy it comes across live and the fact that I love that song. I wish I would've caught another show or two to hear more songs. I'll be seeing them in May at the MMRBQ with AiC so I'm sure I'll hear some others then.
