Soundgarden -- Chicago, IL -- July 16th, 2011

[petrovar]

Venue: UIC Pavilion
Source: Me

I decided that since I had never seen one of my favorite bands of all time live and that this may be the last chance I get, why not drive from Cleveland to Chicago to catch it on a Saturday night?

1. Searching With My Good Eye Closed
2. Spoonman
3. Room a Thousand Years Wide
4. Jesus Christ Pose
5. Blow Up the Outside World
6. The Day I Tried to Live
7. My Wave
8. Fell on Black Days
9. Ugly Truth
10. Hunted Down
11. Outshined
12. Flower
13. Rusty Cage
14. Black Hole Sun
15. Burden in My Hand
16. Pretty Noose
17. 4th of July
18. Superunknown
19. Beyond the Wheel

Encore:
20. Nothing To Say
21. Mailman
22. Like Suicide
23. Slaves & Bulldozers

I could not have asked for a better show from them. I was 2 rows from the front, right in front of Kim. For those wondering, yes Chris' voice is still top notch. Great setlist, a few awesome surprises (Mailman, Flower and Superunknown). Highlights were Beyond the Wheel, Like Suicide, Rooms and 4th of July.

Mars Volta opened. Great set by them as well. Not sure of the set, but they played newer stuff

This was on my radar screen because of The Mars Volta, and because my wife's family lives on Chicago, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. Looks like a pretty good Soundgarden set, though. As long as it has "Outshined", "Jesus Christ Pose", "Spoonman" and "Rusty Cage", I would have been happy.

Holy shit and fuck me sideways! If they play Flower I will die of happiness.

I was at that show. My girlfriend and I drove from Milwaukee. I wasn't a big Soundgarden fan, but they really impressed me, especially hearing 4th of July. Although the sound was pretty bad, imo, it was a good show.

True, the sound could have been a bit better. I noticed Kim's guitar wasn't turned up all that loud. Ben's bass was up a ton during the encore.
