So I went to see Chris Cornell at Ram's Head Live! two nights ago.... It was OK.
Stage was VERY sparse - i think my boyfriend's band has more stage accessories than CC did last night. CC was pretty good - did a bunch of old Soundgarden songs, some newer Audioslave, a few solo songs from the time in between those bands, and a couple of new songs with his new band.
He introduced the new band a few times - i still have no idea what they are called (they weren't listed on the website or on any promtional materials.)
Typical show - they played for about 2 hours and then went backstage and came back for their first encore. It was at this point that CC started asking the crowd, "what's my name?" - Like 4 times! Hello? um... we know your name - that's why we were there.... it just seemed a little self-centered and rude actually... they played one more song and then left the stage again.
It was at this point that d and i left. Apparently the band came back on stage for a second encore and they played a cover of Michael Jackson's Billie JEan. The Post gave this song a so/so review.
Over all I would have to say that i give the experience a B- for their sparse stage setting, being rude, performing like a really good cover band (not really tight unless they were playing one of their original songs), and not having any girl/woman concert t-shirt options. This grade would have been a "C" but he is still totally HOT for being like 40 years old.
