Chris Cornell - overfloater, 4th of july, etc

[snoopsnout]

Guitarist fucks up at 5:03. Cornell just looks over and gives him a nod of support. Then screams out the chorus with passion. That's how it's done.

[SD78]

That version of Overfloater sounds a bit like No Quarter.

[AudioGardenSlave123]

No Cornell has not fallen off a bit, at all he sounds great first off i hate it when people criticize his voice on these live videos, the crowd is loud, this video is 240p quality and the speakers themselve cannot pump out perfect quality they are just too big and then theres the echo and the having to sing over the instruments which are extremely loud and this was probubly recorded on a phone or a crappy camera my point is made

[xLocox]

God I dig this song. And SG. And Chris.

[rainbowDETHkitty]

overfloater is a f**king religious experience hearing it live. {speechless}

[Hugolastra]

la neta si se la rifo como canto....

4th of july tssss no mames

si alcanzo los gritotes desgarrantes bien altosss, al vergazo:D

[freshtendrills]

Well atleast chris's voice still sounds ok . He butchered the fucking lyrics though!!

[jnbeetle]

i just dont understand why when people comment they have to cuss. i guess you can blame public school for that too, limited vocabularies. its so sad.

[WeedsteRz]

Overfloater just got fucked in the ass

[Marcelis]

i like th eSlaves&bulldozers intro

[nicknack989]

i fuckin love overfloater! definitely one of my favorite soundgarden tunes

[pacilias]

Is this what art has become. A platform for judgement? Have to relate things to something? Have to compare things to others? Imagine the potential if you used that energy, for creation. Yes, Cornell has fallen off a bit. Hes given us a lot....

[TheEditorialist]

"Is this what art has become. A platform for judgement?"

***

Amen.

I wish I had said that.

[TheEditorialist]

I generally don't like medleys, but this one had some pretty cool transitions.

There were some interesting change ups, maybe some people didn't like them. But it takes guts to rework a masterpiece.

And it looks like the crowd was digging the show, so what's not to like?

Bona-fide jam. 5*

[TheEditorialist]

Oh yeah. Chris is as old as I am.

And I've lost 30% of my vocal range without even trying. Chris lost only 10% of his working it hard for years on the road. I don't know how he did it, but I gotta hand it to him. Being able to sing like this after you hit 40 is a miracle.

You younger guys don't realize, but you will.

[enjoiskater7777]

I have something to say to superdude13666

your a mother fucking piece of shit

chris will always be a great artist and doesn't need to retire until his voice retires

he still sounds pretty good.

do you think if you sang as high as he did when he was in soundgarden you'd still be able to make any sort of vocal noise?

i doubt it

fuck you

your living proof that conception through anal sex is possible

[joshtope]

wtf is the guitar player doing during overfloater and 4th of july? thanks for butchering classics you fuckin loser

[matrixman609]

sounds like you don't want to give an artist freedom to play what he wants. i you want it the way its "supposed" to sound, listen to the studio version

[superdude13666]

It almost like CC got up in the morning and said to him self, "I'm going to play a bunch of awesome songs BUT, I'm going to make them sound like shit."

Chris Cornell, please retire.

[olajezewicz]

Buahahaha, very true! :) They were great over 10 years ago, but this performance was rubbish...

[Blueslounge]

The intro part is "Slaves and Bulldozers" of Badmotorfinger.

[gabecardinale]

beneath another shovel-load

[pepelant]

jesus tries to crack a smile

[synthburn]

sounds like the adult contemporary version of 4th of july

[Layne4eva]

4th of july. fuck!!!

amazing song!

[lTheShieldl]

My second favorite. Burden in my hand is slightly better in my mind. Such a great band soundgarden was!

[TMW1990]

I dont know what happen to his voice during Audioslave, but when I saw him on his solo tour last year his voice was on par with SG.

Its not the same without Thayil and the boys though..

[CCSoundgardenCC]

he sounded bad at some points live with audioslave...now he sounds great...

[Audioslave3]

They really fucked up Overfloater!!!

[Quinnpie]

Holy SHIT!  4th of July...dumbstruck! He's the best he's been for years!

[JgMilly]

Absolutely amazing! I wish I could have seen this one live. His voice sounds the best it has in years!

[KBjalme]

WOW!!! I saw him in Reading, PA and in Allentown, PA and in Allentown he did one of these medleys but it was with Slaves and Bulldozers instead of Overfloater. But, I totally agree... It is so trippy. The man is a genius. Check out the "Cleaning my Gun- Reading, PA" its a song he wrote for Johnny Cash that never got released. It's amazing.

[felipebirds]

4th of july is the best song i ever listened in my life...

[lTheShieldl]

I just feel something special in the song. It's so weird!

[deepwhiff]

I love it at 5:09.... CC looks back after bassist kinda screws it up, its like, no big deal, we're gonna rock this shit. Great clip.

[phiaman]

what a good fucking show...cornell was really gettin into at this one....does anyone know where this one was at???...i saw 3 times in 07..all fuckin great shows...especially the one at stubbs...

[deepwhiff]

great version of 4th of july- thanks for posting- chills!

[ralbon]

Nice to see he's starting to play more b-sides... Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, Rusty Cage, Outshined etc are all great, but us die heard SG fans want more b-sides! :P

[phiaman]

could not agree with you anymore on that one...soundgarden has so many badass bsides that are unknown..

[hammer2010]

yeah, me and my friend were right up front for the last couple songs. this was the best concert ive ever been to. Even LIVE he sounds awesome!

[lorivig]

This was a kick ass show!! I must have been within a few feet of whoever was taping this..Thanks for posting!

[evilnerdap]

Hooooly crap!

[Scap1981]

Cornell is just out of control recently with his voice. Utterly and completely out of control resurgence.

He is in the studio recorded his next album and I am SURE the vocals will be intense.

[phiaman]

is he in the process of a new album? if so i cant fuckin wait

[rcherasaro]

yeah!!!

[pentalway]

Whoa the 4th of july version was trippy, compared to its studio version anyways.
