Rock legend Chris Cornell overlooking the ecstatic crowd in St. Louis @ Pop's
I’m about a week late on this, so forgive me. For those of you who haven’t checked it out yet, there’s a set of Buzznet Exclusive photos of Chris Cornell’s show in St. Louis I took on April 21st. The review of the show is as follows:
Chris Cornell made quite an epic entrance as he took the stage on April 21st in St.Louis, and was more than well received as longtime loyal fans packed the house to the brim @ Pop’s nightclub, making it quite an intense and intimate show! From the moment he walked up the platform following the rest of his band to the first notes he sung opening with Part Of Me, it was very clear that Chris Cornell had not lost his fervor in his live performances after all these years and doesn’t plan on stepping down anytime soon.
Chris belted out everything from new material off of his latest release, Scream, to his cover of Billie Jean, to the earlier Soundgarden classics such as Spoonman, Outshined and encored with BlackHole Sun. He even broke out Temple Of The Dog’s Hunger Strike and asked the audience for participation to fill in for a missing Eddie Vedder’s vocals. As you can imagine, the crowd went crazy with nostalgic bliss and responded with nothing short of enthusiasm! His intense presence onstage has less to do with theatrics as it does his interaction with the crowd and vocal range. Performing a total of 26 songs spanning over a career of nearly 2 decades proves that not only is his live performance an intense trip down rock memory lane but a validation that no matter what he does, Chris Cornell can pull it off and still be one of rock’s most versatile vocalists. Witnessing it and capturing it all was quite a thrill. Special thanks to Kron & buzznet, and Ryan Kelley @ Pop’s for making it all possible.
