That would probably be worth going, just to hear some Soundgarden tunes.

Anyone know for sure if he plays any Soundgarden in his solo sets?
I was a huge fan back then, though I must admit I never really got into the Audioslave stuff.

He will probably do a few songs maybe acoustically (i.e. Like suicide).

Well when you factor TM's service charges and GST this easily becomes a $65 ticket. Not worth it, IMO. But then a band has to be pretty well legendary for me to spend more than $50 on a ticket.

Wow, this got sent down to the 3rd page pretty quick!
If anyone is interested, there is an internet presale. Tomorrow morning at 10am until Thursday morning at 10am.
I can't afford to go, so if anyone wants my password, pm me.
Oh and for those complaining about the price, you can go see him in Saskatoon for 37.50!

It is hard to find a ticket under $50 these days. Seems like a fair price for a Cornell. He's got loads of songs.
In a world where artists are selling fewer and fewer albums you can only expect concert tickets to go up. Soon $50 will be a bargain.

I read a press release saying the tour setlists will feature "Soundgarden, Temple Of The Dog and Audioslave tunes"

Concerts are one of the few things I dont mind spending a few bucks on. Totally worth it to me to hear perfect fidelity, and to see some heroes.
Chris is a favorite of mine. I'm going

Eh? Maybe in Jack Singer or the Jubilee, but not in that box made of steel and concrete called Mac Hall.
Yeah, I'll be picking up a ticket, kinda getting tired of being gouged though. But I guess we'll all rich here in Calgary, or so the promoters think. Maybe Ticketmaster aren't the biggest crooks around.
You guys hear Cornell's cover of Billie Jean? Very cool.

Here is a cool Soundgarden cover of 'Communication Breakdown'. Cornell could make a killer tribute album of LZ
