Of course, you're right. And to make it even better than you describe....this was at the famed FOX Theatre! It's a beautiful, opulent theatre; as if stuck in another time. I once drove from Des Moines, Iowa to The FOX in Detroit, to see the White Stripes. The place is truly beautiful and intimate. And the acoustics are some of the finest-engineered of any venue in the business. There truly isn't a bad seat in the house. I treasure this show. Of course, with today's news of "fresh track marks", etc...yeah, our guy is for real. He meant every word he said. True fans knew this innately. That kind of real darkness cannot be faked. That's why he never felt fake. At all. Ever. He always came across completely for real; the realest motherfucker in the room.
Depression is very confusing, and it makes you want to kill yourself. You think about it hundreds of times a day! I know because I am clinically depressed with PTSD and panic disorder. I'm not sure what it's from either, I've been in multiple serious car accidents. But I know exactly what it's like but this case has some extenuating circumstances that don't add up the guy who found him changed his story and waited to call 911 until after he called Chris's wife, that doesn't add up. Even the police report said the scene looked like he couldn't have put the exercise strap over the door and closed it by himself. I'm not saying I think he was "suicided," but his wife 2 weeks prior to his death donated 400k to a fund for missing and exploited children. That's 3 suspicious things associated with his death. There's even more like the autopsy that in itself is a story all on its own. Benzos make you feel good, but if you take them for a long time, they start to make you feel even more depressed and suicidal. Either way, "get off my wave" Rock in Peace Brother, you changed my life. I can't wait to jam with you in the " great big gig in the sky."
I've never had a conversation with him, I was able to hug him at a concert once, man I miss this guy. Just makes me sad knowing he's not in this world with us. We all miss you Chris
He was the G.O.A.T. His voice sounds like a new element, a form of massive energy, he could still hit notes from 30 years ago, volume, expansion, range and techniques. Cornell was unbeatable as a vocalist, not even Plant or Mercury could have mastered his voice so well. God of music.
he was unbeatable, but he wasn't in his best here, not even close.. he seems tired, under the influence of something.. like humming in your home, but you cant hit high notes due to the neighbours.. he wasn't well and Soundgarden songs are nothing short of stressful to your voice... but no one kills himself after asking for a laptop assistance... I wonder what that last call for his wife contained..
Chris looked like he didn't wanna be there at all. Bless him. If there's a heaven then I hope he is there. Rest In Peace man, my broken heart goes out to you Chris.
I think he was drugged. He is struggling to play and sing. He did not kill himself. He was a devout Christian and a family man and he was snuffed out like a bright candle. He left a superb legacy and his song The Promise is exceptional. Gone too soon. He knew the truth of a dark and sinister organisation that to this day still operates as a family restaurant. He is missed. 😢
@@johnfal1849Look I'm a christian but I don't know if this is the time or the place. But yes, it's a shame many people die without accepting the Gospel
F-ton S-hairs indeed. It still feels like it just happened. At this point I don't think the shock of it will ever really go away. The loss is not an acceptable one. It is immeasurable. Unthinkable.

I was too young to be a Nirvana fan when Kurt died, but this one fucking rocked me. I knew this gig was happening cos I saw Chris had posted about it on Twitter. Later that night I was told by a colleague that Chris Cornell was dead. I work in news, and was working in New Zealand at the time, so we were seeing some unconfirmed reports before we reported it. I couldn't be a part of it, and I just didn't believe it. How does someone go from eagerly posting about a massive gig they're playing to killing themselves? I walked home around 10.30pm that night, and I've had many sad walks home in my time, but that was the worst. I was just numb, and I felt like the world was off-balance. It's taken me until now to watch this...
I was actually at the Sound garden gig in Manchester they day the found Kurt. Weirdest atmosphere of any gig ever. Tad Doyle staged dive though which was fun.
Thank you for sharing. I was around for Cobain's passing and it affected me like you cant imagine. But the loss of Chris Cornell affected me much more. Chris was an angel and we miss him. Lucky for us he still lives on in his music that I listen to every day obsessively. Lately my looping playlist has been No Such Thing, Ghosts, Poison Eye, Scar on the Sky, and Silence the Voices. This playlist has carried me through many tough times, and joyful times, and the balance and depth of his music seems to accommodate any moment. CC is immortal and he makes us feel immortal when we listen to his music. His depth is astounding.
I'll be honest. I cannot bring myself to watch one second of his last performance (including this video clip). I can't even believe he is no longer with us. The sadness I feel at times when I think about it is completely unnatural for someone I've never known...But after 30 years of listening to his lyrics literally thousands of times, my soul is connected to his and that is his gift to all of us. Sometimes when I speak to people about Chris Cornell who don't really know his music and the impact he had on so many people, I feel sad for them. Too busy listening to crap like Bruno Mars and Miley Cyrus and missing out on life-altering music. It's truly sad.
I'm 43 and there are actually some millennials ive actually come across who actually don't just listen to whats current and they do their homework and dig into music history . And I am always very impressed . I cant get Chris out of my head since he passed away. Not one day has gone by that I don't think of him .makes no sense but it actually does because he was brilliant in his craft that he did touch our hearts through his music. All musicians should be able to .That's really their job. And he never lied in his music. He sang about his life that most people wouldn't dare tell other people. Ive been to hell on earth mentally. Some of his songs sing to me. And I play them over and over. Sorry just in a babbling mood on here tonight. And so I am still trying to get over his death and when I read the news about Chester Bennington and how close he was to Chris so much so that he was one of Chris' children's godfather . Ever since David Bowie died we have lost too many more in the music industry. Way too much loss. Ive lost a big part of my childhood.
Edward Rossiello Edward Rossiello if you still haven’t listened to it, I wouldn’t recommend it, because seeing the shape he is in during this show is almost as heartbreaking as what happened after it was over. And the fact that so many witnessed the condition he was in, yet he ended up in that hotel room alone, absolutely rips my heart out bc it ALMOST makes it easy to understand why the night ended so tragically.
It's incredible how good all the music is that he left to this world. Will listen to him for the rest of my life. Still feels just wrong that he's gone. I don' think his mission was finished here. RIP legend
This was an awful day. My dog died that morning, I’d raised him since he was born, Later we found out it was an even worse day and that Chris Cornell had died. A memorable awful day.
I can’t even imagine what the audience felt the day after.Imagine going on about how you saw your favourite band, and then you get hit in the face with what happened to him.Truly heartbreaking
i just discovered audioslave and was listening to the whole album completely in love and shocked by how this album has no skips and how good it sounds. I was shocked to know the lead singer died while reading about the band and although i just knew him, i started crying immediately. This is just too sad.
Really missing Chris today, what an impression he left. I fondly remember discovering Soundgarden in the 90's and I was hooked, although I would never have imagined feeling some type of way practically six years after his passing. RIP Chris Cornell.
Funny thing about rock stars: even when they are blatantly depressed, noboby will care enough to offer him some help. They just want the 'show to go on', whatever it may cost. They just want the 'thrill of it' and to listen to them classics one more time. How many people looked at the man on that stage and thought to themselves: "He's not okay"? Now, I admit that this was a nice way of saying goodbye, albeit heart-wrenching.
Poor man, he was going through some crazy stuff, the fact he took his life away an hour after that concert is extremely sad. RIP to my favorite singer, never forgotten.
Don't it will only make you sick, I have watched it over and over due to the conspiracy theory's but I DO believe for whatever reason his demons got the best of him that night........Very Sad RIP Chris, The demons will chase you no more
Donna Andrade ~~ It's a month later, and I only could watch a little more, of this video. Yes, I was sickened, and I wish I could rewind that night, and warn Chris, like we could this video. I believe it wasn't Chris' demons that got the best of him, that night. I'm just going by the forensics, that came from official documents, like the autopsy, and toxicology reports. Just reading these 2 documents, and not going by all the Conspiracy Theories, you can't help, but to come the realization that Chris, didn't kill himself. Which, makes all this all the more tragic..
I read them too but you can clearly see he was fucked up. My brother-in-law who is a nobody........died of acute alcohol poisoning but that is NOT what his death cert says! I will never watch that again.....I saw Soundgarden in 1994 at the DCU center In Worcester Massachusetts, opening for GNR. They were so good! I will keep my good memories, Chris got sober the same year I did but the demons never leave you alone!! Bless You & RIP Chris & Chester.....Say "Hey" to my brother up there with ya, he'll be smiling fro ear to ear......Take care Donna G from Donna A :)
Donna Andrade I'm so sorry about your brother. I hope you're okay. It's been 9 months, and I finally decided to watch this video until the very end. I'm still so sad, and confused. More than I was May, 18 2017.
Honest to God he was transitioning into quality folk music seamlessly. He was a extremely great lyricist who could of written in every decade. Cornell had a greater ability than most of his pairs especially in his writing. It's isolating when you are a go above a beyond personality who clearly comes to a crossroad and sees the lack of reciprocation.Suicide has layers it is never one thing but Job always is at the top of its list. Fatigue is another big one. This includes nutrient defiencies, lack of sleep. Then there are issues with facing past trauma and lack of cohesion with the ones you love. What was the bean that spilled the pot that night? Who knows? Probably all of them. Cornell, Prince, Robin Williams and Anthony Bourdain. They all blew my mind because of how much they could see of the world. I just have to believe they were really tired. Good shepherds who truly needed the rest. God rest their souls.
@@camyg275 Go fuck yourself. He unfortunately committed suicide. Saying that he was murdered is disrespectful to him as he was known to have had depression for most of his life. We need to fight depression.
@@camyg275 You got it right. Some people are so stupid. Who the hell would be stupid enough to believe Vicky's changing bullshit stories. These blind sheep don't get it.
Black hole sun was one of the first rock songs I loved at a teen in the 90s and so I've always loved Chris. It still saddens me to this day that he's not here anymore.
I feel it. His passion was for writing, not performing. There is certainly something to be said about that, and I totally relate. I wish you were still here.
its now 12-18- 17 , Im finally starting to listen to Chris. It took all this time for me and my wife to listen again. Its early in the morning right now and I'm watching this for the first time. We have seen Chris and Sound Garden about 30 times over the last 30 yrs. Ive seen him in multi states. Even Carnagie Hall in NYC which I dont think he liked too much. He said they put notes on the tables and piano about putting a glass and leaving a ring. He didnt like that. We recently went to his grave in Hollywood, which made us feel better. But this video shows me there is something going on here. He looks so High ! Im watching the way he moves and his face . He looks sloppy but he is pulling it off. He could probably do this in his sleep ! It looks to me he is not in a good way here and I wish SOMEONE did something , if they could . This is so sad .
He wouldn't wanted you to remember him like that it will want you to celebrate the end of his life and that are wet so it's not sad it's actually in a celebration
how can u say you've seen them 30x yet you claim he is pulling this off? he doesn't sing one note even near correct pitch and his timing is so messed up and lagging for the entire performance. this is painful to witness.
@@davideats9255 exactly David. There is something wrong with Chris here. Depression? Yeah sure but doubt it. He is under the influence of something. Never, ever, ever saw him this bad at a show.
Thank you for posting this! From a few years after Chris Cornell hit the scene until his death, I had always hoped he wouldn't leave us early. I'm still very sad he did. Its far too common.
It is still painful for me to listen to Chris Cornell, or Prince for that matter, since their deaths. Both still hard to believe. This is the first time I have seen any of this footage and it is profoundly sad. This is a man who was suffering. You can see it in his eyes, hear it in his voice, and it’s clear in his body language as well. You can see how terribly he was struggling just to get through this. And I think back now to how many comments I read when this first happened of people who said nothing seemed off and he seemed fine at the show. Obviously that was not the case. Tragedy is a very big word to be applied to one person, but to me this was an absolute tragedy. How sad.
You think he's acting like this because he was depressed? This show is not like any of the others they did immediately before it. Chris is either drunk as hell here, which I doubt or he is drugged. Leaning on the Mike, slurring speech, out of time. Even during bad shows, he never did that like here. Someone in the band should have said something.
I saw Soundgarden live six or seven times. First time in '92 or so, opening for, and completely annihilating, Guns n' Roses. Saw them a few years later at Lollapalooza and it was much like this Detroit show. Chris was drunk, obviously not wanting to be there. Hung up his guitar midway during the show, complaining of technical issues. Saw him again in Sweden during the accoustic tour and it was fire; complete beauty and raw passion. Saw SG again in 2012 and he rocked the house as usual. But if I were to have seen this show I would have realized something was very, very wrong. He wasn't even this bad when he was drunk at Lollapalooza.
I saw him once live and knew some bootlegs. His voice always dissappointed me (Like, he was really NOT good) but on his studiorecordings, he will always be my favorite singer ever. EVER. And I miss the man. Dearly.
@Marvin Harrision Smith , I agree with you on most of your post. Except for the portion where you say he is drunk. There could be many factors as to why he was clearly not in his true form. Which, he wasn't. I have watched this and other videos of his last performance and I can honestly say that something else was bad here. There were things being said right after his death that there was a head wound. So, this morning, I watched this and I jotted down 18 frames of there possibly being truth to those claims. Although I never saw an actual incision or blood, I did see obvious frames of intense hair matting, hair standing straight up in the same area. I cut my head open as a kid, so I know first hand that head wounds make the hair part, matted and the blood acts as a glue(for lack of a better word) as it dries. There were many examples of this, as noted. I only watched this through 43:51. Head wounds (as most people know) make you dizzy, lethargic, tired etc.... Could it perhaps be from this? We will never know. RIP Chris :(
it was barbiturates which accumulate in the body and are notorious for provoking or aggravating depression. when I saw some years earlier in Luxembourg in 2014, there already was a similiar sound: they rarely were tight, and Chris didn‘t really seem to belong to the music at all. so the problem might have been there for quite some time.
Knowing that Chris died this day, it makes this whole live performance kinda haunting and depressing, noone knows exactly what he was thinking right during the show, and the audience sure well didn't know that tomorrow, Chris wouldn't be alive. Rest in Piece Chris Cornell, one of the greatest voices of Rock.
All you have to do is go watch other performances, and you can tell, he was not right here. His voice was always spot on, and beautiful, he is screetchy and unfocused throughout this whole performance. He is just not acting like his usual self. I even feel like when they hone in on the rest of the band, that they KNOW he is off, just watch their faces. 3 yrs later, and Im still not able to process this loss.
@@patriciatodd4516 Truly. There are so many unanswered questions. Too many holes in the suicide story. Black widow knows all. And those “brothers”. had to know something.
God I hate all the conspiracy surrounding his death. “He was acting different, something wasn’t right” you don’t fucking say? He probably knew this would be his last show. He had spent his whole goddamn life talking about his depression-Day I Tried to Live, Outshined, Blow Up The Outside World-but never ended up getting the help he needed. Then he goes and kills himself and no, it can’t be because of his depression, it must have been murder. Be ashamed of yourselves.
My angle on this is, that he wasnt spot on as usual, but much more in tune emotionally than ever, as tho he knew exactly what he was going to do that night and that he wanted his last show to be full of energy, its not as fluent as all of his other performances, most probably cause he was high off of benzos, but it still strikes me deep into my core watching this live performance
I think Chris destroyed his voice during this show. I think what happened did because of that. The amount of straining he did to perform these songs, particularly the old ones, could very well have blown his vocalcords. By all accounts and what his wife said, he was rambling about having done so because and speaking about bad in-ear audio from the gig... I can't imagine the amount of dispaire he could have felt, a famous musician hurting his singing voice again... His last album was very indicative of a changed approach in singing out of necessity. I absolutely love A Higher Truth, but the album is tinged with a sorrow that his worn voice absolutely brought to life... Even years on, I haven't accepted the way you left us. You gave all of your grace in living and spared none upon yourself. Thank you so much for everything you gave.
Well, I'm glad someone in the comments can see/hear the shredded vocal chords. I sang metal before sg was popular and had so many issues with my voice. It was so scary. I couldn't speak during the day mostly but was able to somehow get it out at night. 3 45 min sets were grueling. Can't imagine being as famous as him and struggling to carry on with his tour with damaged chords, again, as you said. And for cc, this, and feeling unloved by the one he loved the most - what happened doesn't seem so hard to believe now...
Beautiful man Beautiful heart Beautiful voice Damn, it still hurts to know we had to let this Angel go. No doubt, he is soaring through heaven and that voice will forever echo throughout our lives. ❤
I have watched numerous concerts online that Soundgarden and Audioslave have been uploaded. There's definitely something different about Chris at this show. Compared to his other concerts his energy level is much lower. I only wish he would have told someone the way and what he was feeling. I don't know but maybe it would have made a difference in how thing's turned out after this concert. Miss you Chris.
BTW several others noticed it and posted about it. Just left one's mind to wonder had there been some sort of altercation with someone. Believe me, I loved Chris been listening to him for 20 years and he was truly s beautiful man with a beautiful soul.
Oh god! Everytime I try to watch this, my stomach turns. That look at 7:05 is haunting. If I had been there, I would have known that something was very wrong. Reminds me of the final scene in the movie, The Rose for f*** sake! Too much money riding on the show going on to stop it and rescue a human life I guess. Such a tremendous loss.
Estuvo un tiempo tranquilo, se reunio de nuevo con SOUNDGARDEN y se volvió LOCO hasta morir... Se fue sin saber, sin ni si quiera imaginarse cuanto lo amaba.....!!!
I woke the same as every other day except a voice was in my head TODAY may 17 2017 only people like us know those voices RIP LEGEND CC I never wanted to watch this i finally did something was definitely clearly wrong with him here so sad but he let the show go on !! Your missed everyday
And here come all the internet doctors trying to tell us what was wrong with him. Doctors didn't evem know. The media portrayed him mumbling words etc. He wasn't mumbling the words the guy was in his fifties still rocking out.. He was a human being. People have problems .
Sucks that i grew up watching you guys on Mtv and listening to your songs on the radio daily and now i will NEVER get to see you live. All my grunge bands i will NEVER SEE LIVE 😢😢
An entire stadium full of people who have no idea how fortunate they are.
Of course, you're right. And to make it even better than you describe....this was at the famed FOX Theatre! It's a beautiful, opulent theatre; as if stuck in another time.

RIP Chris, 7 years ago today
I had no clue it was yesterday. What a coincidence I've been listening to a bunch of Soundgarden songs tonight. RIP Chris
Still hurts just as bad as when I heard the horrible news. I'll never get over it. Voice of my generation and what a fuc#in great voice it was. 💔

Never have I cried for any celebrity, but when I heard of Chris Cornell's passing I played his songs and shed a few years that day. It broke my heart.
He's not a celebrity, he's a legend.

You should have heard him back when he could still sing! This shows how much had lost his abilities. Very hard to watch.

Some of his songs sing to me. And I play them over and over. Sorry just in a babbling mood on here tonight. And so I am still trying to get over his death and when I read the news about Chester Bennington and how close he was to Chris so much so that he was one of Chris' children's godfather . Ever since David Bowie died we have lost too many more in the music industry. Way too much loss. Ive lost a big part of my childhood.
YES YES YES his soul is connected to ours. You could not have explained it better. Now his energy is out there forever in the universe #heliveson
Edward Rossiello i agree about the music stuff. Today's music has limits now. It's like kids teens young adults are limited to only one shitty genre.
Edward Rossiello Edward Rossiello if you still haven’t listened to it, I wouldn’t recommend it, because seeing the shape he is in during this show is almost as heartbreaking as what happened after it was over. And the fact that so many witnessed the condition he was in, yet he ended up in that hotel room alone, absolutely rips my heart out bc it ALMOST makes it easy to understand why the night ended so tragically.
6 years gone by. I listen to him everyday
It's incredible how good all the music is that he left to this world. Will listen to him for the rest of my life. Still feels just wrong that he's gone. I don' think his mission was finished here. RIP legend
This was an awful day. My dog died that morning, I’d raised him since he was born, Later we found out it was an even worse day and that Chris Cornell had died. A memorable awful day.
almost incredible
@@guitarpik6904 I think about your mom
dude wtf, hope you recovered from that pain
It’s sad how this ended. The mindset was finalized here. Depression is debilitating, and powerful. Please reach out to talk to anyone.
I can’t even imagine what the audience felt the day after.Imagine going on about how you saw your favourite band, and then you get hit in the face with what happened to him.Truly heartbreaking
I'm am so lucky to have been able to see them on their last tour.
When I heard Chris had died. I cried and could t comprehend it. He’s always in my soul.
At 19:34 he points at the sky and sings "And I must get back home..." :(
signals all the time man
“And I always get back up”
@@averageaustralian7488 I just took another listen, I think you're right and I heard it wrong.
“I woke the same as any other day; you know I should have stayed in beeeeeeedddd” we sure wish you had Chris
i just discovered audioslave and was listening to the whole album completely in love and shocked by how this album has no skips and how good it sounds. I was shocked to know the lead singer died while reading about the band and although i just knew him, i started crying immediately. This is just too sad.
Check out Temple of the Dog
Really missing Chris today, what an impression he left. I fondly remember discovering Soundgarden in the 90's and I was hooked, although I would never have imagined feeling some type of way practically six years after his passing. RIP Chris Cornell.
A year later. Still in my ears and heart everyday brother
It’s amazing how he still acknowledges the people in the upper seats. Good man right there! Miss this guy every day! 💔
I think he was asking if those people paid.
Funny thing about rock stars: even when they are blatantly depressed, noboby will care enough to offer him some help. They just want the 'show to go on', whatever it may cost. They just want the 'thrill of it' and to listen to them classics one more time.
How many people looked at the man on that stage and thought to themselves: "He's not okay"?
Now, I admit that this was a nice way of saying goodbye, albeit heart-wrenching.
He needed Christ most of all.
Each song looks an eternity
Poor man, he was going through some crazy stuff, the fact he took his life away an hour after that concert is extremely sad. RIP to my favorite singer, never forgotten.
As far as him taking his life away that's questionable
@@AbbyCavapoo24 Yup....Agree!!
The special audience holds a special place in Chris’s spirit. I’m sure he wanted everyone to know that
I can't sit and watch this straight through, yet.
Someday I will, just not today..
Don't it will only make you sick, I have watched it over and over due to the conspiracy theory's but I DO believe for whatever reason his demons got the best of him that night........Very Sad RIP Chris, The demons will chase you no more
Donna Andrade ~~ It's a month later, and I only could watch a little more, of this video. Yes, I was sickened, and I wish I could rewind that night, and warn Chris, like we could this video. I believe it wasn't Chris' demons that got the best of him, that night. I'm just going by the forensics, that came from official documents, like the autopsy, and toxicology reports. Just reading these 2 documents, and not going by all the Conspiracy Theories, you can't help, but to come the realization that Chris, didn't kill himself. Which, makes all this all the more tragic..
I read them too but you can clearly see he was fucked up. My brother-in-law who is a nobody........died of acute alcohol poisoning but that is NOT what his death cert says! I will never watch that again.....I saw Soundgarden in 1994 at the DCU center In Worcester Massachusetts, opening for GNR. They were so good! I will keep my good memories, Chris got sober the same year I did but the demons never leave you alone!! Bless You & RIP Chris & Chester.....Say "Hey" to my brother up there with ya, he'll be smiling fro ear to ear......Take care Donna G from Donna A :)
Donna Andrade I'm so sorry about your brother. I hope you're okay. It's been 9 months, and I finally decided to watch this video until the very end. I'm still so sad, and confused. More than I was May, 18 2017.
Today is my day… and the only thing I could do is crying…. Miss u forever Chris ❤
Rip beautiful man!
Honest to God he was transitioning into quality folk music seamlessly. He was a extremely great lyricist who could of written in every decade. Cornell had a greater ability than most of his pairs especially in his writing.
It's isolating when you are a go above a beyond personality who clearly comes to a crossroad and sees the lack of reciprocation.Suicide has layers it is never one thing but Job always is at the top of its list. Fatigue is another big one. This includes nutrient defiencies, lack of sleep. Then there are issues with facing past trauma and lack of cohesion with the ones you love. What was the bean that spilled the pot that night? Who knows? Probably all of them.
Cornell, Prince, Robin Williams and Anthony Bourdain. They all blew my mind because of how much they could see of the world. I just have to believe they were really tired. Good shepherds who truly needed the rest. God rest their souls.
Robin Williams was suffering from Lewi's Body Dementia, and was feeling like he was losing his mind...
Even in madness he's brilliant 💙. Played the hell outta those strings! 💙✌ ROCK IN PEACE CJC!
He was not in a good way here 😔 Something was very wrong. Rest in peace beautiful Chris 🌺
yeah its pretty obvious here he's just fighting sleeping tablets he took earlier for 'anxiety' ...
Jo Blogd someone drugged him. Then killed him. All is covering up. Many lies. Vicky and company is behind that. Justice for Chris.💔💔
@@camyg275 Go fuck yourself. He unfortunately committed suicide. Saying that he was murdered is disrespectful to him as he was known to have had depression for most of his life. We need to fight depression.
@@camyg275 You got it right. Some people are so stupid. Who the hell would be stupid enough to believe Vicky's changing bullshit stories. These blind sheep don't get it.
You're a legend and legends never die! Praying for your family and bandmates. #RIPChrisCornell 💔🙏🏼
19:48 this was like a last message to fans
That was rough
Lol.
? @@LetDown23
Black hole sun was one of the first rock songs I loved at a teen in the 90s and so I've always loved Chris. It still saddens me to this day that he's not here anymore.
I feel it. His passion was for writing, not performing. There is certainly something to be said about that, and I totally relate. I wish you were still here.
Nah he was an amazing performance Artist.
its now 12-18- 17 , Im finally starting to listen to Chris. It took all this time for me and my wife to listen again. Its early in the morning right now and I'm watching this for the first time. We have seen Chris and Sound Garden about 30 times over the last 30 yrs. Ive seen him in multi states. Even Carnagie Hall in NYC which I dont think he liked too much. He said they put notes on the tables and piano about putting a glass and leaving a ring. He didnt like that. We recently went to his grave in Hollywood, which made us feel better. But this video shows me there is something going on here. He looks so High ! Im watching the way he moves and his face . He looks sloppy but he is pulling it off. He could probably do this in his sleep ! It looks to me he is not in a good way here and I wish SOMEONE did something , if they could . This is so sad .
He wouldn't wanted you to remember him like that it will want you to celebrate the end of his life and that are wet so it's not sad it's actually in a celebration
He went home
how can u say you've seen them 30x yet you claim he is pulling this off? he doesn't sing one note even near correct pitch and his timing is so messed up and lagging for the entire performance. this is painful to witness.
@@davideats9255 exactly David. There is something wrong with Chris here. Depression? Yeah sure but doubt it. He is under the influence of something. Never, ever, ever saw him this bad at a show.
@@davideats9255he hadnt been able to for years. Wasnt just this night. His voice wasnt what it had been.
Only just being able to watch the entire concert, where as before I could only watch a little bit. Miss you Chris 😢😢
I grew up listening to him . Heartbreaking
my love for him only grows, this fucking hurts
It feels so weird watching a guy who died 6 years ago. It’s.. scary.
RIP Chris .. we all miss you ❤
This makes me sad to watch. I saw him 5 times and he was on point. 4 months later, my heart is so sad that he is gone.
30:29 "There's no way he's sober..."
There's no way he's sober first note sung
so you have to be sober to rock n roll? that sounds lame
@@ashwhole666 What are you talking about? You can be anyone you want to rock n roll.
@@rocknrollboise it was to the person who commented above me
He had NO alcohol in his body (syst. ! Look at The autopsy report! 🖤
Lowkey; Thank You ❤
Hard to believe that 7 years ago to this date, 18 May 2017 you passed on. We still miss you Chris.
No, he passed on July 20th, he was born May 18th

Christopher John Cornell (né Boyle; July 20, 1964 - May 18, 2017) was an American musician.
My apologies is was wrong
That was the day we lost a legend and a amazing song Writer
Heart Breaking. I so miss this man. I love Soundgarden
this breaks my heart :(
Thank you for posting this! From a few years after Chris Cornell hit the scene until his death, I had always hoped he wouldn't leave us early. I'm still very sad he did. Its far too common.
Hard heavy no frills music that punches you in the face. So pure and raw. That band has touched my soul. He the man will be missed.
Sound Garden a awesome group and Chris Cornell a awesome singer I remember in 1990, when I was 24.So sad he passed away, May Chris Cornell RIP 💐❤️
Thankyou so much for sharing this with us. It's priceless. Bless you.

Still can't believe he's gone 🍻🍻
"You can see them next time they tour" -mom
I would have been at this show
That totally sucks! I was lucky to see them in Lollapalooza 92. Sorry for your bad luck.
he is definitely on something
It is still painful for me to listen to Chris Cornell, or Prince for that matter, since their deaths. Both still hard to believe. This is the first time I have seen any of this footage and it is profoundly sad.
This is a man who was suffering. You can see it in his eyes, hear it in his voice, and it’s clear in his body language as well.
You can see how terribly he was struggling just to get through this. And I think back now to how many comments I read when this first happened of people who said nothing seemed off and he seemed fine at the show. Obviously that was not the case.
Tragedy is a very big word to be applied to one person, but to me this was an absolute tragedy. How sad.
You think he's acting like this because he was depressed? This show is not like any of the others they did immediately before it. Chris is either drunk as hell here, which I doubt or he is drugged. Leaning on the Mike, slurring speech, out of time. Even during bad shows, he never did that like here. Someone in the band should have said something.
I saw Soundgarden live six or seven times. First time in '92 or so, opening for, and completely annihilating, Guns n' Roses. Saw them a few years later at Lollapalooza and it was much like this Detroit show. Chris was drunk, obviously not wanting to be there. Hung up his guitar midway during the show, complaining of technical issues. Saw him again in Sweden during the accoustic tour and it was fire; complete beauty and raw passion. Saw SG again in 2012 and he rocked the house as usual. But if I were to have seen this show I would have realized something was very, very wrong. He wasn't even this bad when he was drunk at Lollapalooza.
I saw him once live and knew some bootlegs. His voice always dissappointed me (Like, he was really NOT good) but on his studiorecordings, he will always be my favorite singer ever. EVER. And I miss the man. Dearly.
@Marvin Harrision Smith , I agree with you on most of your post. Except for the portion where you say he is drunk. There could be many factors as to why he was clearly not in his true form. Which, he wasn't. I have watched this and other videos of his last performance and I can honestly say that something else was bad here. There were things being said right after his death that there was a head wound. So, this morning, I watched this and I jotted down 18 frames of there possibly being truth to those claims. Although I never saw an actual incision or blood, I did see obvious frames of intense hair matting, hair standing straight up in the same area. I cut my head open as a kid, so I know first hand that head wounds make the hair part, matted and the blood acts as a glue(for lack of a better word) as it dries. There were many examples of this, as noted. I only watched this through 43:51. Head wounds (as most people know) make you dizzy, lethargic, tired etc.... Could it perhaps be from this? We will never know. RIP Chris :(
Wow suprised he blew away axl rose in 92, GNR WAS top of game still then, what did gNR sound like?
He didn't look drunk. And no alcohol was found in the toxicology report.
it was barbiturates which accumulate in the body and are notorious for provoking or aggravating depression.
when I saw some years earlier in Luxembourg in 2014, there already was a similiar sound: they rarely were tight, and Chris didn‘t really seem to belong to the music at all. so the problem might have been there for quite some time.
I listen to him everyday
Knowing that Chris died this day, it makes this whole live performance kinda haunting and depressing, noone knows exactly what he was thinking right during the show, and the audience sure well didn't know that tomorrow, Chris wouldn't be alive.
Rest in Piece Chris Cornell, one of the greatest voices of Rock.
Assurdamente sto scoprendo qiesto video soltanto adesso... adoro loro da quando avevo 16 anni, grazie per questo regalo❤Chris unico...
As we creep closer to the anniversary date this gets tougher. I am glad my kids (9 and 12 at the time) got to experience his brilliance at this show.
All you have to do is go watch other performances, and you can tell, he was not right here. His voice was always spot on, and beautiful, he is screetchy and unfocused throughout this whole performance. He is just not acting like his usual self. I even feel like when they hone in on the rest of the band, that they KNOW he is off, just watch their faces. 3 yrs later, and Im still not able to process this loss.
Maybe they knew what was going to happen to Chris after the show but we're told if they don't act "normal" they too would be "dealt with".
@@patriciatodd4516 Truly. There are so many unanswered questions. Too many holes in the suicide story. Black widow knows all. And those “brothers”. had to know something.
God I hate all the conspiracy surrounding his death. “He was acting different, something wasn’t right” you don’t fucking say? He probably knew this would be his last show. He had spent his whole goddamn life talking about his depression-Day I Tried to Live, Outshined, Blow Up The Outside World-but never ended up getting the help he needed. Then he goes and kills himself and no, it can’t be because of his depression, it must have been murder.
Be ashamed of yourselves.
My angle on this is, that he wasnt spot on as usual, but much more in tune emotionally than ever, as tho he knew exactly what he was going to do that night and that he wanted his last show to be full of energy, its not as fluent as all of his other performances, most probably cause he was high off of benzos, but it still strikes me deep into my core watching this live performance
what do you mean by brothers ? @@christinecanty5409
I think Chris destroyed his voice during this show. I think what happened did because of that. The amount of straining he did to perform these songs, particularly the old ones, could very well have blown his vocalcords. By all accounts and what his wife said, he was rambling about having done so because and speaking about bad in-ear audio from the gig... I can't imagine the amount of dispaire he could have felt, a famous musician hurting his singing voice again...
His last album was very indicative of a changed approach in singing out of necessity. I absolutely love A Higher Truth, but the album is tinged with a sorrow that his worn voice absolutely brought to life...
Even years on, I haven't accepted the way you left us. You gave all of your grace in living and spared none upon yourself. Thank you so much for everything you gave.
He stopped warming up before shows. But his voice was always there. Even in 2017.
Well, I'm glad someone in the comments can see/hear the shredded vocal chords. I sang metal before sg was popular and had so many issues with my voice. It was so scary. I couldn't speak during the day mostly but was able to somehow get it out at night. 3 45 min sets were grueling. Can't imagine being as famous as him and struggling to carry on with his tour with damaged chords, again, as you said.
And for cc, this, and feeling unloved by the one he loved the most - what happened doesn't seem so hard to believe now...
Thanks for sharing -

Damn, it still hurts to know we had to let this Angel go. No doubt, he is soaring through heaven and that voice will forever echo throughout our lives. ❤

How could you possibly know that? Are you clairvoyant?

Ass
Every One There Was Oblivious To What Was Going To Happen That Night, The Only One That Knew What Was Going To Happen Was Chris, RIP
19:34
He made it a point to say that.
I believe that too
I have watched numerous concerts online that Soundgarden and Audioslave have been uploaded. There's definitely something different about Chris at this show. Compared to his other concerts his energy level is much lower. I only wish he would have told someone the way and what he was feeling. I don't know but maybe it would have made a difference in how thing's turned out after this concert. Miss you Chris.
Just imagine being at this concert and then shortly later hearing that he passed away from Suicide ☹️
I been listening for 25 years and Chris should not have been on stage doesnt even sound like him
BTW several others noticed it and posted about it. Just left one's mind to wonder had there been some sort of altercation with someone. Believe me, I loved Chris been listening to him for 20 years and he was truly s beautiful man with a beautiful soul.
Why didnt his band members question his head trauma were they asked at all about it?
There has to be a giant rug somewhere in Detroit where all of our answers were brushed under. These people better get what they deserve!
Viking Wolf loves Soundgarden, Chris R.I.P. and we will all meet again.
13:48 - Save Me :( No one was listening.
that is terrifying as hell….
thank you for this
Oh god! Everytime I try to watch this, my stomach turns. That look at 7:05 is haunting. If I had been there, I would have known that something was very wrong. Reminds me of the final scene in the movie, The Rose for f*** sake! Too much money riding on the show going on to stop it and rescue a human life I guess. Such a tremendous loss.
Haunting isn't the word... that poor man... something was very wrong. He knew something was wrong too. He is checked out
RIP CC 🤘💗🇦🇺🙏🏼
Estuvo un tiempo tranquilo, se reunio de nuevo con SOUNDGARDEN y se volvió LOCO hasta morir... Se fue sin saber, sin ni si quiera imaginarse cuanto lo amaba.....!!!
Damn.. He was a very big human being.. RIP My man.
I hope you are in peace, sweet Angel! Sorely missed. Who could ever imagine such tragedy
I woke the same as every other day except a voice was in my head TODAY may 17 2017 only people like us know those voices RIP LEGEND CC
I never wanted to watch this i finally did something was definitely clearly wrong with him here so sad but he let the show go on !! Your missed everyday
Yeah, I've seen Chris perform 4-5 times over 20 years. He's very amiss here in his performance.
He seemed so out of it in this performance. Something definitely was missing. RIP Chris!
And here come all the internet doctors trying to tell us what was wrong with him. Doctors didn't evem know. The media portrayed him mumbling words etc. He wasn't mumbling the words the guy was in his fifties still rocking out.. He was a human being. People have problems .
his wife said he was mumbling words. you know better than his family?
