    The Bogota show was planned to be the place for the official video of this tour to be shot, but as Floor was sick as Fenris (her dog) and probably performing on drugs, the show in Buenos Aires became the lucky one. The Elvenjig version from BA is one of my favourites, just check it out for yourselves at home 🙂, but taken Floor's condition in consideration Bogota was also good.

    Calling come in silence
    Accompanied only by the full moon
    Howling of a night wolf
    And the path under my bare feet
    The elvenpath" . I walked home through the woods after work, it was already dark. And suddenly a full moon appeared behind the clouds, and then, this verse Hit me (I think it was also Floor's voice). It was awesome..Thank you guys for that memory 😌

    Please, please, please do yourself a favour and truly go down the Chris Cornell rabbit hole.
    Devote yourself to his varied and entire legacy, with broad choice of much loved performances, guided by many of the fan requests of some real classics and performances that resonate sooo deeply with us.
    Maybe a Master Class style segment or playlist of your analysis of various Artists of the appeal and calibre of him is something you might consider? Starting with Chris, please.
    We love your reactions and how much knowledge you share and teach us. So well presented and your love of music is evident and appreciated.
    He will blow your mind if you truly dig into his entire career and broad catalogue and body of work. To begin you must start late 80s early 90's, cusp of what became grunge, the Seattle scene, Soundgarden, then work your way forward as he also fronted Audioslave, his collaboration and album with Temple of the dog, his vast solo works, his outstanding covers and homage to many of his own hero's and peers, there's way too much to get into here but this man is a musical legend in the industry, beloved by fans and deeply respected by all artists, and we need more!
    He was so blessed with those pipes, skill, his songwriting that just taps into some very deep emotional connections as he honed his craft and grew so much artistically, yet like so many his musical genius came from darkness and his work speaks to so many because the battle is so universal and real for so many.
    So many videos to enjoy and many live and studio performances too.
    To get a feel for his early, raw, emerging vocal abilities, perhaps start with ;
    Soundgarden: Beyond the Wheel - song 8 of 8 (April 16, 1990 at Philipshalle. DĂŒsseldorf, Germany)
    czcams.com/video/gh20q3Dx8RI/video.html
    Everything he left us with is incredible, but a true favourite of mine is;
    Chris Cornell - When I'm Down - Troubadour, January 29 2010
    czcams.com/video/2ZrvbZ7_CSk/video.html
    This version is simply beautiful and you can tell how much he enjoyed this and brought it to the place he always wanted it to be.
    You will enjoy so much and his devoted followers will thank you for it. (and me for the recommendation lol).
    He was a pioneer, GOAT, a bloody legend.
    RIP Chris, never forgotten.

    To me, this is one of the rare Floor renditions that have me go “meh”. I much prefer Tarja’s full on operatic style for this track.
    Also, it’s not just about Lord of the Rings. There are references to other tales like Willow and Beauty and the Beast, and to me it’s more about the fantasy worlds and how they can transport you away, shelter you as it were from your own, unfair world. It’s about longing.
