If reunited ’90s grunge merchants Soundgarden were the only reason you were considering going to the Walmart on the Lake that is Lollapalooza, you’re in luck: The band has announced that it will play the Vic Theatre the night before the festival starts, on Thursday, Aug. 5.

The interesting twist here: The Vic is owned by Chicago-based Jam Productions, which has been battling Lollapalooza promoters C3 Presents since the massive festival started decimating the local company’s summer concert business. And Jam–along with the local offices of the giant national concert monopoly Ticketmaster/Live Nation–appears to have been one of the local entities whose complaints about Lollapalooza’s nine-month, 300-mile radius clauses triggered the ongoing investigation by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Is C3 trying to buy off Jam with this superstar-level sanctioned pre-show? (C3 was booking these kinds of shows into the similarly sized Congress Theatre in the past.) Ah, the serpentine ways of Chicago politics!

In any event, at the moment, tickets apparently will only be available through the band’s fan club.

Yikes,
Awesome setlist, but Chris sounds pretty bad in these 3 videos.
Sad.

Are there any songs from the Chris Cornell/Timbaland album??

What a joke. This jagoff wouldn't be doing any of this if his solo projects amounted to anything listenable. His solo work and audioslave was a dis-service to any fan of his that heard it.

Ring the register and go back the fuck away. Is Matt Cameron even flying in for this?

Hi Don's Piracy.

Cornell's first solo album wasn't great, but had a couple moments.
He did a song for a soundtrack called "Sunshower" - don't remember the movie, but the song was quite good.
And I must be in the minority when I say I really can't RATM, but liked a bunch of Audioslave songs.

:shock:

Audioslave was good stuff.

hello friend.

I'm just saying if Cornell's post-SG career was a success, he wouldn't be anywhere near this reunion and would roll his eyes at reporters that dared to ask our artist/genius aboot a SG revival.

Just didn't appreciate mr. pipes becoming, not god size, but a ballad singer. You can call it artistic, but I'll keep my random rambling musician list to just Tom Waite.

Hi, my name is Spanky, and I support donspiracy in his crusade.

I also feel that Soundgarden, at their peak, was very...............average at best.

Don't get me wrong. Badmotorfinger is in my cars CD player, today! That album debuted 20 years ago... Chris Cornell HAD a great voice, that is not is dispute. But what is the point of doing a one-off show? Can they tour on this? I thought Kim turned all his guitars into bongs and double-bubblers anyway.
