Cornell is great with Soundgarden, Audioslave, by himself, with a live full band or acoustic. Bottom line it is him that makes it all and he is one of the best I've ever seen live. Guys voice is incredible and never seems to give. Don't even remember him drinking much water, which is even more incredible. He seems to always play 2-3hrs and a perfect mix of classic and new songs. Also, his simple, short but sweet commentary is always interesting and welcome. Guys the best!

Chris Cornell, with Soundgarden, reigns supreme

As a lifelong Soundgarden fan and a career musician myself it was a pretty special opportunity to get into such an intimate venue to see not only Chris Cornell but also a surprise performance by a group of musicians that helped shape the landscape of modern rock music. When this show was announced I was determined to get in and see Chris Cornell again. Last November, I was in attendance for his performance at Carnegie Hall, and in spite of my eager anticipation of it I was still surprised by the extent to which I was drawn to the side of himself that he displayed in that environment. Given that I perform 300 nights a year myself as either a soloist or an acoustic duo, the format really appealed to me and learning that Chris Cornell, he who embodies rock, was as compelling a performer stripped down as he would be with his army behind him was quite a nice surprise.

Fast forward almost exactly one year and not only were we treated to another flawless acoustic performance, including covers by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen (for the Hurricane Sandy victims), but four or five songs into the set he invited "some friends of his" to the stage. . . these friends being, of course, Ben Shepherd, Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron, who came out to play Fell On Black Days, Outshined, Black Hole Sun and a couple of tracks off their new record King Animal.

They then left Chris Cornell on stage again to play for almost another two hours - cracking jokes and keeping the energy high for the entirety of his set.

Suffice it to say that it was an unforgettable experience. The Bowery Ballroom is an amazing place to see a show and if you get an opportunity to see one of your biggest influences in a room that accommodates 500 of your closest friends, you should take it and soak in every moment.

Cornell is the man, plain and simple. He comes straight from doing a 1 hour gig on Letterman (which was amazing")with Soundgarden, only to do an almost 3 hour set of acoustic songs! The guy did it all- Springsteen, Audioslave, solo a stuff, and a impromptu Soundgarden set with the boys! All of this on 3 days notice to benefit the Hurricane Sandy relief effort! Chris Cornell rocks!

The venue was amazing. I think the capacity was 550 people. Been Soundgarden/Chris Cornell fan since the beginning. Long wait for Chris to come on because they were soundchecking so many instruments than when we saw Matt and Kim peak out from the side of the stage we knew we were in for a once in a lifetime show. Chris played a few songs that brought out the rest of the band and introduced them as his special guests and said maybe we should form a band.

It was really cool to see Cornell playing some of his songs acoustically. Played several Soundgarden ones. Did some interesting sounds as well towards the end. It was just awesome to be so close (small theater) and hear him play and sing.

Chris Cornell carries an entire show by himself. I think that says a lot right there. The Palace of Fine Arts was the perfect intimate venue for this show, and Chris gave us his all with a 2.5hr set. One-man and acoustic versions of classics, some awesome, creative covers (Billie Jean! Imagine!), and a lot of power-ballad Cornell awesomeness. This is a guy with a voice like no other and a surprisingly long career with a lot of great material. He seemed to be having fun at the show, taking requests from the audience (though sadly he didn't play mine, "All Night Thing"), and bantering a bit. Definitely a great experience.

Unfortunately this series of shows is now over, but hopefully we'll all get a chance to see Chris in this kind of setting again. He pulled off a great one-man show. In the meantime I'm now more curious to see him with one of the bands he's worked with over the years...

Outside of Jeff Buckley, there hasn't been a better singer than Cornell & the last show was proof of this fact. He just keeps getting better, can't wait till he comes back with Soundgarden.

Unbelievable performance from start to finish. Phenomenal set list. One of the best singers that I have ever seen live, period. Sounds really incredible stripped down with just the acoustic guitar. 3rd Cornell show for me in 5 years and one of my favorite shows of my entire life!

As always Chris Cornell did not disappoint. Going two and a half hours non stop. His voice is still amazing. He was able to hit all the high notes.

Just saw Chris Cornell in a live acoustic show at the old Orpheum Theater in the downtown LA... he did solo versions of his own stuff, Audioslave, Soundgarden, and even Temple of the Dog... amazing voice still, after over 20 years of doing this... plus covered Led Zeppelin (Thank You), the Beatles (A Day in the Life - the whole thing just with an unplugged guitar and his voice), and John Lennon (Imagine)... even though he had a "lingering" cold that he caught from his kids, he still brought it... if he's not the best voice in rock, who is?

If you can still catch him when he goes out again next year, go, don't miss it!! He played tons of stuff from Temple of the Dog, Sound Garden, Audio Slave, Solo Stuff, and even some from the Beatles, Led Zepplin and Michael Jackson!!
