Thanks to some swift-moving folks, I ended up with a couple of tickets and media passes to shoot a sold-out Chris Cornell show at the Fillmore in San Francisco on Tuesday night (May 3rd).
With Soundgarden announcing their first tour in 13 years yesterday, it was no wonder the Fillmore was packed to the brim to see Mr. Cornell strum through his vast library of music-altering songs. I was surprised... a fair amount of the selections were from his solo records, but he threw in quite a handful of Soundgarden tunes, topped off with a couple from Audioslave and even the Beatles and Michael Jackson.
All in all, my teenage self was completely satisfied. But I'm dying for the full band to make it through.
The night was also a lot of fun for me socially, as I got to shoot alongside my good friends Jen & Mike Cash of
Calibree Photography, with my buddy JC from
theFIVE10.com on my left gathering material for a show review, and my pals
Jeff Campbell and Andy Weller (of the San Francisco band
Pine and Battery) performing an acoustic set upstairs in the Poster Room in between acts.
Enjoy a couple of shots from Tuesday night!
