Being 2nd in line, they should have at least been LISTED! How cheap. ------------------------------ From: cgoodman@maine.com (Carole Goodman) Subject: None that I can think of I was just thinking when I was in gay Paree (sorry no long marks) I went into a record store and wondered around for awhile I saw a shitload of bush and nirvana but no SG. Just thought I'd share. And all you concerned people out there people out they concerned about Chris' drinking. Have you heard the little tidbit out him sayin "Tonight I'm gonna' be puking sick...1/2 a gallon od JDs out your nose sick" or something along the lines of that. Half a gallon of Jack Daniels can definately make someone sick. But I know people who drink that tenfold and are unfortunately alive and kicking.

Discounting Alice In Chains as too popular to open for Soundgarden (also too reluctant to tour, as evidenced by Layne's hesitation to do so (btw, anyone check out the unplugged CD on sale yesterday? Only 14.99 at Block buster video.(hooray))), I thought the Foo Fighters or The Presidents of The USA would be good opening bands. The boys in SG probably know Dave Grohl, if not the rest of the Foo Fighters. I also think they would get along with the guys in POTUSA. And Kim played guitar on "Naked and Famous" for the Presidents. I would be extremely happy to see both those bands in addition to Soundgarden. Then again, those bands might attract more frat-boy moshers. My friend suggested Hootie and The Blowfish as openers. That would probably produce less of an undesireable violent asshole factor at the show. Hell, maybe I could be the only one who goes. And the guys would have me hang out with them for being so dedicated. And then they'd ask me to hang out for the rest of the tour. And then they'd ask me to stop smoking crack. -- Ben "Ben, only e-mail when you're sober." -- little conscience angel on my left shoulder Ben Timberlake I'm getting off Northwestern University this Merry-Go-Round!

Greg ------------------------------ From: targaz@primenet.com Subject: John Lydon aka "Johnny Rotten" Hey, I just found this quote by the rotten one while surfing: Rotten vs. Grunge - Punk and grunge don't mix, says Johnny Rotten. The front man of the reunited Sex Pistols doesn't go for the Seattle sound. ''When I see some dirty old geek in a bloody plaid shirt and torn jeans, I get depressed,'' he told USA Today. ``I don't want to look like a car mechanic.'' Rotten uses the words ``sad and worn out'' to describe the way the members of bands like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam look. ``If that's an image, grow up!'' he says. ``Where's your self-respect? Where's your love of life?'' The Pistols' U.S. tour begins tonight in Denver.=20 Reuters, Wednesday July 31 5:05 AM EDT=20 Copyright =A9 1996 Reuters Limited Definitely the words of a has-been pseudostar trying to draw some focus to himself. I speak as a person who loved (loves) the pistols and has butt-loads of their vinyl, but doesn't share Mr. Rotten's distorted perspective. What a hypocrite to dis anyone WRT self respect. Here's a guy who's dyed his hair more shades than Dennis Rodman, had his picture taken with a straw up his nose, and eschews relationships because "sex is boring". I've seen him in torn jeans and no shirt, his skinny little chest spattered with Sid Viscious' blood, jerking and leaping around on stage like a voodoo priest on amphetamines and acid. Now there's someone to respect. I used to have a certain amount of respect for JR, PIL was a band with some good material. However, compared to Soundgarden, both PIL and the Pistols fade into a blur of low talent obscurity in my mind. I've been influenced much more by the likes of SG and PJ. In fact, I couldn't tell you the last time I got out a Pistols/PIL album/cd and even LOOKED at it, let alone listen to it. SG on the other hand, at this moment, even as I write, is in the tape deck of the Scirocco, in the cd player of the big stereo in the LR and even in the CDROM of the PC I'm using. Rotten's day is over. time for new heroes. Opinions, comments?

Hmmmm...Last night I tuned into the lolla thing on ATN and listened to most of Devo..Soundgarden was supposed to come in around 8..so it was 7:30 or so and I had to make a phone call so I got disconnected. I got on back around 8:05 and went to the site and did the Real Audio thing and....nothing played. Maybe the Reason Soundgarden wasnt listed in the e-mail some of us received from iMusic was because they werent gonna broadcast the soundgarden set. Did anybody else notice this? And yes my speakers were hooked up and yes my Real Audio works because I tried it out with imusic radio when SG's lolla performance didnt work. The other day I went to this site called similarities engine, which is a site where you give them the name of your fave band and it gives you names of bands you might like. When I typed in SG the no 1 band i probably would like was AIC, which is my 2nd fave band. When I typed AIC i got SG as the no 1 band id probably like.

For one reason, it's hard for a band to do. Especially a band that really relies on the energy of it's electric sound. I think that most bands are hesitant to play acoustically because it requires more skill and concentration. I think that SG is one of the most versatile bands out there and that an acoustic endeavor would add another realm to their versatility. I don't even care about an MTV unplugged... screw MTV... I think it would be cool for SG to maybe release a side album with an acoustic feel. For these reason's, I don't really think it's silly.

How can I refuse? " Quote-Chris. Sorry, what am I saying, we all know that you already have the man tied up in your bedroom with electrodes attached to various parts of him to make him bend to your every whim. They are pretty much the only personal messages apart from a quick thanks to Glen for helping me along with a couple of songs and stuff, I can now "Room a thousand years wide" with the best of them (apart from Kim of course). What am I doing? I hear you cry. Well in fact I should probably not have bothered writing such a long message cos I'm more than likely gonna be back sometime later in the year, I start a course (in Liverpool, England) in computing, but untill then at least this is goodbye.

Smith" Subject: my Unplugged songlist Hello After seeing a few people write a playlist for an unplugged performance, I might as well add my 2 cents. (Not in this order, I just thought of the songs in this order) 1. Half - Has a whole bunch of acoustic guitars in it anyway 2. Mind Riot- Sounds really good live 3. Like Suicide- Not the full set one, the one where it is just him on the 12 string 4. Gun- a cool song that sounds cool 5. Head Down- my fav song, already has accoustic guitars in it too. 6. Dusty- IMHO, the best song on DOTU 7. Ty Cobb- the only reason why this would not get played is all off the fucks in it. We have to remember that MTV is family programing. The same family programming that has Jenny McArthy running around in a bikini. I ain't complaining but anyway... 8. Somewhere- I think that this song would sound really good on acoustic. I played a few chords of it on an acoustic and it sounded fine. 9. Holy Water- A good song, i just threw it in there because it might sound good on an acoustic guitar. 10. BiMH- great song, it sounded better on SNL than the album. 11. BUTOW- I love this song, It also has acoustic guitars in it. 12. FoBD- Why not?? 13. Rhinosaur- 14. TDITTL- sounds really good on acoustic. and a shocker 15. Hunger Strike- end with the guys from TOTD coming out. Just a thought Tell me what you think.

I am looking for one of the vinyl "pretty noose" singles. I know that a majority of people on the list are going to keep such an item, however if someone would be so kind as to e-mail me if they have any information on finding this little jewel it would be appreciated for thousands of lives! I like the Screaming Trees as an opening act idea as well as the Reverend Horton Heat. I don't believe RHH will happen since they opened for SG on the back leg of the Superunknown tour. (The New Orleans show was absolutely astounding) I would hope that the Trees would be very receptive to the idea. On a side note; Mark Lannegan must have some New Orleans influence in his tormented blues-like voice. That type of soul could only come from the city that sin built. If not the Trees or RHH, I would love to see the Melvins, L7, Mudhoney(that is if they are still together or alive), or Social Distortion with SG. SG unplugged; not going to happen, so why bother with the set lists? One more passing comment: I've never been the type of SG fan to be into hootchie girls, but the examples of this rare human form found on this list are quite fascinating! They are brash and quick-witted and have an unabashed self-confidence about themselves. My deepest gratitudes to the hootchies whose opinions are enlightening to say the least! Thanks for putting up with my crap.

After waiting about 45 minutes in front of an obnoxious drunk in a Dead Kennedy's T-Shirt we got in. I was shocked at how it was setup. I had never been to a Gorge show and the only time I had been there (no concert) was before they remodeled. It was amazing how they had it set up. There was a really really tall hill where people were spread out on blankets; at the bottom of the hill there was a walkway and then it went down a few more layers until you got to the floor. We put our blanket right above the walkway which couldn't have been a better spot. When nothing was going on we (and the people next to us) had fun spraying the people walking by with our spray bottles. If you walked in front of us you probably got sprayed. =>Intresting sidenote: The guys next to us wrote on their cooler type thing "SHOW YOUR TITS" but it never worked :( <= Anyway, I thought Psycotica kinda sucked. (Why did they put them on the main stage and not the Melvins???) Then I went down to the pit for Screaming Trees. I know you've heard it before but they ROCKED!!! Their show was really awesome. And the mosh pit wasn't bad at all! People who wanted to mosh got right up front and those who didn't (me) stayed a few rows back. You could see the band perfectly and it wasn't pushy at all. The Shaolin Monks were pretty stupid except for this one guy who spun a chainlike weapon under and over him while bouncing on his back. That and I saw Kim walk behind during their show. The atmosphere was really cool. Since I didn't care about Rancid, I went and won an airwalk shirt playing twister at the Airwalk Tent-1/2 Pipe. I caught the first half of the Melvins show and then made it back in time to see most of the Ramones (Hard Decision). Devo was really cool. I made it down at the end of their set for a good place for SOUNDGARDEN. FINALLY SOUNDGARDEN STUFF! There is a Large T in the middle of the floor and I was right behind that. After a long 30 minutes of setting up we finally saw Matt and Kim walk behind the setup. And then Ben peaked out of the corner. Then finally Chris came out and they all walked out. Set List: Spoonman Searching Let Me Drown Waiting For the Sun -- I feel Like an idiot, but where's this from? Pretty Noose My Wave -- Or My Way as the Seattle PI reporter called it. Ty Cobb Fell On Black Days Rusty Cage BHS -- Smoke break for at least Kim, I saw him smoking at the stage corner. Outshined Slaves & Bulldozers Jesus Chris Pose I couldn't believe it was over. I thought they were just getting started when they played my co-fave JCP, and then they started braking all their stuff and I knew it was over. IT WAS SO AMAZING TO SEE SOUNDGARDEN!!!!! It still hasn't sunk in that it was real -- although the ringing in my ears tells the tale. Since I know the girls want to know. Chris-Open Black Shirt which came off during My Wave. Black jeans. Kim-Black T. Blue jeans. Ben-White T. Leather Pants. Matt-White T It was great duing Rusty Cage & BHS because the sun was setting and there were a birds flying in the background. During one of the first few songs Ben gave the Nazi Salute (Sieg Heil) and Crowsteped towards the crowd. I took a bunch of Pix with my disposable cam, but ran out right when Kim put the Beer bottle in his mouth and walked off stage. Quotes: "This is the first show I've played in a while with my own car keys in my pocket. It's really great to be home." -CC "This is a special show, do you know why?" (WHY?) "Because the Ramones and Devo are on the same stage! That and we finally have a crowd with brains! You guys get it. You blow Phoenix away. Phoenix tried to argue with me?!?!? With ME?!?!?!?! But you can sing with me..." (into BHS). The crowd was so great. I kept my water, camera, and sunglasses the whole time, easily. I can tell Chris liked it to. It was great!! Sorry for such a long post. ---Ryland Aldrich aldrich@nwlink.com ------------------------------ From: gdflower@orion.oac.uci.edu Subject: TX Lolla Hello people, I know this is kinda late, but I wanted to post it anyway. All in all I had a great time at the show. Of course, the highlight was SG and everything else was okay. If you get a chance to see the Melvins, just do it. If you've seen one Ramones set, you've seen them all, but the Melvins will give you some exciting variation. Let me saw that Metallica broke my heart into a thousand little pieces and then trampled on them. And they did this knownly. They played songs, too many (if you ask me), from Load (of Shit). And maybe just one from And Justice for All. One was accompanied by a pryoshow and firworks. The rest of the show was a complete catering to the younger 'alternative, mainstream' crowd. James kept saying fuck this and fuck that and motherfucker this and motherfucker that. He was behaving completely juvenille. I thought he would grab his crotch at some point. The kicker was when he said to the crowd, " I guess you want to hear some of our old shit" and the crowd, suprisingly, cheered affirmative. Lars (drums) started playing Blacken and then stopped and James laughed into the mic, and they proceeded to play more shit from Load. I really almost cried. They guy I was with was almost in shock. He kept saying, "No, they'll more of their challenging song, but they never did." So I did something I've never done before, no matter what the crowd is like, I left that concert early. More on SG later Gail ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: Lolla@Gorge Review On Wed, 31 Jul 1996, Aldrich wrote: > The crowd was so great.

(long) Now where was I? Oh yeh, SG's performance at TX Lolla. The band seemed to be in good spirits. The set didn't seem that long to me but then again, I spent most of my time trying not to suffocate. You see, before they got on stage I was in the center and far back. Yet, when the great water bottle-pizza cardboard fight broke out, I wanted to get closer and away from the fools participating. So I headed closer to the stage and over to the left (Kim's side). I still wasn't that close when they got up on stage, but then my mind just snapped, and I had to keeping going until I couldn't go any further. We ended up in the front. When I say front I'm talking '1-2 people away from the barrier" front. I didn't want to go further because I was afraid of getting smashed, as I saw others becoming. I have to say I was somewhat impressed with the SG fans at least in my section. They sang along with the songs, they danced, and really looked out for each other. How much of this had to do with fact that there were two females there, I don't know. Like Shroom, I also made eye contact with not only Chris, but Kim. This is not so unbelievable when you consider that I was the only black person in that area. My companion said Chris looked as though he saying to himself, "what the hell is she doing down there?" Kim just glanced over every once in a while. I tried not to stare back to longingly. I got so overwhelmed by the whole thing and felt so good about the crowd around me that when they played Rusty Cage I had to get into the mosh pit that had formed next to us. This not only surprised my companion, but everyone in and around the pit. I think everyone was too surprise to approach me at first, then this big asshole tried to run me down with his shoulder. Thank goodness I didn't fall. After picking up my broken shades I noticed that 4-5 guys were giving the asshole some of his own medicine. As I started to leave to pit I realized that 2 smaller women were making their way into the pit so I stayed and experienced the wonders of the mosh pit. It was my first time in one, and I really don't think I'll attend another one. I heard Chris say "This next song is dedicated to all the red haired devils". I loved him singing BHS, just him and his guitar. His voice was clear and strong. Not too much energy spent but did do a little dancing on Outshined. At the end of JCP, he held he guitar away from him and kicked it once and hit it several times. It was nice to see him not so composed and serious. I saw Ben spitting at the crowd over on his end of the stage, but when he came over to our end, he just gave us the finger. I couldn't tell you what order the songs where played in, but I was disappointed they didn't play anything from LTL. They did however play a Doors tune, the name of which I don't know. All in all they gave a great performance and people had a good time. At the end, Chris thanks Ferris for it's 'Southern Hospitality' and said they looked forward to coming back to Tx soon. I didn't think he was being sarcastic when he said that, but then again I was in La La land and probably didn't catch it. It was my first time seeing them live and certainly not my last. Next time I'll refrain from being so close to the stage, I think I can concentrate on the music better, from a distance. love, Gail ------------------------------ From: Bruce or Mike Trumpis Subject: Trading Soundgarden stuff Anybody interested????

Jamie (I have friends who like nothing better than to break things..) ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: fuckinassholepalooza part 1 (sg content) sign I ended up bringing to the show: "FREE KIM THAYIL somms@mit.edu" (in large black letters on yellow posterboard) sign I should have written on the other side: "TEMPLE OF THE DOG (we saw you, Eddie)" Lollapalooza at the Gorge, 7/30/96 PART I: SG CONTENT 5 minutes to 8pm, and the exodus of band guests begins their way across the stage, led by Joey Ramone in a BMF t-shirt. Majorly cool. Karen Cornell and Peter Cornell appeared to be the last ones out. I think I saw Mr. Cornell Sr. but I'm not sure. The sun was just beginning its descent and luckily moved BEHIND the stage and out of our eyes. Chris and I were behind the second crowd barrier -- the hollow-t set up to divide the pit, we were not on the pit side. Directly in front of Kim. They started playing this dramatic-type music, it abruptly cut off. I could see Chris and Kim already on stage left. C'mon already!! They came out and went into "Spoonman" which I didn't expect and the pit just erupted like a fuckin' volcano. I have NEVER seen so many people bail out of a pit injured and frightened in my life. There were so many people in the security section of the "T" that it was tough to see. They couldn't move out because the pit went back and spilled over into the sides. People were just too scared to leave. It's easy to say that they didn't belong t here, but it was so benign all day, even during Rancid and the Ramones, that we were almost fooled ourselves into going down there. More later. I waited until after "Searching" to hold up the sign. Chris saw it first, looked at it, looked at us, and rewarded us with a Chris Is Amused Smirk (tm]. We were psyched!!! And that was great... but I wanted Kim to see it. So I put it down... keep in mind I was trying to 1) see, 2) take pix, 3) write setlist/take notes, 4) sing etc all at the same time. People are fleeing the pit like lemmings. Security is doing their best to move them out, and there are people who were legitimately scared, but there were also bozos who thought they could just stand in front of me and hang out for the rest of the show. *bzzzt* wrong . [assembled sommsters: "GET ON WITH IT!!!!!"] So I hold up the sign again, people behind me be dammed. And I see Matt looking at it, reading it nodding, and then he gets to the "somms@mit.edu" line, cracks up, makes eye contact with me and gives me a thumbs up! At the same time, Chris (Mansfield, my companion) at the same time was looking at Kim and said that Kim saw it, stopped playing and pointed at it, laughing really really hard. I'm still kicking myself for missing that but I did get the thumbs up as a SOMMS member from Matt and that was all I cared about. I folded the sign up and satisfied myself with activities 1-4 listed above. Chris was psyched. Kim was really into it. Ben was just soooOOooooooooo happy, he must have had cousins or something, little kids, because he kept comign over to Kim's side of the stage (and Kim would just head over to Ben's side of the stage), crouching down really low and making faces at the wings. "Let Me Drown", and Chris fails Vikki's Voice Test (tm]. But it didn't matter. They were LOUD, they were ecstatic, they were loose, and the enthusiasm generated more than made up for what notes he couldn't hold. Zillions of people sang along to "Waiting For The Sun". Afterwards, Chris mentions about this being the first show he played with his car keys in his pocket. Next was "Ty Cobb", and I didn't even make a move to get my notepad out of my pocket, hanging on for dear life. I think the showbox version was better. Not that the crowd needed to be incited to violence any more than it already was. They are even pushing BEHIND us, and some stupid fucking woo girl decided to crowd surf and land on my fucking head (crowd surf into the security pit from one row behind it. really smart, and she's lucky i didn't pull the hair out of her head.). FOBD slowed things down quite a lot... and Chris ended with this lovely little acapella scream...*sigh* We were then more or less prepared us for a really extended and amazing "Rusty Cage"... Kim getting REALLY REALLY into it, oh man, wow, a guy behind me yelling, "KIM! go KIM!" I glance over to the left and see this amazing sunset... over to the right and see this huge flock of birds flying in front of these very pink clouds... three seconds later they're flying behind the stage. Totally amazing moment... almost as amazing as Chris making them open the behind-stage scrim a few minutes later and point at the sunset. (Venue note: it's an ampitheatre with the stage on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, facing west. Sunsets are generally amazing there...) (Comment on the audience: What was interesting about the headbangers behind me is that once they went into 'Searching' and they saw me singing along and knew I was really into the band, they were very respectful of my space and tried to keep people from crashing into me. Otherwise, though, I have to say that the crowd was very insular, not much chatting between fans, I kept accosting anyone on the left side in a SG shirt and asking if they were Aaron, but otherwise, no one talked, no one, NO ONE, asked me what my sign said/who it was for. Chris and I talked to each other all day.) Afterwards, Chris addressed the audience (at one point earlier he shed the shirt saying, 'okay, now we're equal'), saying, "You know, today was very special. You know why? Because you got to see the Ramones and Devo on the same stage!" "Awesome! You guys are cool, not like Phoenix. Phoenix was stupid. They tried to argue with me. With *me*!!" Fuckin' hysterical! Then we got "Outshined", Chris working the audience at the edge of the stage, Ben and Kim trading places back and forth, back and forth. Then "Mailman", my recognition of the song earning me more nodded respect from Mr. Headbanger behind me, and then... then... I did the JCP Dance of Joy [tm] in honor of our beloved leader (Seth I mean] and in honor of my own glee as they careened into JCP. I used up the rest of the film then.. I could see Eddie behind the soundboard the whole time, next to Johnny Ramone (nice shiny baseball helmet bobbing up and down made it easy to keep track of him), and when it was 5 to 9 and Eddie hadn't budged I knew there wouldn't be any reunions tonight so i snapped away while going nuts... while the BAND went nuts... at the end chris is pulling the strings off his guitar, going "fucking amazing...best...show...ever....", rolling his head around in ecstasy... kim is trashing his amps... Matt wings his drumsticks into the crowd so hard they ended up in our section [and some FUCKHEAD who didn't belong in the security pit trampled a girl who had fainted in there trying to get to them]... Ben knocks his amps over... Kim headed stage right, grabbed a beer, and we saw him walk across the back of the stage, in silhouette, the last image of him tilting his head back, beer in mouth. Look ma, no hands. I didn't see the rest of the guys leave. Numb with delight, I grabbed my stuff, looked at Chris, and said, "Can we get out of here NOW please???". I wanted to be OUT of there before metallica... not wanting to ruin the SG afterglow. I gave my space to Mr. Polite Headbanger from behind.... and we walked out, gleefully yelling, "Okay, everyone can leave now, there's nothing left to see here". We imagined the worse, running into a HUGE traffic jam on the stairs, figuring everyone had the same idea we did, but once we got through that, stopped to buy two caps, and headed for the exit/entrance, we realized that nope, they were just heading to the food court. We found our car right away (helped to 1) remember what the row # was and 2) park next to a camper), changed clothes/shoes and were on our way inside of 10 minutes -- our goal was to be out of the parking lot before Metallica came onstage. (apparently they were still in LA being interviewed by KISW in Seattle at 9:30 pm... that's respect for your audience....) A fucking HUGE full moon guarded us on our way home through the mountains.... and to make things even MORE awesome, there was a parking space on the block in front of our building when we got home!!! ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: fuckingassholepalooza part II (minimal sg content) PART II: THE REST OF THE DAY (WARNING: MINIMAL SG CONTENT [but still worth reading! really!] Stupid quote of the day: anonymous drunkass fan: "how many more bands until soundgarden??" me: "two more" adf: "who's next?" me: "the ramones!!" adf: "who???" Chris and I pulled into the parking lot about 2pm. We were supposed to meet Bonnie & Tim at the Versateller between 2 and 2:30. The parking lot was full of Metallifans; we're getting attitude already. Chris mentions how he wanted to make a shirt that read "METALLICA FANS SUCK". I'm wishing I had a fork, since I'm dressed for the weather, no SG shirt between the two of us. We load up, smear sunscreen all over ourselves (Aaron, you should have shouted over to me and I'd have tossed you the bottle!), and made our way into the Gorge. They barely searched; we could have brought a fuckin' VIDEO camera in (security: 'no cameras, right?' me: 'no, no cameras'). We walked past the second stage and through the midway, camped out in the shade at the cash machine until 2:30, and then made our way down to the main stage to see screaming trees. No one was down front, really. Most people headed for prime space on the terraces first thing. We were standing behind a row of people at the back barrier, and then after the Trees (fuckin' awesome!!! they played their hearts out... they're from Ellensburg, which makes them locals (about 41 miles from the Gorge)) people moved so we grabbed spaces at the barrier. Our plan was, see Screaming Trees, then see the Melvins at the second stage, then head back for ramones/devo/sg. We had such GREAT spots that I just didn't want to move. So I go to Chris, "um, i really hate to leave here..." chris goes, "me too," so we stayed! It was sunny and HOT -- go look at a map and find George, Washington. IN the middle of the DESERT of eastern Washington, dry heat, on the Columbia River, just AMAZING scenery. Of course we saw that for about five minutes while walking down to the stage because we were so close. Whatever. This was the first concert I've ever been to where a cloud was getting applause (still hot, but no sun). Shaolin Monks were, well, ya know, whatever. And Rancid were so boring I turned my back and read the Lolla magazine. *yawn*. I did see Ben around the soundboard just before Rancid, but he wisely bailed out before it started. If you want to know why music today sucks so badly, here's an example: rancid lead singer: "how many people here have never seen us before?" [majority raise hands] rancid singer: "how many of you would come see us again?" [most raise hands except our party] my only consolation is that I knew the Ramones were on immediately afterwards and would fuckin' blow their asses away. Only interesting point was when they dedicated a song to some chick from Silver Lake and to "Eddie and Beth, from Seattle." Chris and I exchange glances. We only know one Eddie and Beth from Seattle. "Why???" Chris asks. Oh well. We had a feeling he'd be here... mr. cornell peeks out toward the end of the set. The binoculars begin to become a worthwhile investment. I see the pit emptying out and I get that familiar itch to be CLOSER. So I run over to check things out. Sure enough, space at the side of the "T". I motion to chris and he comes over. We immediately get the hose blast. And again. And again. The pit isn't even in the sun any more. This is clearly not going to be fun, but we already lost our places. Fuck. Nevertheless, we go back to where we were and stand behind the people that look most likely to leave soon. We can still see *great*. "1-2-3-4!" The Ramones walk on to the usual "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" music. Even Joey didn't wear a leather jacket today. Do I have to say that they were great? Can I mention how Matt Cameron planted himself very visibly on the side of stage left to watch the show, bopping, playing air drums, the whole time? Joey dedicates "Blitzkrieg Bop" to Soundgarden, "We wouldn't be here without them." I see Kim with an attractive female in a flowered dress (go KIM! ;-) ) behind the soundboard. Jeez, there was practically a SG traffic jam during the Ramones: Matt in the stage left corner. Chris comes out the same side and can't find room. He walks to the right side. A few minutes later, Chris and Ben walk out from the right side and are intersected by Kim and friend right next to Matt. It was distracting; but it's not like I haven't seen the Ramones before! (Personal to Dena: during all of this, I will mention that at one point Matt turned around to look at his kit and bent over with his butt facing the audience, wearing these cute little black-and-red basketball shorts... i whipped out the binoculars just for you, babe) So I fully admit I was more interested in who was hanging out side-of-stage. Okay. I will mention that I was still singing and dancing along to the show while doing so and participating in various crowd response sections. Anyway, i'm checking out stage right and I see this woman who looks very familiar... like Beth Liebling familar? and she's with a guy in a tan shirt... baseball helmet... with a SUPER 8 video camera...and I turn to chris and calmly go, "I THINK EDDIE'S HERE!!!!!! LOOK!" [you know you're REALLY obsessed with a band when you can recognize members incognito by their video taping equipment] and sure enough, there was Eddie V., clean shaven, hair tucked under a san diego baseball helmet, filming the Ramones set and getting into it big time. There's really no way you would have seen him unless you figured out it was him and had binoculars (which we did). It was really cool. Devo is next, and in the interim I hold up the sign trying to find stray SOMMS people. We manage to reclaim 1 1/2 spaces at the barrier which promptly turned into two spaces. Cool. So Devo comes on stage... earlier that day I was trying to figure out if I'd even seen them in the good old days... and I think I did once, opening for Blondie... but as they start playing it suddenly dawns on me: Devo were *never* a live band! I have this live EP... and boy does it suck. But they were still cool. I was wondering if Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh were going to do the whole schtick... and they did... and it worked! It was good! And they dragged out all the hits, including "Girl U Want" as the second song. SG were all there... I could only really see Matt (again)... and Eddie was there too, talking to Johnny Ramone on stage right the whole time. I was surprised how many people in the audience really knew the songs or who Devo were. Wow. About as surprising as the crowd down front chanting 'hey ho, let's go' before the Ramones came on..... Oh, have I mentioned that we attended lolla from 2pm onward and didn't spend one dollar aside from two SG caps? Two bottles of water, a collection of fruit (grapes, apples, nectarines), a power bar and two juice boxes sustained us until we hit Ellensburg and pigged out at Taco Bell at around 10pm. PHOTOGRAPHIC UPDATE: I already know the pictures are amazing. I also have shots of screaming trees, ramones, devo, and i'm gonna blow the ramones ones up to try to get closeups of matt. I missed the deadline today, I promise to get them in tomorrow so I can get them on Friday and scan them on the weekend.... I'll give seth the Sg related ones and the others will be on my web page... I'll let ya know when that happens. PERSONAL TO MATT CAMERON: Who were all those people who wouldn't let you watch the Ramones in peace????

I mean, good ones, that is. Throwing Muses are great, but they wouldn't go with SG well (except on my mix tapes, but that's just me. I tend to combine things like SG, Dead Can Dance, the Pixies, Uzeda--obscure Italian female-fronted hardcore band---HEY they could open for SG!...etc). >well.. secondly, who is your favorite member of soundgarden and why?

Sorry if your not from Europe and you've got this. ------------------------------ From: ThNrthFace@aol.com Subject: .....like a blister in the sun Okay, What can I tell you that Caryn hasn't already? First of all, I FORGOT SUNSCREEN!!! That's right folks, I spent 9 hours and 47 minutes in the hot dessert sun without sunscreen. And yes, I could feel the first few blisters forming on my way home (A world land speed record I think). I too stopped in Ellensberg, but not at Taco Bell. I stopped at Texaco instead for gas and more water. And, unlike Caryn, I lost my car in the nondescript Gorge parking lot all because a few who parked by me left and some vendors were parked there loading up their very large vans, thus hiding my damn car. It was horrendous. It took all of 45 minutes of wandering untill I saw the light that is my vehicle. The vendors did give me a bottle of water and a few beers for hiding my car when I told them the story. Anyways, The Show: I was in the left corer on the inside of the T barricade in the pit, so at my back and side was a barricade. Not wanting to lose my position for Soundgarden, I stayed there from about 12:30 in the afternoon on. I suffered through Judas Priest, I mean Psychotica. Next, came The Screaming Trees, who were amazing, as always. I almost lost my voice singing along with Mark. They only played songs off of Sweet Oblivion and Dust, though. The Monks were the Monks. Rancid? They sure thought they were the shit. "Thought" being the operative word. Ramones were great, and this being the last opportunity to see them, I missed the Melvins, who are always great live. Devo was cool. They sounded pretty good too. They must have been hot in their yellow suits though. And finally Soundgarden. Can I say FUCKING INCREDIBLE!?!?!? Every one in the band was in high spirits. And I amazed those in attendance around me when I told them the song they were going to play next. Thanx to everyone for posting the setlist. :) The whole band was really into the show, too. I'm surprised they didn't make any Metallica comments. They knew that it was (almost) a hometown crowd, so they didn't really need to. I noticed 2 little girls backstage who were probably between the ages of 5 and 7 dancing away during JCP. Corruption of the young and innocent, always a good thing. :) And good ol' Ben was in a chipper mood, to say the least. Among his antics, I saw a Devo impersonation, holding his bass like a gun and shooting people with it (THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE KIM THAYIL MERCENARY SQUAD!), lifting his arm up with a limp wrist towards the people in the pit, and holding his bass in an upright position, masterbating it, then spitting water out of his mouth in the air at climax. Cameras were allowed, so I used 3 rolls of film, only the roll of S.F.W. hasn't been developed yet. And the lens was steaming up, so the pictures taken when my camera was on for a time are hazy. But a few turned out pretty good. And they only searched my food when going through my pack, so I could have brought in video equipment and an assault rifle or two. I left right after Metallifuck. Some Metallica fans had actually made shirts saying "Metallifuck". I saw Caryn behind me and to my left, but by the time I got over there, she was gone. FOILED AGAIN! The list thug and walking tumor, Aaron ------------------------------ From: ThNrthFace@aol.com Subject: Surfers and Throwers Oh yeah, sue the bastards!!! I saw multiple people that were WAY too big and heavy trying to surf. And alot of surfers kicking and trying to stand. Or jumping off either people or barricades. There wasn't nearly enough security guards in the "T". I saw so many people who were surfing landing on people in the "T" who were walking out or just on the ground. People were also jumping from the barricade onto the people in the pit. I grabbed one guy who tried to climb over me and threw him onto the cement. The prick. The security guard ruffed him up while escorting him out too. I wish I had my billy club, damnit. There were no pizza plates being thrown, or at least that I saw. But some fucking pantywast who can't get it up threw an almost full 1.5 litre Gatorade bottle and hit me in the side of the head. I wish I could get my hands on that bastard, then he would know pain and suffering. Plastic cups and bottles were also a popular item in the throwing department. Most of which were empty. Most throwers are smart enough to realize that when it's damn hot, you don't throw water away.
