They played from a show at the Hollywood Palladium in 1989 (?). Setlist is : Come Together Ugly Truth Get On The Snake Mood For Trouble Hands All Over Into The Void Outshined Gun Room A Thousand Years Wide Big Dumb Sex Now, the show is supposedly in '89, but there is a SOMMS song, and 2 BMF songs in there? was it early concert testing or is the date just plain wrong (i like number 2). And Big Dumb Sex has no curses, but they are not cut...they are simply not there (?). anyways, if anyone knows about this show...or would like a copy (i'll trade...), lemme know. chewy (dave) pkin@interaccess.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 11:16:51 -0400 From: Kelly Hendricks Subject: 1-800-TRUTH I got a copy of the MuchMusic Spotlight (thanks a million Benlover) and I wonder why in hell does MTV (or who ever) edit and cut out some of the stuff that was in these videos. I found so many differences. I just don't understand what's wrong with the videos?!?!? Especially the ending of Pretty Noose??? What is so wrong with that??? Anyway, on to a question: Which version of the Outshined video do you guys/gals like best? For me, it's the one where Chris is wrapped in the plastic stuff (I think someone on the list said it reminded them of "fly paper"). I just can't get into the one with the man on the big hamster wheel??? Although the Chris looks yummy in both!!!...oh...sorry!!! Oh also, has anyone noticed on the Hands All Over video where Chris is laying posed on this moving piece of equipment (Iyour guess is as good as mine) and he's singing, doesn't it look like he's trying SO hard not to laugh?? It does to me!! Well, I've filled your already cluttered minds with more shit!! Sorry!! Take care and be sweet!! Stay Cool, Kelly (C: ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 12:28:39 -0400 From: Sean Greene Subject: anyone who gets 94.1 YSP (philly station) if i am not mistaken, i heard on the radio this morning that 94.1 WYSP will be airing a soundgarden concert tonight in its in concert series...i don't know when it is from, probobly not to long ago....i don't know when it starts, either, so if anyone knows please tell me ferby ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 15:22:53 -0400 From: Dylan Subject: BMFvinyl,etc... Hey SOMMSters... List activity seems pretty slow nowdays. I guess everybody is away for the summer? Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a copy of Badmotorfinger on vinyl that they would like to sell, or if anyone knows where I could pick one up without paying too much... ALSO, I guess we'll be the first to hear, but I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about a possible release date for the new HATER album? And to the SOMMSters who have been to the shows recently, what is the new material like? Are many of the songs as short as "Convicted?" Dylan ps...check out my band's homepage at: edweb.concord.wvnet.edu/~dyl an/wl.htm ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 15:45:32 -0400 From: Alissa Corsi Subject: Re: Live SG on the radio---Chicago yeah... I heard the ending credits for this one.... they broadcasted it when I was on vacation down near NYC, and when I got back to my hotel room, I heard the last remnants of it..... I think I woke the entire hotel w/ my sobbing wails...... nothing good ever happens to me..... =P "Remember I love you, love you" love, lissa =) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 17:23:27 -0400 From: Nadia Standard Subject: from the import files... Is there a such thing as a single release of TY-Cobb...excuse me if it was talked about before, but someone told me that they heard there was such a thing. not to create more dead contraversy, but the seventeen thing should not be taken so seriously. Take it from someone who is about 16 yrs. old, and how hate those girly magazines to the death. I'm also glad to see that Chris is going to do something musically. I'm sure we all are. I'd just hate to see him(of any of the guys for that manner) disappear off the face of the musical planet. Hoping for a new Hater album, The original pretty noose ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 19:22:12 -0400 From: Rebekah Henderson Subject: Touch Me This is driving me absolutely insane!!! It's about the song "Touch Me". I remember reading about that song and the only place that could have been is on Seth's site. I don't remember exactly how it goes and that's why I want to find it so badly. I know that the woman singing on that song was the wife of somebody working on that song. Producer? Mixer? I don't remember that part. She did her vocal part and Chris didn't even know about it because he wasn't there. He comes in the next day to do his part and was surprised to hear her singing. Anyway, I pretty much know the story, but I can't find where I read it at. I've searched Seth's site and I've looked through all the releases and I can't for life of me find where I read that. I'm losing sleep over this! This is crazy. Can anybody help me before I pull all my hair out? May Soundgarden be with you.

Can anybody help me before I > pull all my hair out? perhaps you saw it in the faq, section 2.17. "Those of you who have heard the b-side cover of "Touch Me" may be wondering who that banshee-like voice accompanying Chris actually belongs to. The scoop is this: during recording sesssions for that particular song, Kim invited his good friend Bruce Fairweather down to make the day a little more bareable. While transcribing the lyrics for Chris (who would come in the next day to add vocals), someone suggested that Fairweather's wife Stephanie try them out. In short, one take was all that was necessary; highly impressive considering that Barber had never sung professionally before that day. The next day Chris came in to complete his own vocal track and was surprised by the production team with Barber's decidedly raw delivery. Thus we hear this one time duet between Chris and Stephanie Barber." just out of interest (and I could be a little off, as it is second hand information), matt came first in _modern drummer_ in the category of best hard rock drummer and third in the same category in _drum!_ magazine. subscribers to said magazines will be able to confirm or deny... ----------------------------------------------- in your real life, treat it like it's special in your real life, try to be more kind in your real life, think of those that love you in this real life, try to be less blind words by vernon reid ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 20:18:22 -0400 From: Dave Nailling Subject: Strange songs on Reading Festival Bootleg... Howdy! Hey everyone! I haven't been on SOMMS for about a month or two, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Anyway, I was listenening to my bootlegged copy of Soundgarden at the Reading Festival (8/27/95) and noticed a few oddities. First of all, they played a song which I have never heard before. After checking the lyrics on the page, I noticed that the song on the tape isn't there. I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out most of the lyrics (The quality of the tape isn't that good), but it ends with something like "You'll never smile without me, you'll never talk without me, you can't see without me, You can't be without me, You're gonna cry without me, You're gonna die without me." The last line is repeated a bunch of times, and then the song ends. Also, they finished with some extremely cool minor sounding instrumental followed by extreme feedback. If you have any idea what these songs are called, Please write me ASAP. Also, If you want a copy of the Reading Bootleg, I'm sure we could work something out. THanks a lot! -Dave ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 20:51:43 -0400 From: eliza Subject: Sly covered agin Not major SG content, but...went to see U2 last night, and in the middle of a transition from "Still Havent Found" to "Stand By Me", Bono burst out with 5 or 6 lines of "Thank You Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Agin"...I think that is the only time I have heard that song covered in concert, besides Soundgarden.... and i headed to Columbus a few hours early, in hopes of checking out some stores that might have a better Sg collection than the lousy stores here....*but* i must have dug around 10-15 stores around Ohio State and did not find *anything* that i havent seen everywhere else!...*sigh*, the shopaholic was not fulfilled... eliza ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 21:10:33 -0500 From: Michele Subject: Re: anyone who gets 94.1 YSP (philly station) Yeah it's on right now!

I anyone could tell me, that would be good. thanks paul ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 20:35:30 -0700 From: Rachel Thompson Subject: Re: anyone who gets 94.1 YSP (philly station) Did anyone get this recorded? If so, could you drop me a line? Thanks! Peace Love Empathy Rachel ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 May 1997 20:39:43 -0700 From: Rachel Thompson Subject: whatever you want it to be... Hey there all, Well I'm pretty excited, tomorrow I'm going to the Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center. And guess who's playing? Artis the Spoonman. I tell you, that guy is a hell of a spoonplayer. It's incredible... Does anyone know when HYPE! will be released on video to the U.S.? I've been dying to finally own it. I thought it was interesting how it was released in Australia, before the U.S. Anyway, get back to me if you know... Peace Love Empathy Rachel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 May 1997 00:14:03 -0500 From: NIKI FREER Subject: 94.1 WYSP...anyone? okay, guys, i got from halfway into Into the Void on, but i totally missed a huge portion of the concert broadcast, i was on here checking my mail and got the message from Michele saying it was on so i went and popped in the tape and that's all i got. if anyone got the entire thing on tape, i'd really love a copy of it, i'll send you a tape and everything. = ) thanks so much. Deb from PA... i'll send out the tape for Inflatable Soule real soon, some college stuff has been clogging me down lately. a side note- I was at my uncle's party today and i had to do a talent for their funny little thing (a bunch of drunk relatives putting on a talent show, way funny) so i played BUTOW. the one guy knew what i was playing and after i finished that, he sang along as i played FoBD. now i see what people get out of music. being able to look up and see him singing along because i was playing a song... wow. it almost made me really want to be a musician. it's totally made me understand the passion musicians feel though. it was just the best rush in the world... i really can't explain it. = ) but i digress to the extreme.. .. later, mind riot ____ i was crying from my eye teeth and bleeding from my soul... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 25 May 1997 to 26 May 1997 ************************************************
