Live, "White, Discussion"
2007, Boston
"White, Discussion" is the forgotten hit from Live's breakout album, Throwing Copper. You still hear "Lightning Crashes," "Selling the Drama," "I Alone" and "All Over You" on rock radio these days, but never this one. Before the band broke up, Live regularly used the song as an encore closer, featuring blinding strobe lights and Ed Kowalczyk screaming, "Look where all this talking got us, baby!" This performance at the Bank of America Pavilion (or whatever that place was called at the time) was particularly intense, but it's not on YouTube, so here's a version from the year before in Germany:
Chris Cornell, "Black Hole Sun"
Oct. 31, 2005, Lowell, Massachusetts
Audioslave played a Halloween night show at Tsongas Arena, and to start the encore, Chris Cornell came out wearing a Jason mask and carrying an acoustic guitar. He performed a mix of Audioslave and Temple of the Dog songs, but the highlight of this mini-set was the Soundgarden classic "Black Hole Sun," which turned into a giant lighter-waving sing-along.
