This is the final song by Soundgarden: live at the Fox Theater in Detroit, MI, 5/17/17
In many ways... this performance makes me sad.
It's clear that Cornell is wasted. I can't imagine what was going through his head at the time.
Don't you think there's a problem with the culture, where high-performing, talented people are pressured to abuse substances and die at a young age?

Unmet expectations of ones own life...
It reminds me of what is probably the most important scene in Fight Club:
We have been promised so much as children.

But that's not the reality, is it...?

Chris Cornell, Layne Stayley, Scott Weiland, Kurt Cobain...looks like Eddie Vedder is the only frontman left from the top-selling grunge bands.
