Cornells Best Live Performance EVER!? | Beyond the Wheel Soundgarden Live in Düsseldorf, Germany 

This video blows me away! Chris is other-worldly here. Nobody can sing like this. He is F-ING AMAZING!

Matt sounds awesome here as well! The band is hitting on all cylinders!

Soundgarden's got some powerful sound

"Have a Happy Day" is Chris LOLOL He was dorky funny. Matt is a GOAT for sure. He's one of my fav drummers no doubt.

I'm a bit late to this, but this was a great reaction. I liked that you actually broke down some of the things that were happening. No doubt this is one of the best Soundgarden performances on video! However, there is a better live version of Beyond the Wheel that is deep in the Super Deluxe version of their Superunknown album. Live at Exhibition Stadium, Toronto, CA 1993, you should be able to easily find it on RU-vid and Spotify. Chris' voice is even more immense on that version, you'll love it!

You're so underrated bro

This was less than a month after Andrew Wood died. Who knows what Chris was feeling....

I watched a Rick beato interview with Kim back when Chris was playing drums they were actually looking for a singer. They didn't know what they had in Chris. Lol unbelievable

saw them play this at bumbershoot (local seattle festival) in 1990 when I was about 13 years old. These guys were incredible

Definitely several other better live performances of this although this one has high production quality.

Not even the best live performance of this, he was suffering with a heavy cold on the night...Cornell stands head and shoulders above the rest

I really enjoyed watching you break this performance down. The intro to this song where Thayil is hitting that open chord and sliding into that harmonic is tricky. It was cool that you picked up on that signature Kim feed back thing, that Soundgarden sound.

Absolutely amazing! My favorite group and voice.... His voice has always great. His voice was very suited for this type of music. Musical Genius ❤

Of all the videos of Soundgarden on RU-vid, this performance is my favorite 🤘🔥🤘🔥 CHRIS WAS EPIC ROCK GOD HERE. That audience should’ve been going wild. I’m loving all the details you’re helping me appreciate. And right when I was thinking this song sounds like a dragon of rock was being born - you throw in the part about Thayil’s little Pteradactyl screech sound 🤘😜

i got to this late but you're genuinely curious so I hope you see this. that 'soundgarden sound' is specific to Kim's Guild Polara. The stop-bar tail leaves 2-3" of string behind the bridge and he only uses the Guild Polara for this sound. It's a somewhat offset SG clone. also 'pitchiness' isn't inherent to grunge but harmonic dissonance is. this is one of the rare tracks where that dissonance doesn't really translate in this performance but that's likely because of the mix. probably the best example I can think of is 'Limo Wreck' as the chords shift Chris holds notes from one chord to the next.

my fav Cornell song of all time. Cornell is right behind Layne as far as the goat.. only reason I put Layne first is his ability to make me feel every single word and his harmonies

Thanks for this. I'm a 50 year old guy who has been listening to everything Chris has done since 1990, and I've never heard this performance. Great analysis. 👍

Love your passion!!!!!!! More Layne please, he is God!!!!!! . . Chris is thunderous in this.

Best vocalist ever!

Thank you so much for taking on board my suggestion, I’m humbled! Glad you appreciated the mind blowing power and passion from this performance. By the way, for your convenience, the lyrics are as follows: Far beyond the road Between your house and home There is a churning storm Of hailing burning bones Tiny baby cries Little, tiny pawn In the profit gain Tiny baby grows Mother, who's your man Is he doing what he can To make a proper home, home By overturning other stones, stones Father, mighty man Loves his little boys, boys Shows them how to kill To save his precious stones, stones Far beyond the wheel Spin your life around By driving flesh and blood Deep into the ground, ground Far beyond the wheel Steers life around By driving flesh and blood, blood Deep into the ground, ground

THAT IS CHRIS CORNELL

Another spectacular song on this album is the blues cover of smokestack lightning

I wanna send you to react to another live mind-blowing SG live song Birth Ritual (Lol im guessing you already familiar with this one

That is amazing!

oh and this is all mix head chest voice, no Falsettos

Two weeks after he lost his best friend and roommate, Andy.

That’s not a SG guitar. It’s a Guild.

sounds like you said behind the wheel haha, i'll always hear that instead of beyond now fml

Nice. :)

Have a happy day, he was just trying to say: "Now go and have a normal working day german wageslaves."

Whatever, AIC (TRUE Chains, not that imitation thats around today) is untouchable, no one can match their (Laynes) greatness.

that's not even his best performance of this song. he had fever through out this gig. his best performance of this song ---> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-viz5Y9ZQEFY.html

You should check out this version of the same song from 1992: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-viz5Y9ZQEFY.html There's a scream at 4:18 that's a real killer. I also think his voice sounds a bit better in this version than the 1990 version.

He's muting the lower D string so the 4th D can ring out. He slides slowly up so as to allow the bass D to slowly drown out.

This is far from his best performance and far from best Beyond The Wheel perfomance Try Live at Kawasaki 1994 this here is for casuals man:)
