Chris Cornell

I first heard him on YouTube - through a chance mention.  I had no idea who he was, but loved the sound of him and his guitar.  So when he came to Brisbane, I was so pleased to go to the concert.

It was kind of weird - it was at the Concert Hall; most ticket holders knew the score and didn't come in till after interval.  Their loss - they missed the support act Mat McHugh.  I was probably the oldest there and definitely not a rocker, so I looked quite different.  But it didn't matter.  Chris was amazing - he appeared relaxed, at home, invited people onto the stage, had great audience rapport.  Even though I didn't know many of the songs, it was still wonderful.
