The only time I saw them was in '92 in San Francisco during the 2nd 
Lollapalooza festival.  Obviously, outdoors with a shortened set in-between 
other bands in the middle of the day is a less than ideal way to see most 
bands.  That said, Pearl Jam and especially Ministry blew my mind. 
Soundgarden, not so much.  I've since grown to appreciate their entire 
catalog, especially the first couple albums and will definitely catch a show 
when they play LA but I think they've kind of waited a bit too long for 
this, considering Cornell's diminished vox.
