Then The Vic Theater show was announced and that became the objective.<\/p>\n<p>The line to get into the Vic was wrapped around the block due to the \u2018paperless ticket\u2019 system but the line moved smoothly once the doors opened.  Dom and I managed to get seats in the front row of the balcony towards the left side of the stage.  Seats because we are old men.  Seats for Soundgarden.<\/p>\n<p>The show was about as intense as you would imagine.  The bass player, Ben Shepard, looked like he was going to kick some one\u2019s ass.  It was awesome.<\/p>\n<p>The setlist:<br \/>\n01. Searching With My Good Eye Closed<br \/>\n02. Spoonman<br \/>\n03. Gun<br \/>\n04. Rusty Cage<br \/>\n05. Let Me Drown<br \/>\n06.
