AUDIOSLAVE - Live In Cuba

In 2005 Audioslave accomplished an historic feat by being the first American rock band to perform in Cuba. In the Out Of Exile documentary you get to hear their thoughts on the trip and performance, the place and the people, and travel with them around this fascinating country. The free concert drew a crowd of 60 000 people at the Anti-Imperialst Plaza in Havana. Besides the kick for the band, most of the people in the audience never experienced a live music experience such as this. With only two albums thus far, it is highly unlikely that the amalgamation of Rage Against The Machine and Soundgarden would leave out any of your favourite Audioslave tunes. They let rip with Set It Off, Your Time Has Come, the ever popular Like A Stone, The Worm, the pounding Gasoline, Doesn't Remind Me, the lovely Be Yourself, the punchy Bulls On Parade, Sleep Now In The Fire, Out Of Exile, the solo acoustically opened version of I Am The Highway, Show Me How To Live, and of course closing with the explosive Cochise. They also include an old Soundgarden tune, Outshined. While Chris Cornell's great voice struggles just a touch in places, Tom Morello's guitar is as spot-on as the recordings, including his intricate little fiddles and squeaks (but let's not forget the tight rhythm section of Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk). For those who care about minor details, some out-of-sync edited drum shots will be annoying. A powerful performance with no frills or gimmicks, coupled with some rock music history in the making.
