Soundgarden kicked off their first full tour in 14 years Saturday night at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto.

"Welcome to the first show of the first tour in 13, 14 years," said vocalist Chris Cornell before adding, "This is the best place to start. It sounds like bulls**t, but it's not bulls**t.”

The 2-hour show started with “Black Rain,” the previously unreleased which was recorded during the 1991 “Badmotorfinger” sessions and finally surfaced on last year’s career retrospective, “Telephantasm.”

The month-long tour hit London, Ontario Sunday night and will hit Ottawa, Uncasville, CT and Newark, NJ this week.

Soundgarden have been in the studio working on a new album this year, which is 80% done, according to drummer Matt Cameron.

"We're going to record a couple of more songs in August when we get back from tour and then hopefully we can mix it up and put it out," Cameron told Boston rock station WAAF.
