U.S. band plays to 50,000 in Cuba

05/12/05

HAVANA — With an inspired 26-song set, Audioslave made history May 6, playing by far the biggest show for an American band in Cuba.

An estimated 50,000 fans at the sprawling La Tribuna Antimperialista José Martí watched as the band made one of its longtime dreams come true.

Many of the fans were wearing T-shirts of Audioslave and other American rock bands.

Heavy on music and light on banter, the nearly two-and-a-half-hour set included several Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden songs alongside Audioslave favorites and tracks from the band’s forthcoming second LP, “Out of Exile.”

The group also played a “jam?” (as it was called on the setlist) with the local opening act, singer X Alfonso.
