Audioslave (driven by Chris Cornell's stirring vocals, Tom Morello's innovative guitar and the razor-sharp rhythm section of bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk) treated the packed-house crowd to a mix filled with hits from their multi-platinum-selling 2003 debut ("Cochise," "Like A Stone"), tracks from new album Out of Exile-which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart--("Your Time Has Come," "Doesn't Remind Me"), and a few jaw-dropping surprises (Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun," "Outshined," and "Spoonman," along with Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls On Parade"). It's worth noting that LIVE IN CUBA is the first and only recording to feature ex-Soundgarden vocalist Cornell and ex-Rage members Morello, Commerford and Wilk performing songs from their former bands.

The event was organized by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Instituto Cubano de la Musica and took place, ironically enough, in a plaza built five years ago as a place for mass protest against the US government. In a recent interview with Billboard, Morello recalled the monumental show. "We had no idea if it was going to be 70 people or 70,000," he said. "It turns out it was the latter-many of whom were clearly fans of the band. A lot of them were singing along, some were making a mosh pit, some were salsa-ing, some were pogo-ing. A lot of them just couldn't believe it was really happening."

LIVE IN CUBA will also be available in a single-DVD version that includes the documentary and 14 live tracks.
