I saw them last night in Charlotte and they kicked my ass. It was awesome. Haven't seen them since right after Purple came out and damn I'm sorry it was so long. If you have the chance go see them.

Highlights of the show were opening with Big Empty, Lounge Fly, Big Bang Baby and Sin were amazing, and the encore of Dead and Bloated with Scott sporting a Clint Eastwood Man With No Name trilogy Poncho.

Awesome. I will not be missing them again.

    I'm sorry to hear that release30. I missed them at the Virgin Fest too so don't feel too bad, I'm still conflicted over that one. Glad to see an actual positive STP post here on the Other Music board! I love this band, even though Weiland can be pretty outta control sometimes. When the band is 'on,' they are one of the best live shows around, IMO.

    awesome!
    i saw them back in 2000 with RHCP and earlier this month, both times stellar performances/shows. love em! always happy to read positive experiences/reviews b/c it just seems so popular as of late to hate on STP. weilan has his issues to be sure, but it does not discount his immense talent, nor the talents of such a tight band with quite the catalogue of amazing tunes! :)
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    You got it. His presence on stage is undeniable. He really had the crowd into it last night. Granted they took the stage kinda late but they made up for it with the catalog of material and intensity of the performance. They were indeed "ON" as it's said :)

    One of the best non-PJ shows I've seen in awhile.

    Damn that Lounge Fly was awesome!! Hahahaha

    There have been plenty of positive STP reviews here along with the negative ones because that's just the reality of it. And as for missing them at Virgin Fest...no big loss on your part. In addition to hitting the stage late and a set of only 40 minutes, it was not their best day on a stage. Far from their worst, but not their best.

    Oh yea I've seen some positive ones and I realize the shows have been up and down because of Weiland. The show reviews I can understand, because I've seen footage of some absolutely awful performances by Weiland, and I've seen some really solid ones. I guess my point was, and I wasn't clear enough now that I re-read it, is all the bashing of Weiland because of his addiction problems. While I agree that it's fucked up for him to ruin shows for his fans, I don't think its cool for people to count the days till he ODs.

    Thanks for the info on the Virgin Fest; I heard it was great, but a short set as expected.

    Yeah, that's a bit crude and no one deserves that. Not even Weiland.
