    Yup, Shangri is a solid album, one of my favorites from STP.

    If you haven't already you should check out "12 Bar Blues"...Scott's solo album...some really unique music that exemplifies how good a musician he really is.


    Bought it the first day it came out. Very good album

    Where's your man is one my personal favorites from it

    yes, I heard that too, which is why I thought it was funny when Army of Anyone was playing it live...

    Yeah I read about that while watching that Comcast Music Choice channel, funny thing is I've never heard it live.

    @Topic: STP does indeed kick ass. I've only listened to Core and Purple, but they're great albums, full of infectious tracks such as "Vasoline", "Wicked Garden", the (IMO) Soundgarden-esque "Big Empty", and "Sex Type Thing".

    Love 90% of STP tunes, but there are a couple that I always hated:

    Big Empty and Days of the week - very , very annoying.

    Much like Mary, Mary on the new VR album.

    see now those last two i think are quite catchy

    i do agree with you on big empty though. very "eh" song
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    Speaking of "Big Empty", anybody seen that TV Spot for The Crow (1994) ?

    No4 back in print whoever needs it... (maybe wait, I would think STP will be releasing this like the last albums in their own style set)

    Yes! Super excited for this. No. 4 is their only album I don't have on vinyl. 

    I was fortunate enough to see STP with Scott several times between 1995 and 2010. Saw them with RHCP and Fishbone on the No. 4 tour and it was awesome. They were at their peak of excellence around that time as a live band, IMO.

    Shangri La Dee Da too


    Hesitant to pull the trigger as I was really hoping for a No 4 deluxe for the anniversary. There's some cool bonus tracks to choose from and that Vegas live show (or whatever they've got for that tour) could have been great.

    I am wired and fading...

    Saw STP last night at Deer Creek. They did the entire Purple album. The sound wasn't the best but they were great.

    Awesome! I haven't seen them with Jeff yet. Pretty much always on board with the DeLeo bros and Kretz.

    As much as I miss STP with Scott, I'm glad that the other members continue to share their music with the world. They are all badasses at what they do.

    We had a great time at this show. We were down in the pit and I got to shake Jeff's hand when he came into the crowd during Vasoline.
    Also got a pick from Robert!!!

    Jeff does a great job as a frontman.

    Picked up the 45 RPM Purple reissue. Can’t wait to listen! Soundtrack to the best summer of my youth.

    Nice! Love that album. That one and Core that were released on colored vinyl a few years ago to Wal-Mart (and maybe some other large retailers) sound pretty horrible to me. My copy of Core is pretty unlistenable and Purple isn't much better. 

    I bought the Tiny Music box set and those records sound fantastic! I know they are capable of doing justice to those albums on vinyl but they missed the mark on my copies.

    They did Core as an analog productions reissue as well. 45 rpm. Atlantic 75th anniversary reissues. That one sounds amazing. I expect Purple to sound amazing as well.
