The mini-set provided an informal setting (perhaps a bit too informal as drummer Eric Krets appeared to be outfitted in an undershirt and boxer shorts at this stage of the evening) complete with couches, throw-pillows, and burning candles from which the group performed an acoustic interlude that included a cover of Zeppelin’s “Dancing Days” and the obvious “Creep” from their 1992 smash debut Core amongst a couple of numbers from their most recent effort, Tiny Music. STP even granted an “Unplugged” session for their fans as a mini-stage descended from the ceiling as Tiny Music’s “Daisy” played, a song that sounds like dinner music that you might hear at one of your area’s finer eating establishments. Whatever the case may be, STP no longer masks the illusion of diversity. Of course, I must pose the question of whether this transformation was made because it was the direction that the Pilots intended on pursuing or if it was simply a reaction to critics’ accusations of unoriginality. The evolution that the band has made from Led Zeppelin and Alice In Chains copyists to the pop-rock innovators who recorded the recent Tiny Music.Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop was most apparent on this evening when one could hear their current single “Lady Picture Show” with its Beatlesque melody followed by the grungy riff-driven “Unglued” from 1994’s Purple.
STP’s stage was as clean as one must hope that Weiland is these days with no stage props beyond a large yellow dome canopy and no clutter whatsoever on the floor except for the musicians themselves and their gear.ĭecked out in a dark suit with white tie and a disheveled, “I just got out of bed” hair style, Weiland and the boys charged through a lengthy set that incorporated a healthy dose of tunes from each of their three album repertoire. The singer certainly seemed happy to be back at the helm with his toothy grin serving as evidence. After a much publicized, court-ordered, mandatory stint in drug rehab, not only did Weiland show up, but he seemed the picture of health skip-dancing all about the stage with arms flailing in every which direction. 2019 will find STP writing the next chapter in their storied career with a new album, so be sure to subscribe to keep up with all the latest updates.On this day before Thanksgiving, which marks the mid-way point of Stone Temple Pilots’ current six-week tour, vocalist Scott Weiland should be thankful that he was even able to show up himself.
