I’ve been reading the past week or two about some moments on the Stone Temple Pilots tour that have been ummm, interesting?

The shows have been either REALLY great like the show that I saw at Rock on the Range (and might even review someday,) or a complete miss. I talked to my Detroit buddy, and he said that STP were great last night.

But about those nights that haven’t been so great? Let’s check out a bit from Opie and Anthony on that…

Here’s video from the show mentioned above by O&A:

And while we’re at it, here’s my all-time favorite Stone Temple Pilots memory of a show that I wish I would have been at. Thank goodness it was preserved for posterity via radio broadcast.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to post this somewhere outside of my long-delayed Rock on the Range review, and here’s that chance – thanks, Weiland, for creating some headlines to link this show post with!

It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 8 years since this show! It’s one of the most kick ass STP shows I’ve heard to date – hope you dig it!
