First off, I write this reply about the Soaring Eagle show after reading the stories of what happened in
Phoenix. The Mt. Pleasant show was my 7th STP show, and I must say, the best performance I've seen
from the band. The 7th row center tix were a plus, and overall, I'd say the concert as a whole was the
best live rock show I have ever attened.
But there were some WEIRD points that bothered me.
A few times during the show, Scott would just start rambling. If you were there, you might know what
I'm talking about. Just before the band played "Coma", Scott went into this 3-4 minute rant about
"stage monitors". Half the stuff he said was hard to hear. It was odd to say the least. I got the impression that he was out-of-it, and didn't realize that what he was saying was weird, and out of place.
He did botch up lyrics a few times, but the show overall was awesome.
As a fan of STP, I'm just wondering when Scott's clock will just stop ticking. I wish the best for him and
the band, but as a fan I wonder:
1) Will STP do another record?
2) Will Scott get himself into trouble AGAIN? (DRUGS, BOOZE, DUI -- you pick the offense)
3) Or is this the last STP tour the fans will ever see?
Your thoughts?
