Yeah, it's taken me a little bit to recover, but this show rocked!!! It was some what surreal. I went with my ex-girlfriend (don't ask, just know we are huge STP fans) and we had a blast. Ran into two of my buddies randomly who came last second. They are not big STP fans, but said how impressed they were with the show.
I feel like all the STP songs got the biggest pop from the crowd. Especially Vasoline, I think cause it was the first of the STP songs played. Really, I mean people were going nuts for it. During the show, there were some douche bags who repeatedly yelled for "STP" and whenever a non-STP song came on, these fools were yelling at Scott. They bothered no one expect the few of us surrounding them. Some random girl told them to shut the fuck up and enjoy the show or leave. haha, it was cool. However, when they guys came back for the encore, almost everyone was chanting "STP." Scott just played it off like he didn't even hear it, while the rest of the guys smiled and somewhat laughed among each other, as if it's nothing new to them. Truly, it didn't matter if they played any STP but I will say I'm thankful for the ones they played, especially Unglued and Atlanta. Though, I swear it felt like either Scott either flubbed a few of the lines or they shortened the song. I could be entirely wrong, but it just seemed to go quicker than the length I thought it was.
The part wickedgarden23 mentioned about the band rolling on the ground was awesome. I forget which song, probably a jam, but Doug went over and just purposely, but playfully, kept bumping into Tommy (the bassist) and then the other guitarist with long hair started getting involved. They went down, then Scott did a freakin tumble sault across the stage and knocked into all 3 of them. The 4 of them, just laid there, still playing, and the crowd ate it up.
Man, the show was perfect. The only thing I had to complain about were the drink prices. What a ripoff. Oh, the opening band, Cold, Cold Heartbreakers were really good. Check them out. They were local.
After the show, I went to close my tab and go to the bathroom. When I went to the bar, who did I see chillin having some drinks with the fans? Doug. He was in a real good mood just shooting the shit with about 7 or 8 people. I didn't want to be "that guy" who tries to kiss a rock stars ass, but I was drunk enough where I thought it'd be ok. Haha. Almost everyone around him wanted autographs and pictures. All I did was cheers him with our beers, shook hands, and told him how impressed I was and happy to see them play. That was cool.
Well, great show. If anyone can catch these guys on tour, I definitely suggest you do.
And, wickedgarden23, it was cool catching up with ya towards the end there too! I totally forgot about trying to find ya until I looked over and saw the shirt you said you'd be wearing. Than I was like, that's just gotta be him. haha. Well, that's it for me....
