It is nuts how good Scott looks in this concert footage compared to the last few months of his life.
Yeah, but if you were paying attention at the time, Scott was sober and performing well from sometime in 2009, until he fell of the stage and broke his heel or whatever happened in 2010ish. Been a while so my dates are kinda iffy. I believe the song was Crackerman and people started acting like Scott lip synced when he sang live because he barely skipped a beat after falling off the damn stage.... I feel like it was even acknowledged how that incident caused him to be "under the influence" around that time while performing....
THAT was really the turning point where Scott wasn't "the same performer" even though there were still good shows after that. I saw STP in March 2010, Kansas City, and Scott was wearing the same Oui Paris shirt he had on during the Chicago show. Whatever he was prescribed for his injured foot sometime between those 2 shows started a downhill slide he never recovered from....
2013 was really the year I noticed Scott looked "different", but in a worse way, but those last few months even though the shows were good, he really did look empty and dead inside....
