I went! Same set pretty much minus All in that suit.Weiland was fucking on tonight! I have seen STP numerous times and this was one of my fave performances.Aside from a slight flub during Sour Girl (which I am sure nobody else noticed) they were fucking great.Weiland was moving around a lot and, yes, he is bald from my view anyway. Here is the only downside for me. The kids I was supposed to ride up with ended up stopping at a bar on the way back when they saw a big tour bus.Weiland was inside and my friend Jeramy who is probably the biggest STP fan I know besides me got a pic with him.I guess Weiland  wasn't going to take any but the woman he was with took the shot when she heard the pic was for my friends nine year old son(the kid really does love STP).Anyway, I know I am rambling but I am tired and I guess I will have to make-do with the pic of me next to Weiland on the SLDD couch which you can see right here on this site under Family Values ( I would love to know who sent those in)

I know people have said Weiland is hit and miss this tour but tonight was a hit.I loved the group bow at the end.Lots of people must not care to read the set lists online because everyone around me was like WTF? when they came to Big Empty.
Robert did a couple cool jumps tonight, he is just, well cool.Once again,sorry for the rambling but it is 3 am and I am tired.I was so unsure what to expect from our boy after reading the reviews on here but tonight, he was great.This was one of the first STP shows that I was not in a pit for so I was able to take it all in instead of trying to hug a barrier.I know I have talked about my desire for a changed setlist and I wish they would switch it up,but I guess they must see how people seem to calm down during TCQ, Coma and a few others.

I had seats by the lawn but moved up a good thirty rows thanks to the 80 year old ushers they had at the venue.

I think the Shangri songs actually expose them to an audience that has never heard them.  My Dad liked Too Cool Queenie and it actually encouraged him to listen to some of Shangri LA DEE DA.  They should change up the rarities every few shows, and I'm talking about just changing up one or two songs, not the whole set, if they don't oh well, at least they're doing kick ass shows.


STP Shows: 5/1/08, 6/24/08, 12/31/08, 7/1/09, 5/25/10, 6/5/10, 10/29/10, 9/22/12, 5/30/13, 9/1/13
Velvet Revolver Shows: 7/22/06, 9/15/07
Scott Weiland Shows: 12/14/08, 12/8/11

I agree, I mean I have been hoping for Still Remains or something we don't always hear but like I said after reading reviews from hardcore fans saying how bad Weiland was, I was kind of nervous about what to expect.Believe me, STP is my favorite band other than GNR (so guess who thought VR was a dream come true?) and I would admit if Weiland was bad but tonight, it was like the Scott of old. Cool about your dad and SLDD.

Great to hear it was an awesome show. How was the crowd? Hopefully there was more people than at the Glens Falls show!

Here a review of the show with some wicked pics
http://www.mpnnow.com/entertainment/x2050099550/Big-bang-baby-STP-is-back

Great find. Sounds like it was a killer show. Glad to hear that attendance was solid given the low turnout at the other upstate NY show.

"Known for his vocal range..."

Nice to see someone give him that kind of props!

Good read, thanks for posting.

Apparently the people over at dime have been scooping the shows for their own use and not sharing.
I'm managed to be on the ball last night and grab this excellent recording of the full show.
 Hats off to the original recorder who did a great job.
I have re-upped this show at traders den.
 Spread the fuckin love man !!!!!!!!!!!!
