Everyone can have their own opinion, but I am a little shocked that this was considered the best stp show ever by some. When I saw them in Vegas in Jan 09 that was an amazing show and one would not even think the same band was playing in Milwaukee. The stp experience with a sober Scott is simply out of this world.
Not to say this is armageddon or the end of stp, but in my opinion it was an awful show. The venue was acoustically subpar, which only added to Scott’s problems, and the crowed was barely into stp. Scott made bizarre comments between songs through the entire concert, similar to much of the 2008 tour. At one point he said something about a bear and caterpillar, another time he mentioned stp is a rock and roll band which plays like punk, the rest of the time he was unintelligible. Scott also had some fascination with maracas, which I don’t recall seeing in previous shows.
I would need to look at video’s from last night’s show, but I believe parts of Vaseline, Plush, Sex Type Thing, Dead and Bloated, and Loungefly all had parts where Scott’s mic was turned down so the band could resync. Not really a big deal, but this is my 9th show since 2008 and very different from the others.
