I love STP's live show, especially how tight the band has become since their reunion tour. (I've seen them four times since '08). We know that their shows can be rather straightforward at times. The idea that I had in mind was that, after stp plays a slower song (ala creep,Big Empty) they could go into press play since its mostly drum and bass anyway. Then fade the lighting to where its on Rob and Eric and at this time Scott and Dean exit stage right just to the point where they cant be seen.While Eric lays down a soft groove, Rob could improv a solo over the groove. Nothing too long, maybe about 15- 20 measures. Once thats done Eric can lay down a kick ass drum solo for about 45 seconds to a minute long. Once thats done, Eric should do a single, snare hit and they come right back in your face with Heaven & Hotrods or something fast and heavy that takes off right from the start.
I know its far feteched, but I would love to see Stp pull off something like this during their shows. It builds some tension in the show and it gives every member a quick breather ( not like they really need it hehe.)
