WOW what a show! It made up greatly for last summer in Burgettstown when the sound guy didn't turn on Scott's mic till the end!

Tonight was probably the best show all around I have seen of the band since my first show in  2008...They just ruled and kicked ass. The crowd was eating it up and it showed with each band members performance. The crowd gave multiple STP chants throughout the show and gave loud applause after each song.

Scott was the most energetic I have seen him since the reunion...I think it had to do with a great crowd that was singing along the whole night and he noticed it. Dean, Robert, and Eric were also playing their asses off.

Robert was doing his familiar heart pat all night feeling the love from the crowd and we were certainly giving it!

Despite the arena being half full it was awesome seeing the band in that setting...they sounded great!

If you are on the fence about going you should go because they are great now! No gripes about the setlist because it has a little bit of everything...Also, glad that they are still playing three songs from the new album to promote it.

Here is my video of ...

^^^ aww man, you musta been on the lawn for the Burgettsown show, I know they had some problems with Scotts mic at that show. Fortunately, I was about in the fourth row for that show and Scott and the band really sounded good at that show too. I did not even know until after the show that there were mic problems in certain parts of the facility. 


This show was at Indiana University of Pennsylvania at their brand new facility called the Kovalchick Complex. Opening act was Rose Hill Drive( http://rosehilldrive.com/ ) who put on a decent set.


Was a little concerned about the sound quality after the opener but STP's sound system had quite a bit more muscle behind it. This was on a college campus, I think there would have been a beefier crowd there but it was Good Friday and most of the students had cleared out of the campus for Easter weekend. I would say the venue was 50%-60% full.


STP sounded good, their set was pretty tight and professional. Got up on the rail for this show right in front of Robert DeLeo which was a pretty cool vantage point. The guys looked like they were having a good time. There were a few crowd surfers, mostly females, tried to help catch a few of them when they were tossed our way. Was hoping they may do the 5 to 1 Doors cover tune as they had done it in Australia recently but no luck. With that being said, the set list was nice, they played for about an hour an half, mostly straight through. Robert DeLeo teased a little Kashmir and Lou Reed(Walk on the Wild Side) during the show. Just like the Pittsburgh show I saw last August, they did some loose jams as a preface to some of the songs. Fun evening.

Enjoyed your reviews, Silvergun and RailBrews.  Sounds like it's all good.
This was on a college campus, I think there would have been a beefier crowd there but it was Good Friday and most of the students had cleared out of the campus for Easter weekend. I would say the venue was 50%-60% full.
I think you're right about this--I bought a ticket for the Cherokee show only to end up selling it once I realized it was Easter weekend.

Yeah, I liked that one too.


There is a post a few back with a link to a youtube of Interstate Love Song. I am not quite sure if that particular clip is from the PA show, it is labelled from the previous show from Detroit.
