If you don't like STP, then you're pretty much not American (from a MO message board)

Got my ticket!

Last time I was at Viper Room was back in 1998 I believe for STP.  What a night!

I'm intereted to see if this show causes as much drama around these parts as last show. Hopefull he gets on stage on time and interested to see the setlist.  I think he'll switch up at least one song

Any reviews on this? I ordered a signed copy from Book Soup but I didn't attend last night.

Last nights show was great...same setlist as new york and the crowd was really respectful no STP chants at all, scott showed up at the viper room early and took pics with people and signed for the ebayers then went to book soup which also went off smoothly!

Really long day.

We posted up at Book Soup around 2pm, the crowd stayed relatively small until about 6pm.  I'd say there were about 3 or 4 hundred people when Scott began signing at 7:45pm.

There was no reading or interview about the book - just the signing.

After that, the doors for Viper Room had already opened.  I put our stuff away and got into the biggest broom closet posing as a music venue.

There were two very forgettable opening bands - don't remember their names.

SW Band came on around 11:30pm - and did their OPENING JAM.  Shortly thereafter, SW thanked everyone for coming out and that this gig was NOT an STP show, rather a collection of tunes that he selected while writing his book.

The band and SW sounded great, it was unreal seeing him in such a small place.  I think capacity is 200.

Setlist (from memory, may be missing a song)  was:
Opening Jam
Waiting for a Superman
Into Your Arms
But Not Tonight
I Am the Resurrection
Let Down
Jean Genie
Rolling Stones cover
Roadhouse Blues
Fame
Frances Farmer
ENCORE - Unglued

The SW Band did share that they may be playing BOSTON in August - rumour only at this point.

All in all - a very unique and special performance - I'll post a couple vids when I get home.
2016 Concerts:
6/3 Vanilla Ice
6/8 The Cure
6/25 Public Enemy

Wow! 200?! I'd pay fortunes for something like this

Seems everything went alright last night ;)

Review: http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2011/05/scott_weiland_viper_room.php

Waiting For Superman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYjqHmeknAY
Frances Farmer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LENYioEMRLE

He sounded so so so coherent before Waitin for Superman!  Completely sober no doubt

And nailed Frances farmer really well! cant wait to hear a studio version of it!

I think Scott is doing very well right now... he seems to be alright!
Seems like you left me when you broke down
