dunno what to say about this show, scott seemed in good good shape at the start, was very talkative, the more he talked, the less it made sense, he talked about having good luck, making your own luck, then serendipity, the boys ended that speech by launching into heaven and hotrods. he started some thing about how frontmen and guitarist are always linked together then gave dean and rob some big compliments (however it was like he didn't finish his thought on guitarists and frontmen being linked and went into the compliments). at this point i was suspecting he was on drugs? also throughout the set he sang like snippets of stuff between the songs.
they ended sex type thing, off they go for the encore
the first one back on stage is scott, crawling like a monkey, wearing some mask he found backstage, started dead and bloated wearing the mask.... then he got lyrics in the wrong place, the band kept going and and scott did that thing where he kept singing along oblivious to the fact he's way off, scott realized he was off after maybe 30- 40 seconds, the band kinda stopped playing the dead and bloated music and went into sorta of a jam until scott realized he was off. they got the song back on track and finished dead and bloated.
after that scott put down the bullhorn and stood on the riser doing that thank you goodbye wave and he looked back at dean and eric who were behind their instruments looking at him like, we still have trippin' to play. they said something to each other, maybe "we aren't doing that song?" i don't know, dean put down his guitar and walked off stage, as did eric. it wasn't until that point that i realized rob was gone after the song was over. no thank you from the whole band or the bow, eric never threw out the signed drum head, which was there cause i saw it get put there before the show.
waited outside the stage door, rob came out, shook his hand, told him 3rd time seeing stp this summer, he was very thankful, he was on his way to the bus though and had a pile of food, i think he wanted to eat the food real bad, i wished him well and i headed back to my car
that all being said, this was the best i've heard scott sing by far since the reunion, this was also the most animated i've seen him since the reunion
