The average STP fan would hate it. They don't want to hear songs they don't know. STP is either not a band that can pull off playing a full album or really don't have the fans that want to listen to something from front to back. Megadeth can pull it off, Metallica can.....for STP it won't work. When I saw them a couple weeks ago people got pissed when they played tunes like Black Again and Still Remains because they never heard them. I would be more than surprised if it happens.
I disagree. Yes, tons of people like their other stuff, but the amount of people who only liked Core or loved the whole album is pretty tremendous too. I like the other albums just fine, but Core is the be all end all for me. Purple is great, Tiny Music is good, No. 4 is great, and ST is pretty good too, sure. Core though, front to back, absolute perfection. A lot of people think that way too, maybe not so many here, but the point remains. The intention the band had confessed was to play the full album, so I don't see why they wouldn't. Hell, I even read that the band couldn't wait to play Where The River Goes again. Either way, I'd be surprised if they didnt go through with it.
