Nice! I will definitely be at this show. The Troc is definitely one of my favorite venues too.
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?

Setlist: Order probably wrong in some spots, may be a song missing? I just have a feeling I forgot one.

Opening Jam
Crackerman
Meatplow
Paralysis
Jean Genie
Big Empty
Still Remains
Kitchenware
Where The River Goes/Mountain Song
Can't Stand Me Now
Vasoline
D&B

Roadhouse Blues
Unglued

Just got home from the show, and I had a good time. Scott sounded really good, singing and speaking. The crowd was insane, nothing like I expected, and the lights had to come up for a minute while there was a major scuffle right behind me. More on crowd interaction later.

The show as a whole was good. Everyone I heard after the show said how much they enjoyed it, so it wasn't just me, being a huge Weiland supporter. I knew I was going to enjoy the show anyway, but I truly believe Scott was on point all night. For the Wildabouts and the second opening band, the bass and drums totally drowned out the vocals at times. K&C and Big Empty really showcased Scott's vocals, but the rest of the show was stellar as well.

"Fuck you, Chester" chants rang out through the venue after a few of the songs and during encore break. Scott addressed it after a few songs, saying "Chester is in a band that makes a lot of money[...] I'm just going to play some music, play some music, and..play music". He also said something about the new incarnation of STP not even having a name yet, and a spiel which can basically be abridged to "it is what it is".

One thing probably of note, is that Scott had a meet and greet with a couple before he came on, and they ended up coming on stage, and it ended with a proposal. The band then went into Still Remains, of which the couple had tattooed lyrics.

During the "fight" up front near the end of the set, the show was stopped for a minute or two, and Scott just talked. He reaffirmed the crowd that this was not a Metallica concert. After CSMN, he jokingly said "my next tour is going to be me with just my harmonica and an acoustic guitar".

I feel like he talked more tonight than usual, but he was very coherent and I definitely caught him on a good night. He came on at roughly 10:00, and the second opener ended at 9:10. I was thinking the earliest they would go on would be 10, so I was pleasantly surprised. Overall, it was a very solid performance.

I'm glad he's doing better. But playing 13 (14?) songs for fans who pay their hard-earned money to see him is a slap in the face.

Please, this show was hardly a slap in the face.  They fucking killed it last night, and the crowd loved every second of it.
Picked a song, sang a yellow nectarine.

 There are a lot of videos from this gig on youtube already. It looks like it was a killer show and accurate review. Is it me or does Scott Weiland save his best performances for the most historic venues and musically relevant cities?

I love how nobody reports the positive shit from this tour. All you read about on other shitsites are pathetic and repetitive reviews about Scott being wasted and Doug being a piece of shit.
I can't wait for the new album. Scott's melodies is what made me fall in love with STP.. And judging from hearing "Out Of Time", I won't be bothering to really get into CheSTP.
If you only knew..

Most of the songs played last night are on YouTube on Jim Powers' channel. Big Empty is mislabeled as Creep.

Yes, the show was awesome. Yes, I know he played a shorter than usual set, but they certainly made up for it with the quality. Everybody needs to listen to Kitchenware & Candybars from last night. The reason for the lack of songs had to do with the whole proposal process, bringing them up on stage, etc., and a Bob Dylan parody/cover, whatever you want to call it. And as I mentioned, the lights came up after Vasoline for a minute or two. Just wanted to clarify that he did not come on stage late.

I think A LOT of people that showed up last night would pay $30-40 to see him again.

I have to give credit where it's due. He legitimately sounded better than we've heard him in years in the few videos I saw. That said, don't expect this to keep up.

Scott sounds great here w/ K & C and D & B. Good job Scott, keep marching forward.
