This blistering 2001 performance captures Stone Temple Pilots at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, hitting the stage with the raw energy of a band fresh off the release of their fifth studio album, 'Shangri-La Dee Da.' Just weeks after the album dropped, Scott Weiland and company deliver a set that perfectly balances the new material with the iconic anthems that defined their sound throughout the 90s. The show kicks off with 'Days of the Week,' the lead single from the new record, immediately setting a high-octane tone for the evening.
The setlist is a journey through the band's celebrated discography, moving seamlessly from the driving riffs of 'Vasoline' to the expansive, moody atmosphere of 'Big Empty.' A highlight of the concert is a mid-set acoustic session, where the band strips back their sound for powerful renditions of 'Sour Girl' and 'Wonderful,' showcasing Weiland's vocal versatility and the DeLeo brothers' melodic craftsmanship. This intimate moment provides a dynamic contrast to the sheer force of classics like 'Interstate Love Song' and 'Plush.' Filmed for a Much Music broadcast, this concert immortalizes a confident, commanding performance from a band at a pivotal moment in their career, still at the peak of their powers.
