Captured at Chicago's Riviera Theatre in March 2010, this performance showcases Stone Temple Pilots in the midst of their highly anticipated reunion tour. The show, later released as the concert film "Alive in the Windy City," was the first officially authorized live video release by the band. It finds the original lineup of Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz in formidable shape, tearing through a setlist that balances their iconic 90s hits with new material from their then-forthcoming self-titled album.
The concert was filmed for VH1 just two months before the release of their 2010 comeback record, giving the sold-out crowd a preview of new tracks like "Between The Lines" and "Huckleberry Crumble" alongside beloved classics such as "Plush," "Interstate Love Song," and "Vasoline." Weiland, a quintessential frontman, is in his element—charismatic and energetic as he commands the stage. The pristine audio and high-definition visuals capture the intricate musicianship of the DeLeo brothers and the powerful drumming of Eric Kretz, preserving a key moment in the band's later career.
For fans of the 90s alternative rock scene, this concert is a powerful document of Stone Temple Pilots' enduring legacy. It captures the raw energy and complex artistry of one of the era's most definitive bands, performing with the fire of their reunion and the confidence of seasoned rock legends.
