Stone Temple Pilots and Live stopped at the YouTube Theater for one of the hottest Summer co-headline tours with Our Lady Peace (8/18) Our Lady Peace opened the show. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Live’s Throwing Copper and the 10th anniversary of their last album The Turn. As of 2022 frontman/rhythm guitarist Ed Kowalczyk is the sole original member. Half of Live’s 14 song set came from Throwing Copper including the two song encore of “I Alone” and “Lightning Crashes.”

Stone Temple Pilots closed the show. STP is celebrating 30 years of Purple. Of their 14 song set, all 11 of songs of Purple were performed which includes three of their biggest hits “Vasoline,” “Interstate Love Song,” and “Big Empty.” Average White Band and The Heartbreaker’s Steve Ferrone joined in on drums for “Interstate Love Song.” Milk Carton Kids’ Kenneth Pattengale guested for “Plush.” STP ended with “Sex Type Thing.” From 1989 to 2003 and 2008-2013 STP was vocalist Scott Weiland, bassist Robert and guitarist Dean DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz.
Weiland and the band parted ways again in 2013 and Weiland would form a new band the Wildabouts. In 2015 Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington joined for three years before returning to Linkin Park. Tragically Weiland passed away in 2015 and Bennington in 2017. November 24th, 2017 STP performed their first show at the historic Troubadour with their new frontman Jeff Gutt and the following year would have their first tour together. This lineup has released two albums together. Gutt is certainly the closest thing to Weiland as he has the looks, style,voice and persona Weiland had.
