What are your fondest Stone Temple Pilots memories ? For me its their MTV Unplugged as well as the exicitment around the release of the Shangri La De Da album.

Their first two official shows -

Majors in Point Pleasant, NJ (a club on the boardwalk)
The following night - Their debut at the Bank in NYC as part of the New Music festival

As the '80s grew, I became quite discouraged with rock n' roll and began ignoring it altogether. During that time period I began exploring with other types of music like jazz, new-age...whatever other stuff (though I was already very much into bluegrass). Anyway, sometime in the early '90s, I was sitting at work and hadn't bother changing the radio station from where it was when I started my shift.

All of a sudden I heard something I hadn't heard in a long time. I was hearing some down-right crankin' jammin' rock tunage! I jumped up from behind my desk and yelled (litterally) "YES! ROCK N' ROLL IS BACK!!!

I later found out the tune was STP's (whom I hadn't heard of before then) 'Sex Type Thing'.

Life got better after that.

I think STP for the most part was one of these bands that got better with each passing record. Purple and Tiny Music are nearly flawless to my ears.

Saw them for the first time last July in Berkeley.

The band pulled no punches, Scott worked the stage with total ease, and the light show/backdrop screen work was probably the best I had seen in memory.

I'd buy another ticket in a heartbeat!
