Stone Temple Pilots at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, Sat., Aug. 23
Submitted by Wes Bingham
STP delivered a solid show at a brand new venue with great sound. Scott Weiland was unusually mellow and talked very slowly in between songs.
The real story of the night came towards the end when, in the middle of a song, Weiland turned around and flipped off drummer Eric Kretz twice. I thought they might break up right in front of us.
When they finished the song, Weiland walked back to the skin set and Kretz angrily pointed around the stage while guitarist Dean DeLeo acted as mediator.
After abruptly leaving for the encore break, they came back and it was Weiland who screwed the pooch and left out a verse during “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart.”
After the encore, Kretz and Weiland raced to get off stage. No group bow, no waving, no drumstick throwing, no nothing. Good luck to the cities ahead on this tour, it could be a bumpy ride.
