LESTAT

Was anyone able to get a hold of a copy of the japanese CD+DVD version of "High Rise"? Is there anything we haven't seen yet?

Big Empty was performed acoustic for the first time during the same "show" you mentioned in the previous note:

He didn't:

The band will take a day off of their headlining USA Tour with Filter to play Rockwave at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Florida. Jane's Addition is headlining the festival with Stone Temple Pilots playing directly before them. Chevelle, Filter, Anberlin, Sunshine & Bullets, and Before The Fire will also be at the show. Chester has performed 'Mountain Song' by Jane's Addiction numerous times with Camp Freddy, which consists of some of the Jane's Addiction members. Will be perform it at this show? SETLIST: 01. Down 02. Big Bang Baby 03. Vasoline 04. Dead & Bloated 05. Out Of Time 06. Meatplow 07. Silvergun Superman 08. Big Empty 09. Black Heart 10. Interstate Love Song 11. Lady Picture Show 12. Hollywood Bitch 13. Sex Type Thing 14. Sex & Violence 15. Wicked Garden 16. Piece Of Pie 17. Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart - 'Church On Tuesday' and 'Pop's Love Suicide' were dropped due to it being a festival set. - Chester did NOT join Jane's Addiction.

The intro of Interstate Love Song was NOT extended.

There's a bit in "Cry Cry" that is pretty reminiscent of "Feel Good Inc". I always wanted Chester to perform "Wicked Garden". This song is not even in my Top 20 list of STP songs, but for some reason I always wanted to hear his take on this particular song. My wish came true in even better way. lol I would love to hear Chester singing a song by Duran Duran.

You can hear vocal samples from the studio recording during the live performance. Check 1:00-1:03, for example: Also, its impossible for EDM song to be performed live without it being recorded beforehand.

The show is up on Dime: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=465617

Never heard anything like this from them ever before.

Are you sure? Check this thread: http://www.belowempty.com/forum/index.php?topic=9292.0 I had some problems too and everything is fine now. (My nickname is Tyrant)

Somehow I knew you would come up with the best selection.He did perform Helter Skelter though.

It amazes me how Chester is so consistent during this tour. He sounds great.

I do know them very well. Still need to listen to some of the recent recordings. I'll do it asap.However, just of top of my head, the things you mentioned are the only "big" changes. They are basically playing the album versions of the songs. Well except for "Silvergun Superman". The ending of the studio version was intentionally recorded as if the band screwed it up. So they never play it this way live, of course.

STP usually play 2000-5000 capacity venues for a non-festival US shows. I think it's a little bit too early to compare STP and STPWCB crowds, but this current tour is going very very well so far. I would say a bit better than the majority of STP shows from the last few years.

"Piece Of Pie" with Richard Patrick of Filter/Army Of Anyone:

You are very welcome.Sounds like it is.

In the studio version, Scott sings "Know I'll be waitin' here alone" during the first two choruses and "Know you'll be safe but not alone" instead of it during the rest of the song. On "The Family Values" CD it's just "Know you'll be safe but not alone" all the way through the song.Scott always combined these lines differently during the shows. The interesting fact is that it looks like he first started to sing Ah-Ah's over the solo AFTER the Family Values version was released. Anyway, there's not too many live recordings from 2002 and the band never performed this song ever since they reunited in 2008. However, Scott performed it one or two times during his Christmas tour. Don't watch the video unless you want to cringe in embarrassment for him. lol

I am not the best source when it comes to STP stuff, but the fact that I am a Global Moderator on BelowEmpty forums and a fan of Stone Temple Pilots and Scott Weiland for a longer time than 98% of LP community is definitely helps me to be able to run a thread like this.

Did I miss something?

Pretty much the best sad love song in existence, in my opinion.

Chester's part sound really promising.

What are the other shows filmed and used in Points of Authority live video?

15.08.2000 Phoenix, AZ, Mason Jar - Chester screwed up the second chorus of "A Place For My Head" accidently singing some of the lyrics from "Esaul".
