Stone Temple Pilots

In August 2001, when Stone Temple Pilots performed at the Bizarre Festival in Cologne, Germany, they were in the midst of their career during a transition period. Their fifth studio album, "Shangri-La DEE DA," had been released just prior in 2001. This album showcased a more experimental sound, incorporating elements of pop and psychedelia, which marked a departure from their earlier grunge roots. The live recording of "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart," a hit from their 1996 album "Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop," illustrates the band's enduring popularity and dynamic stage presence, even as they were navigating internal challenges and lineup changes. Notably, this performance reflected their ability to captivate audiences despite the music industry's evolving landscape and their own struggles with addiction and personal issues during that era.
