On November 30, 1998, Stone Temple Pilots performed live at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, an event that came shortly after the release of their fourth studio album, "No. 4," which debuted in 1999. This period marked a transitional phase for the band, as they were beginning to navigate the challenges of fame and internal struggles, particularly with lead singer Scott Weiland's issues with substance abuse. The "MTV Spankin' Live" recording features a setlist that showcases their well-known songs, displaying the band's signature blend of grunge, hard rock, and alternative influences. Notably, this performance was part of a wider effort by the band to reconnect with their audience after previous tensions within the group. It captures their energy and musicianship, serving as a poignant reminder of their impact during the late '90s rock scene.
