In January 1999, Stone Temple Pilots performed live at the House of Blues in Las Vegas for the "MTV Spankin’ Live" series, which showcased the band at a tumultuous point in their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their fourth studio album, "No. 4," in 1999. The album featured a more experimental sound compared to their earlier work and received mixed reviews, yet it still managed to reach commercial success. This period was particularly challenging for the band, as frontman Scott Weiland was grappling with personal issues, including legal troubles that later culminated in his incarceration later that year. The concert not only highlights the band's dynamic live presence but also serves as a snapshot of the struggles they faced at the time, making it an important performance in their history.
