Stone Temple Pilots

In January 1996, Stone Temple Pilots performed a live cover of Led Zeppelin's “Dancing Days” on The Howard Stern Show, showcasing both their musical versatility and the band's peak popularity during the mid-'90s grunge movement. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their third studio album, "Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop," which came out in March 1996. The album marked a pivotal shift for the band, as it embraced a more eclectic sound, blending elements of pop, psychedelic rock, and alternative. Additionally, this period was marked by significant critical acclaim, as the band solidified its place in rock history. Interestingly, vocalist Scott Weiland was known for his theatrical performances, and this cover would have highlighted not only the band's technical abilities but also their willingness to pay homage to rock legends, reinforcing their influence in the music scene of the time.
