Stone Temple Pilots Live Performance at Paradise Festival Holland 1993
In the summer of 1993, just before the live recording in Holland, Stone Temple Pilots had released their critically acclaimed album 'Core,' which featured hits like 'Plush' and 'Creep.' This was a pivotal moment for the band, as they were rising stars in the grunge scene, often compared to giants like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. The live show on August 29 was part of their ascent, showcasing their vibrant energy and solidifying their reputation as a must-see live act. Interestingly, this performance was part of an MTV UK special, reflecting the band's growing popularity in Europe. Notably, this gig took place shortly before the release of their follow-up album, 'Purple,' which would continue to propel them into mainstream success with tracks like 'Vasoline' and 'Big Empty.'
