Stone Temple Pilots - Plush Live Performance at Roanoke Civic Center

Venue: Fleet Center Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States Date: November 30, 1996

In the 1996 live recording of 'Plush' at the Fleet Center in Boston, Stone Temple Pilots were riding high on the success of their second studio album, 'Purple,' released earlier that year. This album not only solidified their reputation in the rock scene but also showcased their evolution with hits like 'Vasoline' and 'Big Empty.' The release of 'Purple' marked a pivotal moment as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, proving that STP's blend of grunge and alternative rock resonated deeply with fans. Interestingly, the band was working against the backdrop of personal challenges, including lead singer Scott Weiland's struggles with addiction, which would only intensify over the years. This performance reflects their raw energy and the band's ability to connect with audiences, making it a significant moment in their career.
