Stone Temple Pilots Perform SOUR GIRL Live on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno
In May 2000, Stone Temple Pilots performed 'Sour Girl' on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,' a pivotal moment around the time they were promoting their album 'No. 4.' Released in 1999, 'No. 4' showcased the band's ability to evolve while still holding on to their classic rock roots, touching on personal themes and more experimental sounds. The performance highlighted Scott Weiland's compelling vocals, which were increasingly characterized by a fluctuating blend of vulnerability and raw power. This live appearance served as a significant milestone, coming just before the band entered a turbulent period, leading to Weiland's departure in 2002. Fans remember this era with a sense of nostalgia, as it was a time when the band's music encapsulated their artistic growth amidst personal challenges.
