Stone Temple Pilots

In October 2001, Stone Temple Pilots came roaring into the SkyDome in Toronto as part of the 'Family Values Tour,' a festival that merged rock and nu-metal, featuring a lineup of heavy hitters. This live recording happened just after the release of their fourth studio album, 'Shangri-La Dee Da,' which hit the shelves earlier that year. The album showcased their evolving sound, incorporating more melodic elements and introspective lyrics, though it didn't quite reach the commercial heights of its predecessors. Interestingly, by this time, the band had faced numerous challenges, including lead singer Scott Weiland's personal struggles, which often colored their performances. The concert captures not just the music, but the palpable energy of a band at a crossroads, blending familiar hits with fresh material, reflecting both their established sound and their willingness to experiment. Fans were treated to a raw, intense experience that marked a pivotal moment in their trajectory.
