Stone Temple Pilots

In the vibrant atmosphere of the Riviera Theatre on September 30, 2002, Stone Temple Pilots performed an electrifying live set that included the track 'Kitchenware & Candybars.' At this point in their careers, the band had recently released their fifth studio album, 'Shangri-La Dee Da,' just a few months prior, in June 2001. This album showcased the band’s evolution, featuring a mix of melodic rock and introspective lyrics that hinted at the changes within the band. Interestingly, this live performance came during a challenging period, as tensions within the group were beginning to emerge, but you wouldn't know it from the energy they brought onstage. Fans were treated to a raw and passionate show, encapsulating the band's unique blend of grunge and rock. Their presence in Chicago that evening was a celebration of resilience and artistic expression, highlighting why they remain a beloved band in the rock scene.
