Stone Temple Pilots featuring Chester Bennington - Wicked Garden Live Performance at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
In July 2014, Stone Temple Pilots, featuring Chester Bennington, delivered an electrifying performance of 'Wicked Garden' at the Budlight Weenie Roast. This was just after the release of their self-titled album in 2010, which marked a significant comeback for the band after a brief hiatus and turmoil following the departure of original lead vocalist Scott Weiland. The live recording captures the band's continued evolution, showcasing Bennington's distinct vocal style blended with the band's signature sound. Interestingly, this performance came during a pivotal time, as the band was exploring new musical directions and the energy of live shows was vital for re-establishing their presence in a changing music scene. The camaraderie between band members and Bennington's raw energy is palpable, making it a memorable moment in their late-career journey.
