Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington performing Down live at the Budlight Weenie Roast
In July 2014, Stone Temple Pilots performed live at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion as part of the Budlight Weenie Roast, with Chester Bennington taking the vocal helm. This marked an interesting chapter for the band, following their self-titled album released in 2010 and just before their 2013 release, 'High Rise,' which featured fresh tunes and a reinvigorated sound. Sharing the stage with Bennington, who had joined the band in 2013 after Scott Weiland's departure, showcased a blend of nostalgia and new energy, breathing life into classic hits like 'Down.' The performance not only highlighted the band's resilience but also cemented Bennington’s role in their evolving legacy, enriching their discography and reconnecting with long-time fans while appealing to new ones.
