Reviewe(DV)D! Stone Temple Pilots - Alive in the Windy City
Stone Temple Pilots
Alive in the Windy
City
Eagle Vision/Rhino
Stone Temple Pilots, live for over an hour and a half,
and there’s nothing wrong with that statement, an apt description of the
Pilots’ recently released Alive in the
Windy City concert DVD. In terms of this rather impressive setlist, it’s
the bands newer material, songs culled from their 2010 eponymous album, which
really pales in comparison (“Hickory Dichotomy,” “Huckleberry Crumble”) to the
endless parade of hits the band rolls out (“Sour Girl,” “Creep,” “Plush”). And
that’s not even to mention the blockbuster trifecta of “Vasoline,”
“Crackerman,” and Wicked Garden” which
really gets Alive in the Windy City
kicked off on the right foot. Continuing on, Alive in the Windy City delivers again and again, brilliantly it
should be added, in the form of timeless cuts like “Sex Type Thing” and “Dead
and Bloated” before the sometimes underappreciated “Trippin’ On a Hole in a
Paper Heart” rounds things out in style. There’s an interview with the band
included as a bonus, but honestly, when you glance at the setlist here, the
interview is just secondary. If you’ve read this far, it should be no small
secret that Alive in the Windy City
is a must-own.
