Stone Temple Pilots -- Pontiac, MI -- August 18th, 2012

This was the 1st show of the tour. My only hope was that it was a different set than the previous 2x I had seen them. Their tour w/ Cage the Elephant in 2010 and their set at WRIF's 40th Anniversary show a year later were both the exact same show. Both shows were great, but I just wanted them to mix it up, which they did last night. Before busting into "Crackerman" Scott said that they were in Detroit to car shop. He said he wanted a 1968 or 69 GTO, didn't have to be original, but it had to have a beefy engine. He'd pay cash around $30,000, and he'd throw in a brand new color TV. It was also awesome to hear "Silvergun Superman," "Between the Lines," and "Tumble in the Rough." Another great set from STP. I can't wait to see 'em again. Setlist:

Sin
Vasoline
Crackerman
Hickory Dichotomy
Silvergun Superman
Still Remains
Big Empty
Black Again
Between the Lines
Interstate Love Song
Plush
Tumble in the Rough
Big Bang Baby
Trippin' On a Hole In a Paper Heart
--encore--
Dead & Bloated
Sex Type Thing

It's awesome that they're closing with Sex Type Thing.

I've never had a chance to see these guys but this is a great setlist IMO. I'd love to see them throw in Wicked Garden and maybe Unglued too

Vasoline (natch), Crackerman, Silvergun, Still Remains, Tumble, and BBB = Awesome set!!
