Alive in the Windy City [Blu-ray]

I come from Paris and I will try to explain how I feel about this DVD.First of all I was waiting for a Stone Temple Pilot DVD to be released a long time ago, they are the last "grunge" band (are they really?) of our time, they survived the 2000's.Why Scott Weiland always surprises me? I mean you could swear that his voice and performance will suck big time after all he went trough but like always he surprises me again and again:Very nice intro, nice lights and background. They did make lots of effort on that point and results are beautiful. A big screen with waves during Creep, Circles during Plush...beautiful set up and different in EVERY single song.Apparently Dean DeLeo added some effect on his guitar that really shines his playing. It does some amazing solos to end the songs, lots of personality in his playing and more depth than before. A guitar player will learn a thing or two.Robert has a nice voice that you will have a chance to ear! Excellent backing, the DVD sounds very good in general.Then Scott climbs his podium and it's on you know that's going to get crazy, he is on fire threw the whole concert. What a voice !!! He is a lot more mature then before in his voice and his performance at 44 years old don't except him to jump and bend like before and that's a good thing. My gosh what a style he has! It will inspire your dancing, I dare you not to dance above your bed during Crackerman. Make no mistake Scott might speak slowly and so on but on stage he is ELECTRIC.If you want to see a stylish, mature and tight rock band live, buy this it will be your best purchase in a long long long time!

I admit that I purchased this Stone Temple pilots dvd of Stone Temple Pilots Alive In The Windy City on April 9, 2015. However, I have previously been familiar with the music of Stone Temple Pilots for quite some time due to the fact that a family member generously gifted me with the Tiny Music Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop by Stone Temple Pilots around the time I was 16 years old. Additionally, the alternative rock station I frequently listened to from the time I was around 14 until I was 19 (radio station Q101 that was based out of Chicago, Illinois until I moved away after enlisting in the U.S. navy in 2000)often played various songs by Stone Temple Pilots. I even purchased and reviewed the Thank You cd on September 13, 2009 after coming across STP greatest hits compilation in a local Orlando Florida library a couple miles from the University of Central Florida (I left the review on the Amazon UK website). Purchasing this dvd is well worth is because the band’s music harmonizes well with Scot Weiland’s vocals in the concert performance. With this said, I also enjoy music by Linkin Park and have even purchased their recent Hunting Party cd at my job over six months ago. I’m well aware I may get some unhelpful votes for this because it is not a popular sentiment. However, using the name of Stone Temple Pilots without Scott Weiland’s powerful music vocals is akin to taking Mike Shinoda or Chester Bennington out of Linkin Park and still calling them Linkin Park. Back to the dvd set, many of the classic hits by Stone Temple Pilots are included on this dvd; Vasoline, Wicked Garden, Big Empty, Sour Girl, Creep, Plush, Interstate Love Song etc. (18 songs). My favorite songs cd wise from Stone Temple Pilots are Wicked Garden, Plush, and Vaseline. The band gave their best unified performance in this dvd concert edition and I would have to say that these were some of my favorite performances concert wise even though the songs have a melancholy tune; Sour Girl, Interstate Love Song, Dead and Bloated, and Trippin On A Hole In a Paper Heart (which is also the closing song on the concert dvd). There is also a bonus feature of an interview with STP.

One of my all-time favorite hard-rock bands, STP showed great musicianship and staged an excellent show in the Windy City, Chicago that is. The gig in question was probably one of the very last ones with Scott Weiland as their frontman (and chief songwriter). Scott's drug habits started to damage the band many years ago and since he was never able to kick definitely those habits, he was expelled the year after this show was recorded. Scott is irrepleacebale but the band could not simply continue that way.What a pity.

The audio is good. The video is good.The band plays a solid, non-stop show with a good mix of their hits and "new" stuff.Unlike many other concert BDs, there is no fluff here. No monologues. No interviews breaking up the action.You're here to rock, and STP delivers uninterrupted. You sit down, crank your system, and pretend you're in the audience watching Weiland prance about the stage.I wish I had a recording of the version of Trippin' On A Hole. The tempo changes are magic.Overall, this is a great watch for fans of a great 90's band which was just getting ready to break apart.

I've loved STP for decades. This concert is totally freakn rocking awesome!!! I finally decided to add the Blu-ray to my collection after getting tired of commercials about every 2 songs or so on the free to view version. The audio is WAY better on Blu-ray compared to the free online version and the video quality seems to be a little bit better. This show...THIS SHOW....is TOTALLY enthralling. Rock n Roll to the core! For those of you who disagree or are QQing about how it's so-so or complaining about what all songs they played or didn't play... Why don't you just go back to watching and listening to your Barry Manilow collection where you feel safe.

Good sound quality.

Scott will be sorely missed as they were one of the best bands to watch live and just to listen to. Such a great experience and I'm so glad I found it it's such a great price. I guarantee this will be in my collection for the rest of my life. If you like Stone Temple pilots or you don't know about them buy this you'll love it.

Being a huge Pilots fan, I had my suspicions that this concert was going to be good and boy was I right! These guys take it to the bridge BIG TIME! I was out at Red Rocks a couple of years back and STP's were gigging there about two days after we flew out...this DVD more than made up for that disappointment. It's raw, rocky and raucous!! These guys are truly talented musicians and deliver an outstanding gig with ease...all there best songs delivered in stunning fashion... Turn up the volume and enjoy :)

Great band, classic (real no Chester) line up. Simple decision, if you like STP, you'll like this concert. Without getting too picky and detailed about camera angles and sound, I think most fans of the band will enjoy this show. Most old hits you want to hear plus a few cool tracks from the 2010 self titled release Stone Temple Pilots.

Rápido y perfecto

This is a fantastic concert by Stone Temple Pilots and Scott Weiland is on top form; obviously not under the influence of anything. Picture quality is superb and I was pleased with the selection of tracks covered. Highly recommended.

2010年3月27日、シカゴにある（見たところ）千人以下キャパのシアターでの収録です。ベスト盤「Thank You」初回限定についていたDVDのライヴがとても良かっただけに、年を経たことでの衰えなどないか不安を感じていたのですが、全くの杞憂でした。この４人は、世界でもサイコー（と声を大にして言いたい）レベルのロックをここで聞かせてくれます。6枚目「Stone Temple Pilots」のリリースが5月だったので、このライヴはまだその全容がわかる前、5「Between the Lines」はじめ4曲をやっています。作り立てホヤホヤだけに、4人の演奏には全く迷いがありません。どの曲もアルバムよりエッジが立っていて、個人的にはこっちのほうが好きです。大ヒット曲「Vasoline」で幕開けですが、冒頭の数曲は多少手探り。4「Hollywood Bitch」あたりから彼ららしさが、その独特のヘヴィネス、美しさとともに出てきます。8「Sour Girl」では特にサビの繊細さと美しさが見事に再現され、ハードさと交錯する終盤のアレンジは見事。10「Plush」、ミドルテンポハードネスの神髄極致。13「Huckleberry Crumble」、バンドとしての息がバッチリあっていて、キメのリフでのタメの重たさはハンパない。14「Sex Type Thing」からハードさはさらにギアが入る。16「Lounge Fly」は唯一同期モノ使用なるもロック度は抜群、ロバートの生Gも聴けます。17「Piece of Pie」でキレ、ヘヴィネスは最高潮に、スコットのVoも艶と激しさが見事に同居、エンディング18「Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart」で見事にブリブリぶっちぎり。ブルーレイですから、リージョン関係なくフツーの機器で観られます。また、20分強のインタビューは字幕が選べます。日本語はないですが、英語にすると、結構わかります。ぜひとも、どっ〜ぷりと最高のR&Rに浸ってみてください。

Niente da dire se non: immancabile per un fan del gruppo! Questo live presenta la band al meglio della forma come se non fossero passati già più di vent'anni dal loro esordio. La set-list privilegia i classici del repertorio da Core e Purple senza qualche perla dagli ultimi lavori e "non molla" dall'inizio alla fine...FANTASTICO!!! Grandissimi STP!
