SCOTT WEILAND Performs Solo Show In Indiana
- Sep. 9, 2006
VELVET REVOLVER/ex-STONE TEMPLE PILOTS frontman Scott Weiland performed a free solo show Friday night (September 8) at the Legends of Notre Dame club in Notre Dame, Indiana. It was the first time Scott played his new solo songs "Killing Me Sweetly" and "Beautiful Day" live. It was also the first time he covered the MARSHALL TUCKER BAND track "Desert Skies". The setlist was as follows:
01. Barbarella 02. The Man I Didn't Know 03. Killing Me Sweetly 04. Desert Skies 05. Wish You Were Here 06. Interstate Love Song 07. Beautiful Day
VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum recently told ABC Radio's ePrep that the band is on track to have its sophomore album, tentatively titled "Libertad", in stores in the spring. No producer has been chosen at this point, but the group has been speaking with Rick Rubin (AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLAYER, SLIPKNOT), hoping to get him to come on board for the project.

There were probably about 200 people at the club, which meant that it was pretty full (it's a very small club). It was just Scott and a guy on the guitar (Beautiful Day on the piano), with some loops being played on a computer. The show itself was phenomenal! Scott's voice sounded great, and he really had a passion for the music. He's also a very big Irish fan (his father played ND football), which made me happy, being a current student at Notre Dame. Scott dedicated Wish You Were Here to "his brother's best friend," Pat Tillman (the NFL player who was killed in Iraq). He also said that the last song, Beautiful Day, is going to be in a new movie called Bug starring Ashley Judd and Harry Connick, Jr. It was very trippy, but very cool in a weird way. I took a couple pictrues, so if I get those up online, I'll post a link here, if you're interested. Those of us who were lucky enough to be there witnessed a great, intimate show with one of rock's most eccentric frontmen, and I for one am looking forward to both the solo record and the new VR. GO IRISH!!!
Thats what a real comment looks like. Thanks for that. If you get those pics let me know, id love to see them. I have a bunch from stp days that i took, but nothing since. Was lucky enough to get a shirt scott wore on stage and two drum stick a the same show. Dean personaly handed me one as i got his attention and a friend and a crowd member boosted me up as he handed it to me. That was the best concert ever. I wish there was video of that somewhere just so i could have that moment on video. But it lives on in my head. And to all the "smack" talk, he's been clean for a long while, hope he stays that way for his own safety. Get those pics up somewhere please and thanks.

I only took two pictures, but they came out pretty well. I sent them to Rik over at velvet-revolver.com and belowempty.com. Hopefully he'll have them up soon. If not, just email me and I can send them to you.
