Review: Stone Temple Pilots put on revolutionary rock show at Jones Beach (Includes first-hand account)

Stone Temple Pilots shared the stage with such musical acts as The Cult and Bush.

They kicked off their set at 7 p.m. with “Wicked Garden,” which featured killer guitar riffs. and it was met with a raucous response from the New York audience. They immediately broke into “Vasoline” and “Big Bang Baby,” both of which were chart-topping singles on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts.

In “Big Empty” and “Plush,” Gutt was able to display his dynamic vocal range, thus leaving the audience in total awe. The inclusion of such newer songs as “Meadow” and “Roll Me Under” from their seventh studio offering, Stone Temple Pilots, was an added treat for the fans and it was a substantial indication that these songs have the potential to become future classics for the group.

Stone Temple Pilots were able to take their fans on a trip down memory lane to the early ’90s with such popular hits as “Dead & Bloated,” “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart” and “Sex Type Thing,” as they rounded out their hour-long set.

The Verdict

Overall, Stone Temple Pilots put on a high-octane, rocking set at Jones Beach, and they were able to rock hard. It is evident that Jeff Gutt was born to sing this kind of music. His passion and love for his craft were infectious tonight. Robert DeLeo was tremendous on bass as always, and Dean DeLeo displayed his intricate guitar work. Last but certainly not least, Eric Kretz delivered on the drums. Their live set at this historic amphitheater garnered an A rating.
